Kinze Adds New Planter Configuration

Kinze Manufacturing has unveiled a new addition to its line of 3600 planters. The 3600 planter will now be offered with Air Seed Delivery (ASD) in both 12- and 16-row configurations. In addition, these new models will be offered either with or without Interplant row units.

The 3600 planter with ASD comes with two centrally mounted, 40-bushel hoppers that distribute seed to individual row units using air pressure. The only moving part of the ASD system is the blower fan.

“We know that planting season is a high-pressure time of year – that’s why we build planters like the 3600 with ASD,” said Kinze Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Susanne Veatch.  “They’re tough, reliable and efficient, increasing the planter’s productivity during the most critical time of year.”

The 3600 planter with ASD features a durable three-section frame that provides 14-degree total flexibility.

It also features a hydraulic weight transfer mechanism that prevents the wings from rising out of the ground and maintains consistent seed depth for optimum seed placement. This feature still allows the frame to flex naturally in fields with rolling terrain and terraces.

In addition, the 3600 transports as narrow as 11 feet, 2 inches for more convenient access to and from the field.

Other features of the 3600 planter with ASD include: 

• The three-section double frame has a four-row center section and four or six rows on each wing.
• A clean, uncluttered toolbar that adds strength and weight to the machine where it belongs, for durability in tough planting conditions.  
• Availability with either mechanical seed metering or with the Kinze EdgeVac vacuum seed-metering system. 
• Hydraulic drive is an option on the 3600 with ASD (however, this option is not available on models equipped with both ASD and the EdgeVac metering system). 
• Pneumatic down pressure is optional on the 3600 with ASD. This feature allows users to vary down pressure on-the-go as field conditions change.  
• Two, 200-gallon liquid fertilizer tanks. It comes standard with notched single-disc row openers. In addition, an optional trailer hitch for an auxiliary tank, for use with Interplant row units, is available. Dry fertilizer cannot be used with ASD.
• This model’s Twin-Line transport system features a 7-by-7-inch stainless steel-clad center post with UHMW plastic pads that glide against the post as it is raised and lowered. This means no lubrication is necessary.
