- Jon Kinzenbaw talking about his farming history. The badger dealership. Putting the repower takeouts in 4020 gas tractors, the tractors that he farmed with.
Jon is a wise man he sees the trouble ahead for America if things aren't changed soon. America was built by people like him. Great video totally respect the man and great equipment he produces. ❤👍
😅
😊
When I cross Iowa on I80 and pass by Kinze Mfg 8 get goosebumps and a tear in my eye knowing Jon is the epitome of the American dream.
Wonderful interview with Jon, arguably a man who has contributed more to agriculture than any other single man since Fritz Haber, John Deere, JI Case, Eli Whitney, etc.
Don't forget Harry Ferguson and his three-point rear hitch.
I enjoyed this a lot. HE has a fantastic memory and is a treasure trove of information. So glad you and he did this video. For him to be willing to sit down and talk like this is amazing.
Excellent video, wish there were more people like Jon in the world.
Great interview
Thanks!
I was at John's place 6 or 8 years ago to see his collection. What a great guy.
He has a phenomenal memory and wealth of knowledge.
Great interview, Jon is a man of knowledge. Love to run them two tractors behind him.
Cut my teeth on an 4640 fwa
And an 8630. My first boss was all green. Great equipment
Wonderful interview. I want to visit the museum someday.
I read his book several years ago now. I'd highly recommend it! Very interesting person and story! Its like you got to interview a famous actor, yet few people outside of agriculture have ever heard of him
What's the name of the book?
50 years of disruptive innovation
It was really awesome
Jon seems like a rather selfless man. He farms because people need corn, he repowered tractors because farmers needed reliable tractors to produce corn, he keeps the business going because people rely on those jobs.
I think western civilisation owes a lot to men who never thought they'd be rich but knew that people relied on their work.
An amazing video with an amazing man, Someday I would like to meet John K!
What burns me is the blighted areas in the city that sit and rot while new housing additions and Malls are built on good productive farm land. That needs to stop fast.
Great video. I look forward to these every week. 👍👍
Thanks
I had the opportunity to tour the Kinzie corn planter manufacturing plant, and museum a few years ago. And I would advise anyone, if you get the opportunity to take the plant tour, by all means go for it ! Well worth the experience.
You should get on the list to tour his private collection of equipment. He gives the tour himself. Its something to see. Heads up, its a 2 year waiting list
I love the old case ad in the Farmer magazine. Had the 800 case-0-matic on it& it said we build tractors with tractor engines, not glorified car engines.
Very neat hearing from him.
Great interview as always, ready for the next one , thanks
I like Jon's comment about smaller equipment. I predicted about 20 years ago, we would have lots of small machines run by computers to among other things stop compaction.
Hell you can hardly get some of this stuff down the road, and then the cost is out of sight.
@@danw6014 And imagine if you had small equipment. Young farmers could scale up over time and would not have to immediately be big.
@@greggergen9104 my biggest tractor is a 4020 so I know exactly what you mean. I just get old stuff and refurbish it so it works for me.
Awsome video, We have one of his 4020s with a 4520 engine in it.
That's cool!
Awesome listen, thanks for posting.
Badger Silo unloaders, at least in the early 60's were the worst. They had a single auger and got stuck all the time. We later got some dual auger Van Dales, and they were 5 times better.
Oh and I do love your videos thank you very much
Thank you too!
Great interview again Ryan!
Thanks
Really nice video
In Canada Kinze is not as common but really enjoyed the story a real success story may look for his book
More farmers, automation has come at too high a cost. People need to get dirt under their feet.
Grandpa planted with a oliver 60 and 2 row trip planter ..me and my brother were auto row markers once and a while he holler wrong way boys..
Yep!
Great interview with a true innovator. Your question about the Jake's was something I have thought about for along time. He repowered all those john deeres with 6v53 DD They would work great in flat country like Iowa. But in hilly country with a load she could get away from you real quick. I know this first hand as I have farmed with a 453 powerd Oliver in hilly KY.
Yeah, I can see a place for them
Jon is right on those kids.
Always wondered what happened with those motors that got replaced!
I.ve talked to a few people that have worked for Kinze never heard anything negative about working for them. I've alwats wanted to meet John
If you look up number built. John Deere built over 320,000 model A’s. I styled and styled are not separate models. Same tractor just updated. And the B John Deere was over 300,000 B’s built. So Jon’s statement is untrue that the H alone had higher numbers than the A and B combined. Over 620,000 models built far exceeded the 391,000 or so of the H. Less than total 691,000 of the two wet built of the H and M combined. So IH was already loosing there edge. Not to mention the 2 cylinder JD’s will last 3 to 4 times longer between rebuilds.
The A and the B were both built considerably longer. 34 and 35 to 52. The H and m were only built from 39 to 50 or 51
It would be interesting to hear Jon's opinion on the ride of the 8370RT. The Challenger MT 765 with it's osscilating bogie wheels rode so much smoother. Also the Challenger with the CAT engines and power shift transmissions are nearly bullet-proof..
Great interview. I'm curious about the model replica kinze planter frame on the table. I hope we are getting a new 1/16 model.
I think he just builds them
Back in the day they say they should not have made tractors bigger than a 3 bottom plow size.
I don't know if I would go that far, but things got out of hand
great interview, but an annoying high-pitched whistle sound in background...almost like a dog whistle.
Something with the ventilation in his shop.
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2ok gotcha.
Yeah we got two parties. One sucks and and the other sucks worse.
It's pretty bad that we have a 3020 heading towards 30,000 hours on it and the transmission has never been opened. And a new one can't make 3500 hours.
Deere made it that way $$$.
CVT Transmissions are also bad in automobiles according to Scotty Kilmer.
I would be interested to know how much land he owns now?
I was hoping to hear about how he came up with the hydra-wide plow................I have read about it, but I am sure there would have been some interesting details if he explained it.
Read the book
After watching this I’m convinced John Deere could literally 💩slap a Deere logo on it and Ryan would pay top dollar for it😂
If you are referring to the fact that every row crop tractor today is based off the 8000 series John Deere, I stand by that 100%. If you look up the wasp waist design, you will see how that design, along with the cab layout is what all the row crop tractor designs have went to today. The first sketch is in the Smithsonian museum, so I would say it's significant. I don't understand how some of the John Deere haters get so triggered. If you have watched all these tractor stories you would see that I like most tractors. Once again, heaven forbid anybody say anything good about John Deere.........
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 I thought this was going to be an interview about kinze equipment instead it was you talking non stop about John Deere 🤔
Approximately how many JD 4020 v6 Detroits where built I only seen one
I don't know
I worked in the hyd dept years ago at Kinze mfg I had improved the test stand to be more efficient improved production by the 1000 s got a few dollars for My idea Ha Ha
That's good to hear!
It's just me but if we had or go back to a 30 or 40 cow dairy we would be better off the more bigger equipment has more electrictroncs a better life
Wonder if someone would hack into computer system and cause havoc.
Which one 😂😂😂😂 1:00:06
Don’t agree about the 8000 series Deere the ford genesis was the leader for all the tractor of today.
No. The transmission is a funk transmission, owned by Deere at the time. The control and dash placement is nothing like today's corner post displays. That's something New Holland started with the TG. Super steer was never used by anyone else. The wasp waist design of the 8000 made it obsolete. The wasp waist design is in the Smithsonian
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2regardless the genesis is a work of art and a joy to operate and I have operated a lot of tractors
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 you ever drive one?
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 just saying no one built a tractor that advanced before.
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 John Deere bought funk after ford had already been in the development phase and used them in the 8630 8730 and 8830 tractors
Ugh! Massive video fail. I couldn't listen to this. Very disappointing, I enjoy Jon's story's
😆 I bet you are just a wonderful person.......
