Get FinancingKinze Announces New 5670 Pivot-Fold, Split-Row Planter For 2025 Planting Season
Kinze will unveil its new 5670 pivot-fold, split-row planter at the 2024 National Farm Machinery Show from February 14 to 17 in Louisville, Kentucky. The planter, which Kinze President Susanne Veatch says is “new from hitch pin to closing wheels,” will be available for the 2025 planting season. The implement promises enhanced productivity, additional operator convenience, and reduced maintenance requirements.
Best-In-Class Performance
The 5670 has an all-new frame and Kinze’s 5000 Series push split row units, which the manufacturer says deliver best-in-class residue flow.
“We are excited to release this latest generation of the pivot fold, split row planter,” says Veatch. “Since their initial release in 1983, our push row units have provided unmatched trash flow through a narrow-row planter and versatile and flexible planting solutions on countless farms.”
Kinze 5670 Details
Available in 12/23- and 16/31-row configurations, the 5670 plants 15- and 30-inch (38.1- and 76.2-centimeter) row widths and is well-suited to dedicated narrow-row or multi-crop planting. The 31-row model has a 120-bushel (4,228-liter) seed capacity, and the 23-row model has an 80-bu (2,819-L) capacity.
Lift-And-Pivot Frame Benefits
Kinze says the 5670’s redesigned lift-and-pivot frame enables unmatched balance and stability in the field and a narrow transport width. The frame provides 2 feet (0.61 meters) of toolbar clearance, a foot (0.3 m) of row unit travel, up to 30 degrees of wing flex, and adjustable active hydraulic weight transfer. Users can equip the frame with bulk fill hoppers, push split row units, and optional onboard fertilizer tanks at the same time.
Display-Controlled Operations
The 5670’s Blue Vantage display lets operators control of the planter’s 300-gallon (1,136 L) fertilizer system, which is available with optional factory-installed plumbing to connect saddle tanks or a nurse tank. The display connects with sensors in the tanks that assist automatic tank leveling technology in keeping equal fertilizer levels while planting on slopes.
The display also gives operators control of seed spacing and depth control via the planter’s True Rate vacuum electric meters, as well as the True Depth hydraulic downforce (up to 650 pounds; 295 kilograms) and uplift force (up to 150 lbs; 68 kg) and the closing wheels.
Lower Maintenance Requirements
Kinze says 5670 owners are in for drastically reduced maintenance and a boost in productivity thanks to easier adjustments, fewer grease zerks, and longer-lasting components.
The planter has a variety of longer-lasting components, including greaseless and shimless gauge wheel pivot arms, large cast parallel arms with double bushings, disc openers with double-row bearings and hardened scrapers, and greaseless row markers.
