Kincaid Seed Planters and Seed Drills

Standard Research Planter

Since Monosem is known all over the world for seed spacing and singulation, our planters start with a commercial Monosem planter. Then we add the critical parts that transform it into the plot planter it is without sacrificing the reliability of the original.

Features

The Standard Research Planter utilizes a durable 7×7 toolbar that allows commercial options to be added, from residue managers to fertilizer. We have developed an industry-leading platform assembly that will provide years of reliable service.

Runabout Planter

The Runabout Planter is a compact two-row planter that is three-point mounted. It is economical and easy to maneuver for filling in standard to small plots.

Features

The Runabout Planter is a two-row planter that weighs roughly 1,500 pounds and is excellent for small research plots or small acreages. It has a small, comfortable operator platform but still comes with the functions of a standard planter.

Flex Research Planter

Customers asked for a more versatile row spacing research plot planter, and we have delivered with the Flex Research Planter configuration.

Features

The Flex Research Planter is the most versatile research planter in the industry and can vary row spacing from 7 1/2 inches to 40 inches with 1/2-inch increments. The Flex Research Planter uses the standard Monosem NG planter units and is available in Classic, Classic Aire, Advanced+ or Step 4 type control systems.

Ultra-Narrow Planter

As the only narrow planter on the market, the Ultra-Narrow Planter is a multifunctional piece of equipment that can be used as a planter, drill or seeder. The advantage of this planter is that it uses a seed meter for extreme precision.

Features

The Ultra-Narrow Planter was designed from many requests for precise seed spacing on 7 1/2-inch row spacing and up. This planter uses the standard Monosem row units and our sure plant covers to bring the precision you already know down to 7 1/2-inch row spacing. This planter gives you more control on seed spacing over a drill.

Mini Seed (MS) Planter

As the only vegetable planter on the market, the MS Planter can plant a wide variety of small seeds. The Monosem MS planter is the standard for commercial vegetable seed planting, and we transformed it for your plot planting needs.

Features

The MS Planter has five available models. Combining these versions with a control package gives you the precision planter you need.

Drill Planter

We revolutionized the vacuum planter market with the best performance in the industry. Our Drill Planter follows the principles of simple performance. Our controls and multiple opener options make these drills able to plant any of your plots that need a drill. We have a patent-pending on its ability to offset row units and alleyways still lined up.

Features

The Drill Planter comes standard with Great Plains double-disc, no-till openers, but other openers are available upon request, including the John Deere 90 Series opener for extreme compact soil conditions. The Drill Planter uses the latest technology to eliminate the need for complicated transmissions to get your desired plot length. The Drill Planter uses the new belt cone and distributor system. The Belt Cone is able to trip automatically by ground distance or by using the GPM Universal Planter Module from us.

Belt Cone Planter

Breathe new life into your old cone planter or drill with our Belt Cone Planter. It uses an electric motor that allows it to be located almost anywhere. It’s also used on new cone planters and drills.

Features

The Belt Cone Planter eliminated transmissions and has made cone planting easy. With the use of electric motors and easy-to-use software, all you have to do is input your plot length and start planting. The output of the cone can be single or coupled with our spinner divider for multiple outlets. This system can be tripped manually, by cable, GPS or encoder.
