“The 3505 pivot fold planter is the newest addition to Kinze’s True Speed high-speed planter lineup. It is simple to operate, high-performing and offered with or without split 8-row 30″ and 6-row 30″ configurations,”

said Kinze president, Susanne Veatch.

With Kinze’s True Speed technology, consisting of a high-speed seed meter and seed tube, the 3505 enables farmers to plant at speeds up to 12 mph, doubling the number of acres they can cover in a typical day without compromising singulation accuracy or spacing.

Performance is optimized with Kinze’s Blue Vantage display with shared coverage data and up to four planter-mounted cameras. The 3505 also features Kinze’s Blue Drive electric drive and True Depth hydraulic downforce for accurate seed placement to maximize performance and productivity. Bulk-fill seed-carrying capacity of 50 bushels, with liquid and dry fertilizer options, enables farmers to get in and out of the field quickly.

Other features include:

• Exceptional seed-handling capabilities with upgraded bulk fill entrainer. Farmers can use the 3505 for planting corn, soybeans, sweet corn, cotton, sunflowers, milo/sorghum, edible beans, sugar beets, and wheat.
• Narrow transport and easy serviceability are achieved with a double frame, lift and pivot folding frame design.
• Improved durability, longer wear life, and lower cost of ownership from Kinze’s 05 Series row unit upgrades.

New row cleaners

Also new for 2023, Kinze will offer Yetter 2940 Air Adjust Series row cleaners on its 4905 and 4705 Blue Drive planters. They are factory-installed and fully controlled with the easy-to-use Blue Vantage display. Using the dedicated row cleaner display screen, farmers can easily change row air settings and operating depth for optimum residue control from the tractor cab.

The parallel linkage equipped row cleaner and colter and row cleaner combo are both equipped with up and down airbags to precisely follow ground contours and clear a path for an ideal seedbed. They are standard equipped with a hydraulically driven pneumatic compressor and SharkTooth row cleaner wheels.

Kinze Manufacturing is expanding its new high-speed planting technology with the addition of a second 4905 True Speed planter model for the 2021 season.

Earlier this year, Kinze announced plans to introduce the 4905 planter in a 24-row model for 2021.

“The 16-row configuration was originally planned for 2022, but testing went so well we’re pleased that we are able to move up our timeline and make this model available to farmers next season,”

said Kinze president Susanne Veatch.

“Both configurations enable farmers to double the number of acres they plant in a typical day or cover the same acres in a more timely fashion. The technology also supports operations trying to expand because farmers can plant more acres with the same size planter.”

Veatch said.

The True Speed system, developed by Kinze, consists of a new high-speed electric meter and seed delivery tube enabling corn and soybean farmers to plant at speeds up to 12 miles per hour while maintaining precise singulation and seed spacing.

Both 4905 configurations feature Kinze’s easy-to-use Blue Vantage display and Blue Drive electric drive, as well as the Kinze 05 planter series upgrades designed to increase the wear life of many components, simplify maintenance, improve performance and reduce the overall cost of planter ownership.

Both True Speed models are now available for ordering from Kinze dealers. For additional information, farmers can contact their Kinze dealer or visit kinze.com.
