I currently have a kinze 2200 econo fold planter with no attachments. My question is can I set this planter up for effective no-till or should I be looking at a differrent planter. If I can use this planter what attachments should I look at adding. I am new at no-till but I will be no-tilling come next spring. Thanks in advance for any and all information.

You have alot of work ahead of you (or money). You need row cleaners, Keatons, tined closing wheels, and CIH gauge wheels. Alot of money, but performance that cannot be beat (yet).

Your planter will do well. I would add the Martin row cleaner and spading closing wheels. I also use the Ketton seed firmer to put on starter fertilzer with insecticed. Also I like the I-H depth wheel tires and a drag chain made from the county grader chains. Your can find all this at the Martin web site.

The attachments to start out with would be a coulter row cleaner, and a good fert placement coulter.. Yetter has a new floating row cleaner, that can be locked down for corn on corn residue.. Give them a call, they work with first time no-tillers all the time,like me.

Brian, give serious consideration to the kinze row cleaner and coulter combo. It is heavy duty and has a simple eccentric to adjust the height. It is made for kinze by Martin.

As the earlier posts said, use Martin closers and Caseih tires. Both are absolutely mandatory for successful no till. I wouldn't think of going into the field with anything else.

We used the Yetter combination coulter row cleaner this spring and got along great. I think it was called the Titan. We liked to be able to let it float or to be pinned solid. Some fields had some tougher residue. We liked the

Setting up a planter for no till is as hard as you want to make it. To get started you need a coulter, second spiked closing wheels are in my opinion the most vital part of the no till machine. Once those two bases are covered you can no till, the options of international guage wheels and the keeton seed firmers will always be there but if you are just getting started they are not a must. My main point is to wear out your guage wheels and true v discs, then when you are in there replacing them decide weather or not you need the other stuff. You dictate how much you want to spend.

The biggest step was when I took off the coulter, Mark.
Have you tried that?
