EC MN - Hour North of 'The Cities' | 16/31 with box extensions and 4 -100 gal tanks for 10-34-0...that thing was HEAVY when loaded. Also add trash whippers to the mix and there is a lot of weight on there.
Our Beanhustler arm came in handy to fill the interplant boxes in the front.
Becasue the frame was only inches off the ground, if you got into a wet spot you instantly got stuck due to the low frame if you tried raising it. This was on conventional tillage, so that could have been a factor. Pulled it with a 8670 Genesis, Cat 45, and a JD 8X10T. Needed to have FWA on the Genesis to make it work well enough.
We didn't like it how we would run over 8 of the interplant rows with the tires...if you are setting it up for twins you should be better.
It might be the most heavily built planter that we have or will ever own...no question Kinze can build some strong stuff.
Transport width was nice and I don't think it ever felt 'top-heavy' on the road.
With the lift and turn system, it was very nice to do service on the planter in the mornin without crawling around on the ground. |
