The Story of Kinze

[@wendellhagg3511]

Awesome Company and Products. Great People, met Mr. Kenzie at two day Auction in south Florida. He is not afraid to shake hands and talk to Farmers !! H.

[@skylineleathercompany]

Seeing the head of the company in the driver seat of the tractor using the products he sells, says a lot.

[@davidschick6951]

I worked there from August 2013 to September 2014. I wasn't an innovator really, just ran tools and drove a forklift. But I loved every minute of it. I loved the positive energy in the plant, even when it was hot as hades. I didn't mind the commute. Sad day when the layoff came.

[@mikelessiter8619]

Great story of entrepreneurism. An American success story not just in ag, but in all of business and manufacturing.

[@davidcolgan3268]

Very interesting! I was hired by Deere just before the tussle over the row units and had to help go through records for the attorneys. Over the years, I have admired and sometimes envious the development that Kinze was able to accomplish. You did touch on something that I felt is very important is that the engineers need to know how machines are used and how to set them up and fix them. Not just look on a computer screen and that is good enough. I feel that is lacking in the majors today. I do miss the hands on stuff now that I am retired. I am also envious of your tractor collection.

[@brianhall593]

A man with a passion who wasn't afraid to try and fail! Great way to run a business with dealer, customers and your own feedback! Don't forget where you came from and keep up the good work

[@brianpalmer8112]

We love our Mack till. We did have a 1050 cart for many years was a great cart. Ran the 12 row front fold planter for a few years and was a great planter

[@bradbain1099]

Families and companies like this are what makes America great.

[@lars277]

This was a great video of a true American farmer success story. I see most of this success in remembering who they are and what they do. Great work.

[@MrNobody2828]

I bought a Kinze auger wagon with a scale. That is nice to have for checking yields and for loading a semi for market in the off season. Everything is heavy and well built with grease zerks. Thank you Kinze for a well built piece of machinery!

[@rossjameson1502]

Hauled many a planter out of there to southwest Kansas. I loved that when loaded on my trailer they were a legal load. The guys doing the loading were very friendly and helpful when securing the load. Miss my trips to Williamsburg.

[@stanhensley3082]

Hard work and listening to other people does pay off. Thanks 😊.

[@dougschmitii6165]

The thing that I admire most, is that Deere tried taking him down but he still uses and collects Deere tractors. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge. I highly recommend his book. It's a very good read!

[@MrNobody2828]

What's the title of their book? I would like to read about their company.

[@ronaldradtke8577]

Ur real a true American Legend !! Great story !! U change the game for the American Farmers !!!

[@CanfieldFamilyFarm]

We currently own what was Jon kinzenbaw’s DMI big little gravity wagon with rear auger. It’s a great piece of machinery.

[@davidreis8643]

Watching this on tv with popcorn, cause I love me some kinze products.

[@KinzeManufacturing]

Awesome! Glad you're watching!

[@acleanutah8484]

Great answers and innovation to farmers problems not answered by the legacy manufactures. Problem solving business at it's finest. GO KINZE

[@h.crawfin4423]

This is what KZbin does, I started watching funny fails videos but got bored, scrolled down to tractor pulls 2021 and now I'm here at kinze. I think the AI is reading my mind tonight.

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

What an awesome story!

[@grant1221]

we still have an old kinze planter that uses our old john deere planter parts

[@jazzerbyte]

I hadn't been following the company but am glad you were able to hire a good electronics team. Although the company started as a mechanical products innovator, it's hard to imagine a modern planter without the use of electronic sensors and it's just as important that they're reliable.

[@chuckwillcox1930]

Thanks for sharing the story of how it started and keeps going.

[@christopherjohnson4626]

Very Nice, thanks for sharing your family story, great Documentary about how you got started and where the company is headed,,I am a huge fan a Kinze equipment..wishing you and your company much success into the future.

[@robertpayne2717]

Our first grain buggy was a 180 bushel Eddins made in Stuttgart Ark in the early 1960's they were good grain buggies. My dads first rice crop was on a 40 acres in eastern poinsett county, i think it was a medium grain variety and it lodged on him he had a John Deere 95 B combine no grain cart and a roughly 60 mile round trip to the rice mill. It took him 45 days to cut that 40 acres. He was setting more than he was cutting. The following year he bought the grain cart and expanded to roughly 160 acres of rice. Then he turned his rice ground back in the mid 60's after his dad and mom were killed in a carwreck to manage my grandfathers farm and estate. Almost 600 acres of cotton and soybeans with some winter wheat.

[@garyluck8502]

Met John at a auction told him your the man that made jd mad he grinned and said they made me mad! Nice fellow to visit with, my wife talked to him she had had no idea who he was !!!

[@RedIron1066]

Love how John isn’t afraid to call Deere out for what they really are!

[@ewan4805]

Congradulations for a job well done! Wishing you many years of continuing success.

[@richbenich2718]

Thank you for being you!

[@rayclark8920]

Thanks for putting together such an awesome video. I have seen this brand around our community for many years did not have a clue it was American born and raised.

[@robertwatkins8220]

I thought the first build was an Articulating 4x4 tractor? Great story! Nice to see all your equipment everywhere we travel!

[@braddobson2060]

Excellent vidio Thanks for sharing your story

[@chriscreech716]

I really enjoyed that. Have a good day.

[@Navajo-man]

That’s what’s call making it USA video was excellent explaining what it does love it and as always you all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@simpleman4196]

That was a good video thanks for the storyline.

[@tomdonelson385]

Does Kinze Manufacturing attend the Big Iron Farm Show held every fall in West Fargo, ND?

[@jimmystrain883]

What made you decide on the color blue for the color

[@Dennis-bj9cj]

I love this company

[@Ihfarmer1066]

Great products and great people and great company never had an issue with kinze

[@DAVIDKHAINE]

You guys have alot of cool stuff. I own a 1200 pt planter which probably has the best row unit ever made. I've often contemplated putting that row unit on you frame because they seem simpler in design and not so cluttered. Maybe your speed disk will be the first one of your items to purchase. :)

[@anderswullt6652]

´´get the job done´´ by KINZE

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

I don’t farm. Dont know how to farm but I want a Kinze folding, articulating row planter grain cart switchblade farming implement thing. Maybe even 2. Dunno what I’d do with it could unload and singularte something. Grass clippings maybe. Don’t have a tractor either but my John Deere zero turn has gotta be able to do something other than mow and look cool, right? Lol.

[@taylor11089]

Thanks for that Kinze History. Does Kinze have Factory Tours?

[@KinzeManufacturing]

Yes we do! www.kinze.com/about/factory-tours/

[@mikelessiter8619]

Their museum is outstanding too. Presentation, multimedia and technology rivals most public museums. Give yourself at least 1.5 hours for the museum alone.

[@alancummings5008]

Been to the museum a couple times. Really enjoyed it.

[@robo1210]

Went on a tour up there probably 15 years ago. Need to make the trip back sometime. Definitely a cool place.

[@willjeffery2661]

Not many machinery manufacturer owners or CEOs actually use the equipment themselves. 👍🏻

[@steveortner8021]

Great Company

Cole the Cornstar there towards the end?!

[@daleolson3506]

A smart man.

[@tymuszynski4111]

What i want to know is when will you make a tractor

[@shenpa.8859]

hop that the family owned company will never be consumed by big AG manufacturer, then it will not be farmers first it will be profits first.

[@brandonhickman6658]

I find it interesting that they got screwed over my JD , but use their equipment on their farm.

[@jje8182]

Maybe someday Kinze will be as big of a monopoly as John deere is.

[@RJ1999x]

Knowing how dishonest Deere and Co. Is I'm surprised they'd buy their mediocre products

Romans 3:23 King James Version 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; You need to have godly sorrow for your personal sins that you have done, 2 Corinthians 7:10 King James Version 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. You need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Also, John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Then you need to call upon the Lord and ask him to save you, Romans 10:9-10 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. If you do not get saved you will die in your sins, Revelation 20:15 King James Version 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

To bad they sold out to John Deere

[@kennardjohnson7875]

John deere has stolen countless of other people's hard work and calls it theirs. This ole timer has done more innovation in farming than all others combined.
