Harvest is in the bin. The machines are resting in the shed. The cold has settled over frost-covered ground, which won’t be frozen forever. When winter turns a corner toward spring, it’s time to think about planting. Now is the perfect time to take stock of your equipment and consider replacing that old planter that’s limped along through the last few seasons.

Better start now, because there’s a lot to look at. Case IH has several new planters on the market, as does Horsch, Kinze and Great Plains Ag to name a few. To help you get a jump-start, Farm Progress editors have compiled the latest machines in this slideshow.
