Kincaid - Model 8-XP -Single Plot Combines
Kincaid Equipment Mfg., Haven, Kansas is well known for research plot combines and their ability to make custom modifications to suit the specific research application. These combines are designed to meet the needs of research, yet they offer the capacity usually found only in larger machines. Combines are manufactured to specifications, with ISO 9000 world quality control standard.
This machine combines high capacity and rugged, proven construction with excellent cleanout. It can be equipped with a 1.5, 2.0 or 2.3-meter grain table, two-row multi-crop (sunflowers, sorghum, soybeans) or a two-row corn head. Other options include rape extension, pick-up attachments, sunflower pans, air delivery, air return, data collection, sample collection and custom designs for each researcher. With more than 400 of these machines being used in the U.S. and Canada since 1993 (in crops from canola through corn), this plot combine has a proven track record as best in its class.
All major controls are positioned to the right, leaving the left hand free to steer the combine. The controls operate with ease and precision. Cylinder speed, concave clearance, table and reel adjustments can all be selected from the operator’s seat. The three-speed transmission gives control over power and speed with a hydrostatic drive that operates in all three gears.

- Border crops can be harvested at 5-mph with the Kincaid air or paddle delivery system.
- The large 48-bushel capacity grain tank can handle multiple crops with an unloading auger that can reach semi-trailers and large gravity wagons.
