Kinze Offers the New 4900 Series Planter for 2014, Increased Productivity and Precision

Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. is proud to promote its new Kinze 4900 planter series. With a new narrow transport front-fold frame design, 30” row spacing, and a choice of 12, 16, or 24 rows, the Kinze 4900 planter offers many significant new features that contribute to productivity and precision during the planting season. The new planter boasts a patent pending seed meter that offers 99+ percent accuracy at speeds from 2 to 8 mph. Also new is the availability of the electric drive (also patent pending) with the meter.

The new planter frame has 42 degrees of wing flex (21 degrees up, 21 degrees down) to offer superior ground contact on rolling terrain and terraces. With the new bulk fill tank design, the 16- and 24-row planters offer 120-bushel capacity while the 12-row offers 90-bushel capacity. Maneuverability is critical, so Kinze engineers incorporated an industry exclusive flip-axle option (patent pending) for the 24-row planter to significantly reduce hitch weight and make it easy to move in and out of fields.
