Thanks for your comments and suggestion. Let me clarify my situation here. We are promoting no-till in northeast China where corn and soybean are two major crops. Soils a mollic-like type similar to the soil in the corn belt. We bought a Kinze3000 (4 row) few years ago; it works great in the region. Farmers, as well as the government, are eager to extend notill acreage in the region. However, we have two problems here:
1. Instead of 30 inch of row spacing, corn is seeded on a row spacing of 25.9 inch (65 cm). Changing row spacing is something very difficulty - each household might have only few rows of land.
2. More and more farmers are applying fertilizers (many using slow-release N) once as the starter, so few farmers are side-dressing corn. The application rate is about 800-900 pound per acre of dry granular, which Kinze 3000 can not handle.
Kinze 3000 is good for testing no-till but is not suitable to farmers. We need a planter which can work on heavy corn residues as well as meet about two requests. We know big manufacturers do not produce this kind of planters now in the states. I know that Vence Tudo's planter can narrow the row space down to 25 inch; however, I have no idea how reliable this planter is. All suggestion are welcome. If someone has knowledge and ability to build this kind of planters in China, it would be great to Chinese as well as to the world. There is a great market potential for ag-equipment in the region.
