Who makes a better planter? JD or Kinze. I am looking at either a Kinze 3650 twinline with BULK FILL hopper or a JD 1760 with 60 seed cart. I would like to be able to apply liquid fertilizer. But depending on what you guys say i might sell my grain drill and interplant. With the kinze i am pretty sure you can get a tow behind fertilizer tank. Dont know about JD. I am leanining toward kinze because everything seems integrated and simple and i dont want to have to deal with an air system. Do you guys have differing opinion? i dont want ih or white because i have heard truely diesasterous stories about CIH planting equipment and white doesnt have any kind of bulk system. I would use the the planter on 400+- acres of corn and if it had interplanting it would be used on at least 1000 acres per year. Thanks,
AJZ

I wasn't aware that Kinze was selling the bulk hopper deal yet. I know they had them being prototyped this spring. I don't know if there is a great deal of difference in quality but I think the Kinze has a narrower transport width.

A sort of unrealted fact I heard last week. Kinze now has 80% of the market share on planters wordwide. Also I can't confirm this but supposedly JD sold only 60 some planters in the state of Iowa this year. Only one of Kinze's dealers in Iowa sold more than that many Kinze planters alone.

THE SAME MAN WHO DESINED THE JOHN DEERE PLATELESS PLANTER MADE THE KINZE TOO. DON'T GET A JOHN DEERE BECAUSE THEY ARE AIR AND IF YOU HAVE A PIN PRICT IN THE HOSE YOU CAN NOT PLANT BUT WITH A KINZE THEY DON'T HAVE AIR SO LESS THINGE TO GO WRONG.
