NEW KUHN TWIN-DISC TRAILED SPREADER TO LAUNCH AT LAMMA

»»
KUHN FARM MACHINERY IS to launch a new, high capacity trailed fertiliser spreader at LAMMA on 18thJanuary 2017. Aimed at large scale arable and grassland operations, the new AXENT 100.1 uses two spreading modules( one for granular products and a second for powdered material) and is the first trailed machine to offer variable rate spreading and automatic section control.
The AXENT 100.1 is capable of spreading a wide range of granular, pelleted or powdered fertilisers and soil conditioner products thanks to its interchangeable AXIS PowerPack and LIME PowerPack spreading modules.
The hydraulically driven AXIS PowerPack uses the
same technology as KUHN’ s established AXIS range of twin disc spreaders to precisely spread granular fertilisers across working widths of 18 to 50m. The AXIS PowerPack module uses KUHN’ s EMC( Electronic Mass Control) system to continuously adjust the spreading rate across the machine’ s entire width: this is achieved by constantly measuring the torque on each spreading disc and adjusting the flow rate on a second-bysecond
basis to ensure ultimate spreading accuracy.
The AXENT 100.1 has a hopper capacity of 9,400 litres and uses an 800mm conveyor to feed the spreading module. The AXENT can be fitted with a steering axle to prevent crop damage and to ensure improved handling on sloping terrain. It can also be specified with four weigh cells to improve spreading calibration.
The AXENT 100.1 retails from £ 93,657.
KUHN will also be using January’ s LAMMA show to display its upgraded DELTIS mounted crop sprayer: with a new chassis, tank and valve system, the DELTIS 2 is a simple, yet reliable and effective option for small to medium scale arable operations.
The new machine replaces the original DELTIS range and features a number of significant upgrades.
