We run a 12 row 30" planter for corn and a 24 row 15" planter for beans but we've got less money in both of them than a new Kinze would cost. The thing with the Kinze's is that they hold their value so well that I know several guys who will buy a new one then trade it in on another new one after two years for about $2/acre and usually they will need enough work by then that it's actually just as cheap to trade for a new one as it would be to rebuild the old one. If everything goes good we can plant 300-400 acres a day but even at 300 acres a day it would take a full week to get our crop in and most years we start loosing yield if we take longer than that to plant. I would love to be able to make a living farming a few hundred acres but as a young farmer starting out with a fair amount of debt it takes alot of acres to keep the banker happy.
