You'll get the boxes on a Kinze if the blonde happens to be on the other side of the street :)

Speaking for myself we looked at a CIH/CNH what ever you want to call it planter. I'll grant you they have the best row units of any, but the central boxes didn't hold enough and it would have been hard to put extra liquid capacity on. With the Kinze we could put it on the bar, with the JD we could pull a big tank, with the IH there was no room on the front for it if you put the central fill on and the way it pivoted there was no way to pull it behind without unhooking between each field.

There was also this problem with resale. Around here owning a big CNH planter would have been like having a Studebaker dealership with the lot full. We actually did price one, they were really proud of it. Highest of the three that we actually sat down and spec'd out so that we were comparing apples to apples.
