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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Families and companies like this are what makes America great.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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!

This is what YouTube 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.

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

[acleanutah]

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

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