Kinze unveils center pivot folding planter PLANTING EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 16-6-4 The "center pivot" post on Kinze's new 2500 series Twin-Line 6- and 8-row planters lifts up the entire rigid frame planter and then rotates it 90 degrees to provide trans-port widths as narrow as 11 ft. 2 in.
`The 2500 series planters are a less ex-pensive version of our larger 2300 Twin-Line series. The rigid frame design means less steel and fewer hydraulic components," says Kinze's Dennis Whitehead.
"One reason we developed this planter is that some Eastern states now require an escort or permit to transport any implements over 12 ft. wide. Even though transportation restrictions aren't as tight in the Midwest, interest has been tremendous because it's so much easier and safer to transport," notes Whitehead.
The double toolbar design allows the planters to handle liquid or dry fertilizer and be equipped with single or double disc openers, or with interplant push units for 15-in. narrow rows (transport width is 12 ft. 6 in. with interplant and no-till coulters).
A 6-row model without any attachments sells for $17,298 and an 8-row model for $18,848.
