context_page_description: Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. is an American company that produces agricultural equipment.
  It was established in 1965 by Jon Kinzenbaw in Ladora, Iowa and later relocated to nearby Williamsburg, Iowa. Kinze began by manufacturing many types of agricultural implements. It began to grow quickly by seizing an opportunity to 'repower' John Deere tractors by replacing the OEM engine with a Detroit Diesel engine during a time when Deere was experiencing problems with engine production. Starting with a metal fabrication and repair shop, Kinzenbaw moved into the production of auger wagons and fertilizer applicators. Today, Kinze's main operations are manufacturing row-crop planting equipment up to 36 rows and grain carts up to 1500 bushels. Kinze was a pioneer in the development of the folding equipment and invented the front fold and the rear fold planter. Their planters are some of the most popular currently in use.
  Today Kinze is a leading manufacturer of row crop planters and giant grain auger carts and one of North America's largest independently owned farm equipment companies.
  The Kinze factory is located north of Interstate 80 west of Williamsburg, IA.
