50 Years of Disruptive Innovation

[@anthonybanda8192]

They make a great planter. I'm 26 years old and I bought a 3600 central fill planter interplant. The machine has yetter row cleaners and electric drive with hydraulic down force . I can plant corn in the morning and switch to beans at lunch in about 20 minutes and be off and runing. We even have planted wheat with it last fall . We run 15 inch spacing and then we put in the GPS a 7 inch offset to ensure a healthy stand. Dad and I checked out the 800 acres of winter wheat and it looks as good as if we drilled it in . Thank you kinze for the good work that you do . If it wasn't for that new planter last year we wouldn't have had a crop on most of our fields here in michigan.

It seems to me that Jon is a genius. We went through the innovation center the other day and were really impressed

[@markdanielczyk944]

Great people, great products!

[@anthonybanda8192]

We own a kinze 16 row planter. The unit is the best improvement we have invested into.

[@davejensen8882]

Great products, fair price, good dealers.

[@CheeseMiser]

Idk if Jon Has any affiliation with this channel. But as a young farmer interested in ag equipment mfg. I just wanted to tell you that you are a huge inspiration to me. And also, I am currently 15 but will be 16 in early February. Thanks Jon

[@jamesbarbour8400]

That video was actually hugely interesting, particularly the earlier years when Jon retrofitted many John Deere tractors with non original engines. Would have liked a video dedicated to just that subject on its own.

[@michaelpurves5648]

very inspirational viewing, as an Ag guy, fair play and a very respectful thank you, for your input and drive to the agriculture sector,

[@KinzeManufacturing]

Thank you, Michael!

[@davidkimmel4216]

We do have a 32 row planter. Love it

[@RD2564]

Awesome video. I had the good fortune to work in Lithuania for 2 years 20 years ago, good times.

RD2564 Thank you!

[@marietasimon4362]

Congratulations Kinze and partners

See that, folks? The American Dream in action. The man started with a small shop and small loan, produced a product that people wanted and didn't squander the profits. It takes fortitude, but fortitude is a strange word to many in America today.

@@texasrox2010..."The older generations can't see the changing times and in most cases refuse to acknowledge it."...well, Joelynn... that is not entirely true at all. You're correct in what you say in regards to "You can't get a toe hold anywhere without the government or some mega corporation coming down on you." I'm a "boomer" and was doing meetings back in the early 1970s (long before the age of home computers and all the "internet experts") warning people about the ongoing (that's right, Ongoing... since [especially] FDR's administration in the 1930s) "Agenda" to set this country up for the final take-down (which will happen, soon) and how the feds (on Both "sides" of the same aisle) were, are and will be complicit in all of it. Everything that I said was coming in the late 60's and early 70's, has already, is now... and is about to, Very soon. One thing we had and have... that the successively younger generations (now, especially) do NOT have, is common sense... we were the last generation literally taught (in public schools, no less!) how to "use our God given brains" and think for ourselves. All the successive generations beginning in (especially) 1970, have been purposefully "set up" as non thinking "entitled" dummies.... why?.... because, they're not going Anywhere, refer back to what I said above in regards to the "final take-down". The "older" generations DO see what is going on, and just shake their heads in disgust of how this ONCE great country has Devolved into the cesspool of just about every kind of vile and corrupt degradation that one can think of.... it's a combination of ancient Rome and Sodom & Gomorrah... On Steroids!!..... and as Sodom & Gomorrah was obliterated, so is the soon to unfold "end" of our country going to be a duplication thereof.... obliterated.

[@farmshowmagazine9164]

Technology in farming has come a long way.

[@ryanvanpelt8528]

Wow, cool to see the story

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Disruptive innovation comes from the minds of people who think “why not”,,, instead of the phrase “what for” that fills the minds of negative critical narrow minded people.

Nope, roof leaks and shop is smokey year round.

[@servicetrucker5564]

Sure would’ve been nice to have a K Cummins in one of those big John Deeres

[@thevox1075]

They should be a full line company. Wonder what a Kinze tractor or combine would be like?

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

Kinzie tractor was featured.

[@thevox1075]

Not that tractor. A modern line of equipment. All the major brands are producing overrated, complicated shit that’s super expensive, and doesn’t last. Someone should manufacture a modern day version of an 806 or 4020. Simple, but built to last.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

@@thevox1075 I won't disagree with that. The emission laws have got everything so messed up. Manufacturers have found a goose laying gold eggs in keeping you coming back for parts and repairs; some you just cannot do yourself. Trucking industry got around it with glider kits for a while but now that's gone. Ag industry won't get far on that idea. That drives the used market up.

[@thevox1075]

thegreenerthemeaner I used to work for CaseIH. Now I repair good used equipment on my farm, guys can actually afford to pay me to work on their 806!

[@CheeseMiser]

@@thevox1075 do you have any tractors like as a collection, just curious

[@formerfarmer1718]

Didn’t Jon also invent and sell to John Deere the Maxemerge planter unit then later win back from John Deere rights to build and sell the units himself? Or have I had this misconception for many years?

[@davejensen8882]

No. It is a very interesting story. You can find it on the internet. A David vs Goliath story and David won.

You couldn't buy fuel for a 318 now days.

[@Romans--bo7br]

@@blainemcelwee2222.... honest question, what is a "318"?

[@jerrykinnin7941]

@@Romans--bo7br an old 2 stroke Detroit diesel. Out of a semi truck. An 8v71. 8 cylinders at 71 cubic inches each. or you could use a VT 903 Cummins. If you know what your doing. You could put a 475 hp 12v71 Detroit in a tractor. Allison Cambers made a 450 hp v8 called the purple monster. Painted it purple. But 2 stroke Detroit's have that sound. Their nick name is "Screaming Jimmy".

[@Romans--bo7br]

@@jerrykinnin7941... Thanks for your reply, Jerry. Actually, I was just curious why you (and just about every other person on this subject) automatically call Series 71 V8 Detroits "318's". I formally studied 2 cycle Diesel Design & Theory for four (4) years, back in the mid - 1960's under one of DD's design teams leading engineers who developed the very first 2 cycle GM Diesel ("Detroit"). Just so you know... an 8V71NA Detroit was Only rated at "318"hp If it was equipped with N65 Injectors, Std. timing and governed for 2,100 rpm. There were also 260 & 290 hp versions as well. The Cummins VT 903... at least for truck use, were basically - "junk"... they were an undersquare design and so couldn't "hold" what little torque they developed on any kind of grade with a load. As far as the Allis Chalmers (Not "Allison Chamers) engine you're talking about... it was (officially) called "Big Al".... there were two versions, the 25000 and 35000, and Neither was a "V8" they were both inline 6 cyl. engines. Yes, they were painted purple during the road trials era of the early 70's and the horsepower was varied between 425 to 525hp depending on what region of the country they were being tested and what brand & type of truck (conventional or COE... most were in COE's) they were adapted to. They were offered for a short time as engine options... however with AC's takeover by Oliver, the "Big Al" had a short life, and they cancelled any further development. Blown head gaskets and broken crankshafts were a constant issue, especially on the high output versions. They would have been a tremendous engine for the class 7 & 8 truck market, had AC not sold out as they did, and had fixed the two main issues but the new owners didn't want anything to do with getting into the heavy duty truck market, so the "Big AL" was shut down for good.

[@susansmith1817]

In a state that is made up of prairies, you would have, ummmm prairies if they stopped farming there. Desert areas would be,ummmmmmm, desert. Small farms do cut down some trees in areas that have,well,ummmm, trees, but places like Arkansas usually only mass plant crops in the lower/wetter Delta regions we're the complete removal of trees wouldn't be 100% practical. Yes, we need better ways, but it is already not very practical to grow us enough food. Grass hoppers will die until we find a practical and economical use for them !

'$3600' to what it is now? Hmmmm, I wonder. It would seem to me that there must have been other financial resources available.

[@KinzeManufacturing]

Hi Paul - You’re right, as the company grew, there were many times when loans were necessary. However, when Jon was just running Kinze Welding, the $3655 loan is what helped him buy his first welder, and many other tools, and get started.

[@paulbroderick8438]

Now that makes sense! Congratulations on your success. Initially, it reminded me of the two guys down to their last dollar apiece, one spending it on a coffee, the other turning it into a million! Thank you for the response.

[@Tractorandsirens]

So kinze pretty much copied John Deere stuff right?

[@KinzeManufacturing]

Carsen Culpitt Kinze has been creating first in the industry innovations for more than 50 years. Many of these innovations are highlighted in the video.

[@gliderider7077]

May want to do some research young man, Kinze has been making good equipment great and last longer than the original manufacturer.

[@kyleshores432]

there was a very long story written that I came across awhile back, which was a long drawn out battle with John Deere over who had rights to what, and Deere had been really shitty.....after the huge trail and whatnot I'm shocked to see so much Deere crap in the video, but guess sometimes you have to bury the hatchet and move on

[@RD2564]

Other way around young man, "green" has been reduced to copying innovators for decades. Look at the quad track, took them 20 years to copy CaseIH, and they still couldn't get it right.

[@interman7715]

RD2564 Not to mention the IHC single rotor combine, JD waited 20 years to see how that went ,before building one ,or taking till 1960 to get rid of those silly old putt putt tractors and build an inline multi that the competition had been running since 1920,haha ha real innovators the old JD.
