Both are great units! John Deere just happened to be throwing around extremely low numbers 😁

We always try to do what’s best for everyone while also maximizing our production.

Thank you! The soybeans are looking good this year.

They’re good old planters. As long as the chains are turning they’re planting!

Crazy

Thank you!

Obviously if the conditions aren’t fit, we only plant at what would be appropriate. But between working our ground extremely smooth, having little to no rocks and todays equipment being built extremely beefy we’ve had zero problems planting at that speed. We’re not going to do things intentionally that we know would break our equipment. Breakdowns mean downtime, we can’t afford to have downtime. These aren’t the JD 7000’s from the 80’s. These are whole new machines.

Ours was very good to us this year!

Yep, we’ve played with it a bit and can get better with some tinkering. Thanks for the input!

That is correct.

@@farmingwiththetaylors how are you doing that? We’ve got a 340 on a 1795 and we’ve gotta use John Deere auto steer and aftermarket switch. It’s a pain

Using a JD 7000 receiver for shutoffs and speed and Gen 5 monitor to control the planter. Auto steer is all factory Case IH with Pro 700 and 372 receiver. The John Deere components are completely separate from the Case IH tractor. Works very well and very easy to set up.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Kinzes are very good planters, hence why we still run one. Although when you get down to it, Kinze and John Deere planters are very very similar. They have been for decades and there always seem to be lawsuits between the two companies on planter designs.

Why not? We may not NEED them, but it’s very nice when they tell you practically instantly when something may not be right. Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to farming, so we’ll take all the help we can get.

Both our high speed Kinze we had last year and the John Deere this year did exceptionally well. We’ll have videos on spraying and sidedressing our corn that way you can see just how good our stands are. We have no complaints on singulation whatsoever. We’re not the only ones out there planting at higher speeds. There are plenty of other videos of people planting even faster than us with just as good of stands.

That statement is a great indicator that You obviously don’t have a clue about planting corn with a modern planter. This isn’t grandpas finger pickup planter with spring downforce.

Maybe, maybe not! 😂

Thanks! We have thought about it. As of right now we really like what we’ve got going. It’s been very good for us.

We will be considering a DB for our next bean planter. Our current Kinze 15 inch bean planter has rows that get run over by tires which can be a challenge sometimes depending on the soil conditions. We are also thinking on 20 inch beans, so a Kinze is definitely still an option. We’ve had 5 different Kinzes on the farm over the years and they’ve been very good to us.

Good stuff!

Thank you!

The next video to come out will answer that!

@@farmingwiththetaylors Looking forward to that !!

We’ve considered trying the extended wear ones. May have to give it a whirl.

@@farmingwiththetaylors ive been happy, buddy in martinsville is running a Richmond I think sweep on sunflower said he's on year 3 not changed one yet, guy was to send me to that will fit our knock on piece still waiting

Thanks for watching!

We’re not for sure exactly. We heard at the end of the season that multiple other people were having the same issue across the country. We never heard an answer before we got rid of it. Our assumption is some sort of software issue. Hopefully you get it figured out quickly!

Thank you! We’ll have more videos coming out as soon as the weather cooperates!

We can’t catch a break

Thank you very much!

We’ll have an explanation coming soon!

Thank you!

We’ll do an explanation in an upcoming video!

Would have liked to have seen a red planter on your farm. The closing system is far better than the green, not to mention clean out is far far easier to cite just two

Maybe one day! Green and blue planters are by far the most popular in our area. Even the local Case IH dealer sells more Kinze than Case. We never say never though!

We’ll be back at it tomorrow with corn and beans!

Thanks!

They’re good tractors!

Glad that works out for you!

Thank you!

I’m not for sure. If so I haven’t heard.

Thank you!

It does! They get cleaned/replaced when needed.

We ended up doing that off camera. Only needed to take a shim out of each side and they were good to go! We’ve been very fortunate as this planter has taken very little adjustment from year to year.

Sure is! We have it chipped to over 650 horsepower 😁

Yes they are. There is two on it, one for seed delivery and one for vacuum.

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!
