KATS Company
Innovator Mark Wilson of the KATS Company builds single and double-row planters along with other specialized equipment. His single row 3-pt. hitch planter features a 7000 Deere row unit mounted onto a 3-pt. hitch frame. It’s available with a Cat 0, I or II hitch, operates with a self-contained dual wheel drive system and is set to plant at 29,000 seeds per acre. Other populations are available on the unit, which is priced at $995 plus freight. A two row 3-pt. model is available for $1,395.
  Wilson also produces a single-row unit no-till planter, with a larger frame that can be weighted to help the no-till coulter penetrate the soil. This unit sells for $1,395 plus freight. For producers who don’t have a tractor with a 3-pt., Wilson builds the single-row unit mounted on 2 wheels with a hitch and a cable-type lift. This unit also sells for $1,395. The same cart setup with an actuator lift that operates with 12-volt battery power is also available. Call for pricing.
  The company also builds a hydraulic dump kit for a Deere MC519 material collection system. Wilson says it’s easy to install into a new or used cart without modifying the frame. Cost is $395 plus shipping. A similar power dump kit is available for the older 1993 through 2004 4 by 2 and 6 by 4 Deere Gators. Cost is $495 plus shipping.
