Cultivator range expands with three wider models
12th September 2024
Kuhn’s new cultivators bring the Prolander range up to eight models – they can work in a variety of conditions and allow larger growers to benefit from the range.
Three new Prolander cultivators have been added to Kuhn’s increasingly popular range, offering farmers and contractors a high output machine for a variety of soil conditions – and increasing the appeal for growers looking to complete a wide range of operations, Kuhn says.
The three models – 9000, 12000 and 14000 – offer working widths of 9.2m, 12.2m and 14.2m respectively, which will suit users operating controlled traffic systems.
The new models take the Prolander range to eight, offering a versatile stubble cultivator capable of working a range of seedbeds, including ploughed, cultivated or stubble, the manufacturer shares.
Edd Fanshawe, Kuhn’s arable and connected services product specialist, says the new models allow larger growers to benefit from the Prolander.
“The Prolander has grown in popularity over recent seasons due to its versatility and ease of use. The wider models increase the appeal for growers requiring a tine cultivator capable of a wide range of operations, and with a modest power requirement of 25–35hp/m.”
Working depths of 3–12cm are possible across the Prolander range and a new 90 x 13mm S-tooth is ideal for ‘tearing’ stubbles to guarantee a complete mix of surface material.
Existing tine options are available, including the 70 x 12mm S-shaped tine and 60mm or 200mm goose foot tines. Double U or Double Tube rollers can be specified to suit user requirements.
A smaller Prolander 6000 model, featuring a distribution head fed by a TF front tank with seeding outlets behind the tines, will be on display and available for demo at this year’s Tillage-Live.
The five existing models, from 4m to 7.5m, are now available with the SH 600 – a 600-litre hopper designed to sow cover crops and small seeds in a one-pass system, Kuhn concludes.
