The recently introduced 4700 planter from Kinze will be available for the 2020 planting season in 36-row, 20-inch configuration. Kinze says it will add 24-row, 20-inch (51-centimeter) and 24-row, 30-inch (76-centimeter) configurations in the future. (Photo courtesy of Kinze.)

The 2019 National Farm Machinery Show that recently took place in Louisville, Kentucky, provided numerous agriculture equipment manufacturers a backdrop to introduce new products. That included Kinze, which introduced its new 4700 planter for growers requiring narrow row spacing. Available for the 2020 planting season, the 4700 is a 36-row, 20-inch (51-centimeter) model that employs Kinze’s 4000 series cast row unit.

Kinze’s Lineup

Founded in 1965 and based in Williamsburg, Iowa, the family-owned Kinze manufactures and sells various folding, mounted, and rigid planter models spanning four to 36 rows for row-crop production. Besides the 4700, other Kinze planters include the 4900, 3700, 3660, 3600, 3500, 3200, 3140, 3110, and 3000 models.

In addition to including Kinze’s Blue Vantage, Blue Drive, and True Depth technologies, the new 4700 planter from Kinze integrates the company’s 4000 series cast row unit. (Photo courtesy of Kinze.)

Kinze also manufactures single- and dual-auger grain carts and hybrid-horizontal tillage tools. Kinze technology offerings include the Blue Vantage display, Blue Drive electric drive system that works with the display to analyze and report planting data, and the True Depth hydraulic down-force system for seed-depth control.

The 4700 Up Close

In addition to the Blue Vantage, Blue Drive, and True Depth technologies, the 4700 includes a three-section frame with a tool bar that flexes 15 degrees up and down. While the planter includes a 120-bushel bulk seed capacity with hydraulic weight transfer as standard, a 600-gallon (2,271-liter) liquid fertilizer capacity is available as an option.

Susanne Veatch, Kinze president, said Kinze will eventually offer the 4700 in 24-row, 20-inch (51-centimeter) and 24-row, 30-inch (76-centimeter) configurations. Noting that dealers and customers have asked for a new narrow machine, Veatch says the 4700 offers reliability, durability, and planter technologies “that make planting simple and accurate.”
