KUHN focuses on feeding and bedding efficiency at
The Dairy Show
KUHN Farm Machinery were focusing on feeding and
bedding efficiency at this year’s Dairy Show at the Bath
and West Showground, Shepton Mallet on 4th October,
with the recently launched PRIMOR 15070 M large
capacity trailed feeder and straw blower on display.

feeder and straw
blower is large
enough to take up
to four 1.30 x 1.20
x 2.70 metre rectangular bales or
three round bales up to 2 metres
in diameter. It can be configured
according to the layout of farm
buildings, with a side or
multidirectional distribution chute
(GL or GP model variant) enabling
straw to be blown to the left or
right.
Two powerful intake rotors feed
the turbine with a beam of six
hydraulic tines above the feed
rotors enabling intake settings to

be adjusted and regulated
according to the type of product
being used. The turbine itself can
blow up to 18 metres to the right
and is fitted with eight bolt-on
blades for pneumatic fodder
separation.
The PRIMOR 15070 M has the
option of KUHN’s hydraulic unroll
system to clamp subsequent
round bales in place and stop
them from rotating while the first
bale is being fed through. It is also
equipped with an hydraulic tailgate
with a 1.2 tonne lifting capacity for
self-loading round bales. The floor
of the body is fitted with a 14mm
diameter chain conveyor with an
optional boost floor available to
provide extra feed conveyor torque
for the distribution of heavier
products such as grass silage.
In common with existing
machines in the PRIMOR range,
the 15070 M uses KUHN’s
disengageable belt driven
POLYDRIVE clutch system to drive
two feed rotors which are
equipped with 34 cutting sections
for ultimate control over cutting
length and intensity: all PRIMOR
machines are capable of feeding
all types of feedstuffs including
straw, silage and haylage.
Wessex BFR-180 modular feeding & bedding system
Designed and manufactured in our Hampshire UK factory, the Wessex BFR-180 (patent pending) is a modular feeding
and bedding system that can be a configured as a bale feeder (mode 1), a bale feeder with an extension chute (mode
3), or a straw spreader and bale feeder combination (mode 2).
he BFR-180 only
requires one
tractor or
telehandler to
operate, and the
maintenance is
very low with only four grease
points and no electrics!

Mode 1 - BFR-180 ROUND BALE
FEEDER
As a bale feeder, it can feed
round bales of hay, haylage, straw
and silage from either side with
ease. Featuring massive 5.5ton
rated chains with zinc-plated
T
crossbars and a high spec
Danfoss hydraulic motor, the BFR-
180 is a very reliable, seriously
durable bale feeder that is simple
to use and very easy to maintain.
• REQUIRES ONE DOUBLE
ACTING HYDRAULIC SPOOL
Mode 2 - BFR-180 ROUND BALE
FEEDER & CROSSFIRE STRAW
SPREADER
With the innovative Crossfire
straw spreader attached, bedding
and feeding tasks can be
undertaken with the same
machine, bed from one side and
feed off the other.
The Wessex Crossfire straw
spreader is unlike conventional

straw choppers as it spreads the
straw in its baled length, with
minimal dust and projectiles, and
up to ten metres. Straw choppers
are renowned for creating
excessive dust, which in an
enclosed environment can be a
serious threat to the health of the
stock. Chopping bedding straw
also reduces its effective life span
within the bedding area.
• REQUIRES ONE DOUBLE
ACTING HYDRAULIC SPOOL
Mode 3 - SIDEWINDER EXTENSION
CHUTE
The Wessex Sidewinder is an
extension conveyor that attaches
to the BFR-180 for high level
feeding into a trough or manger.
The Sidewinder extends to the left
leaving the right free to feed or
alternatively bed with the Crossfire
straw spreader attached.
• REQUIRES TWO DOUBLE
ACTING HYDRAULIC SPOOLS,
OR ONE DOUBLE ACTING WITH
DIVERTER VALVE
Mode – 3 OR A COMBINATION OF
ALL 3 MODES
Feed into a trough or manger
and bed straw with the same
machine.
• REQUIRES TWO DOUBLE
ACTING HYDRAULIC SPOOLS,
OR ONE DOUBLE ACTING
WITH DIVERTER VALVE
