KRM to introduce two new models at LAMMA 2025
25th November 2024
The K110 trailed lime and fertiliser spreader and the 6000/75/8 driven strip still cultivator will make their debut in Birmingham this January.
The new K110 model is the latest addition to the company’s range of lime and fertiliser spreaders. This tandem axle model bridges the gap between the largest single axle machine, the K105, and the smallest tandem axle machine, the K135.
This new model features the same design of floor belt and spreading system as the rest of the K series range, making it capable of applying a wide variety of materials including lime, fibrophos, chalk, sand, and all grades of fertiliser.
The K110 has a capacity of 9m3, which equates to approx 9t of fertiliser or 14t of lime. The machine comes as standard with Isobus Auto Rate Control and the company’s lime spreading setup. All the usual extras are available, so operators can tailor the machine to their specific requirements, these include: Weigh cells, fertiliser kit, hopper cover, hopper extension, various tyre options, stainless-steel hopper, and many more.
KRM is expanding its range of powered strip till cultivators with the introduction of a new 6m machine. Designated the 6000/750/8, the new model is built to till eight rows at 75cm spacings in one pass.
With up to 70% of the soil surface remaining untouched, cover crops or a grass sward can be left in place and the surface can be maintained for subsequent operations such as maize harvest. Further benefits include power, fuel and wearing metal not being consumed unnecessarily.
The Strip Till creates strips of worked soil ready for planting. A leading tine breaks the soil surface; this is followed by driven rotavator blades which create a fine tilth to a depth of between 15 and 25cm depending on crop requirements; finally, a segmented roller consolidates the strip ready for planting. Solid or liquid fertiliser can be applied at the same time.
The new model joins the two existing models in the range, the 3000/750/4, as its designation suggests, has 4 rows at 750mm centres – the common spacing for fodder maize. And the 3000/500/6, which has six rows at 500mm centres, which is more commonly used for energy crop production and sugar beet.
KRM will be exhibiting the new K110 and the new Strip Till at LAMMA in January 2025.
Stand number: Hall 18, Stand 470.
