Mixer wagon with integrated bedding system offers dual-purpose versatility for Scottish livestock farmers
KUHN Farm Machinery will be displaying a new range of dual-purpose TMR mixer and bedding wagons at this year’s AgriScot show which takes place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh on Wednesday 18 November 2015.
The KUHN PROFILE PLUS range of twin-auger TMR mixer wagons consists of four different models, all of which feature an integrated bedding system for added machine versatility.
All four models feature a narrow body design to make them compatible with old and new farm buildings and feature a number of the same benefits as seen on the standard PROFILE 70 series of vertical auger mixer wagons.
These include a low loading height, compact external dimensions (the 15m3 model is just 2.42m wide and 2.83m high), right or left feed discharge door and a three-point electronic weighing system as standard. The PROFILE PLUS range also features a front mounted straw-blowing turbine driven by KUHN’s patented POLYDRIVE system enabling it to throw 600kg of bedding material to a distance of 18 metres in just 4.5 minutes.
Available in capacities of 15, 16, 18 and 20m3, PROFILE PLUS wagons use two independent vertical augers to accurately and quickly mix a range of feedstuffs, with adjustable counter-knives giving the ability to cut fibrous material to a pre-determined length. The small diameter augers reduce the range’s power requirement, with the 15m3 PROFILE PLUS 1570 compatible with 80hp tractors.
The straw output door uses KUHN’s asymmetric VENTIDRIVE design to optimise output flow and to ensure an even application of bedding materials.
A tilting feed conveyor and swivelling straw-blowing chutes are available as optional extras.
“The PROFILE PLUS range shares many of the features found on our established range of EUROMIX wagons,” explains Duncan McLeish, KUHN’s UK Sales Manager. “Key features such as the adjustable counter-knives, electronic weighing system and customisable feed-out options enable cows to be fed consistently and accurately, while the integrated straw-blower adds to the range’s overall versatility and value for money, making the PROFILE PLUS perfect for the majority of modern dairy and beef farming enterprises.”
