Kinze Manufacturing company history timeline

1965

In 1965, my father Jon Kinzenbaw started a small welding and repair shop in Ladora, Iowa.

1971

In 1971, Kinze introduced their first 435-bushel two-wheel grain auger cart.

His first major innovation: the first-ever single axle, low-profile grain cart (with giant high-flotation tires), designed and built in 1971.

1974

Visitors are invited to view a variety of exhibits and displays, including the very first grain cart, after which all of Kinze's other carts are modeled, and experience firsthand "Big Blue," Kinzenbaw's signature tractor that pulled his original moldboard plow at the 1974 Farm Progress Show.

1975

Kinzenbaw said he first developed the folding planter in 1975 at the urging of local farmers, who wondered why a planter couldn’t be “folded up."

The event that really changed Kinze, and farming, was a conversation Jon had with farmers in 1975.

1976

In 1976, Kinze moved to their current location in Williamsburg, Iowa to begin their next chapter in innovation.
