- A day in the life of the Kinzenbaws. They stay busy building some of the world's best Ag equipment, but the Kinzenbaws also love getting out of the office and out on the farm. Join them as they #Plant22 with a Kinze 4905 12-row planter equipped with True Speed high speed meters and the easiest to use Blue Vantage display. In addition, see and hear about their latest project - salvaging and preserving a historic 150-year-old barn located on their farm.

Full credit to your team for saving your local heritage. Our history is so often discarded because of the inconvenience and cost..Love the philosophy behind your planter..Not only does it need to plant well it needs to be simple, robust and reliable. While cost is a huge factor, being able to plant when you need to is probably number one on the list. Especially given our crazy climate and conditions not always being ideal.
Kenze needs to demo your planter with Zack Johnson, So he can ditch his current planter that might plant when it wants to. Senor fault after fault.
I agree, Zach has really had it rough with that planter. He'd need more than a 12 row planter tho!!
Kinze Manufacturing, glad to see Jon and Susie at work and saving history.
Ya Millennial Farmer here's your next planter. I see a demo for Zack Johnson next spring 23.
I spent 4 decades doing barn and historical buildings restorations.
You wouldn't even have had to twist my arm to come save the old girl.
My only advice would be to install a standing seam roof system...
Yes it's pricey, but it can't be matched for longevity and durability. Be sure to install a lightning rod system as well.
Good luck and stay the course!
Thanks for the advice!
It would be very cool seeing a kinzie planter on one of the bigger farm CZcamsrs. I think Zach Johnson the Millennial Farmer is looking at upgrading his planter.
Alternatively there is another American farming channel called Iowanfarmer, the chap does a proper job and he already operates Kinze equipment.
Great Job! Love the passion you both have for tending to the land, and improving it. Just one question, the wisconsin flag on the planter, is there a connection to the badger state? Thanks from a Wisconsin farmer.
I would lean towards that tractor and planter does product testing in Wisconsin
Thanks for the question! For our Test Units we actually use names of college sports teams. This one happens to be "Badgers".
My front barn, 50 x 50, 1880+, hand cut. back of the barn 40 x 40 saw cut. also has a manure rail system in the lower area with a switch track.
Old barns are sweet.
What you are suspecting as a "tobacco drying rack" is actually a "Hoth Hay Mower". It was built near me in northeast Iowa. The purpose of it was to divert loose hay to the sides of the barn elimating some labor in the process. I have literature and some knowledge on them if you are interested. We also have one in our barn.
Thanks for your feedback! The Kinzenbaws would love to learn more. Would you mind filling out the form at www.kinze.com/about/contact-us/ in order for someone to reach out directly. Thanks again!!
Any idea who owned the land when the barn was built? It looks a lot like the Luxembourg barns here in western NY.
As long as I can remember we always run kenze and Macdon tractors and combines change but they don't
Our Kenzie 8 row is the best
Zack Johnson only buys green paint
