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 .
