Kinze is bringing a new planter to the market in time for the 2025 planting season. The company’s new 5670 pivot fold, split row planter will be available in 12/23-row and 16/31-row configurations, can plant both 15” and 30” row widths and can be used as a narrow-row planter or a multicrop planting solution. The 31R15 has a seed capacity of 120 bushels and the 23R15 has an 80-bushel seed capacity. One of the standout characteristics of the planter is the frame. The frame is an all-new construction, which is designed to help with durability and performance, said Brad Niensteadt, a senior product specialist with Kinze. “The new frame supports 24 inches of under toolbar height, so there’s more room for residue flow,” he told Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest. “We’ve increased our wing flex to 30 degrees to help farmers handle rolling terrain and we still have our adjustable active hydraulic weight transfer system.” This system takes how much seed weight is in the tanks and adjusts how much weight goes to the wings based on how much seed is in the tanks. This helps with compaction and makes for an evenly distributed toolbar, Niensteadt said. The 5670 planter also comes equipped with multiple standard features. These include spoked gauge wheels to help with residue flow, especially in damp conditions. Greaseless and shim-less gauge wheel arms, meaning farmers don’t have to grease the row units daily. It also comes with a standard variable displacement PTO pump that runs all the functions across the planter. A new optional feature Kinze is offering on the 5670 is a liquid fertilizer package available in a split row configuration. Both models in the planter lineup can accommodate 300 gallons of fertilizer. The planter can support rates between two and 25 gallons per acre at speeds ranging from 3 to 12 mph. And an automatic tank levelling feature automatically diverts fertilizer from one tank to the other. This helps farmers plant on different terrains without worrying about fertilizer overflow. All the planter’s options and features are integrated into Kinze’s Blue Vantage display, which comes standard with the 5670.
