Machinery HUGE ARRAY OF KUHN KIT AT TILLAGE 2017 » » KUHN FARM MACHINERY WILL BE displaying a wide range of cultivation equipment at this year’s Tillage event on 14th September, with everything from ploughs and minimum tillage machines to deep cultivators and combination drills on show. The following KUHN machines, amongst others, were on display: PROLANDER – MINIMUM TILLAGE CULTIVATOR Available in two working widths, the PROLANDER 6000 (6.0m) and PROLANDER 7500 (7.5m) feature five rows of tines mounted on a high clearance frame. Both machines are designed for a range of minimum tillage cultivation purposes: from second pass seedbed preparation to shallow stubble cultivation. The PROLANDER series is fitted as standard with hydraulically adjustable forward mounted support wheels and a hydraulically adjustable rear levelling board. A choice of front and rear rollers can also be selected, thereby enabling users to customise their machine to suit specific soil and cropping conditions. An optional hydraulic front levelling board is also available for work on pre-ploughed land. Both models fold to a width of 2.83 metres for easy transportation purposes and feature five rows of tines (39 tines on the PROLANDER 6000, 49 tines on the PROLANDER 7500). PERFORMER – NON-POWERED DEEP TINE-DISC CULTIVATOR The PERFORMER is KUHN’s most popular range of non-powered cultivators. Currently available in 3 to 7 metre versions, the PERFORMER can be operated in a) disc, tine and roller, b) disc and roller, c) tine and roller, d) disc only, or e) tine only formats. The PERFORMER comprises twin disc gangs (10cm working depth), four rows of tines (35cm working depth), levelling discs and a 700mm diameter HD-Liner roller. The disc gangs function independently of each other and comprise ESPRO – MINIMUM TILLAGE SEED DRILL Capable of being pulled by a 200 hp tractor and drilling accurately at forward working speeds of up to 17km/h, the 6 metre KUHN ESPRO offers high levels of productivity and drilling accuracy without the need to invest in ultra-high power tractors. VARI-CHALLENGER – SEMI- MOUNTED PLOUGHS The 7 to 10 body VARI-CHALLENGER range is designed for medium to high- powered tractors (170 to 540 hp) and, thanks to a number of design features, sets a new standard in the field of semi- mounted, variable width ploughs with rear body lift. VARI-CHALLENGER ploughs can also be equipped with an on-land kit as an option: in-furrow ploughing is also possible with the on-land system for when ground conditions get difficult. merlouk THE ALL NEW MERLO RANGE NOW ON 0% APR MERLO 27.6 MERLO TF33.7 MERLO 35.7 MERLO TF42.7 MERLO TF50.8 MULTIFARMER 4T THE MERLO 2 YEAR WARRANTY * WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD IT’S YOUR MERLO WORLD WE CAN HANDLE IT BETTER CUMBRIA YORK NORTHALLERTON CT HAYTON LTD YORKSHIRE HANDLERS BRM (BRIAN ROBINSON MACHINERY) Kendal Depot – Tel [phone] Wigton Depot – Tel [phone] [email protected] www.cthayton.com Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.yorkshirehandlers.co.uk Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.brmltd.co.uk www.merlo.co.uk *Terms and conditions apply. 0% finance available on selected models only.
