A new solution designed to simplify strip-till adoption, improve planter-to-strip alignment, and support targeted nutrient placement
WILLIAMSBURG, Iowa (June 23, 2026) — Kinze Manufacturing, in partnership with Yetter Manufacturing, today announced the launch of the Falcon SF700™, a product lineup designed to help growers transition into strip-till practices with greater confidence, operational simplicity, and exceptional performance.
Built around the proven Kinze 5700 toolbar platform and integrated with Yetter 2984 Strip Freshener CC row unit technology, the Falcon SF700 is designed to create an ideal seedbed environment while maintaining residue between rows and supporting precise nutrient placement.
“Strip-till continues to gain momentum as growers look for ways to improve efficiency, preserve soil structure, and optimize nutrient placement,” said Susanne Kinzenbaw Veatch, President, Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. “The Falcon SF700 combines Kinze toolbar performance and planter system integration with Yetter’s proven strip-till expertise to deliver a system purpose-built for today’s high-performing operations.”
With multiple width and spacing configurations, the Falcon SF700 is engineered to serve as the foundation of a strip-till system. Its Strip Freshener CC performs low-disturbance tillage, enabling growers to create precise, consistent planting zones while maintaining the agronomic and conservation benefits that define strip-till practices.
The partnership between Kinze and Yetter brings together two complementary areas of expertise:
- Kinze contributes the proven 5700 toolbar platform, weight transfer system, flotation, narrow transport design, planter integration experience, and operational familiarity growers already trust.
- Yetter contributes its proven Strip -Freshener CC row unit technology and decades of strip-till agronomic expertise.
The result of this collaboration is a precise strip-till lineup engineered to help growers:
- Improve planter-to-strip alignment
- Support precision nutrient placement
- Maintain residue management between rows
- Create a consistent planting environment
- Simplify strip-till operation
- Transition to strip-till with greater confidence
The launch comes as strip-till adoption continues to expand across the Corn Belt and the broader conservation tillage market. According to the 2026 Strip-Till Farmer Benchmark Report, the average corn yields reported for 2025 by strip-till growers outperformed the yield averages of all other tillage approaches surveyed.
The Yetter Strip Freshener CC units incorporated into the Falcon SF700 have proven success at operating speeds of 6–10 mph, depending on field conditions and setup. They also feature parallel linkage, optional fertilizer placement, and from-the-cab control for quick adjustments to row cleaners, rolling baskets, and row unit down pressure.
The Falcon SF700 was designed with grower usability and dealer support in mind, including:
- Familiar Kinze toolbar operation
- Matched planter and strip configurations
- Reduced operational complexity
- Precision guidance compatibility
- Simplified transport and setup
- 20″, 22″, and 30″ row configurations
- Toolbar sizes from 40′ to 66′
“Yetter believes strip-till offers meaningful soil health and ROI advantages, and that simplifying adoption is key to helping growers realize those benefits. The Falcon SF700 makes strip-till systems easier to integrate into the way growers already farm,” said Yetter Strip-Till Product Director Andy Thompson. “By combining Yetter Strip Freshener CC technology with Kinze’s toolbar platform and planter expertise, we’re helping growers create accurate strips and a more consistent planting environment.”
The Falcon SF700 will officially debut during Kinze Product Innovation Day on June 23, followed by dealer engagement programs, grower education initiatives, and field demonstration opportunities throughout the season.
