Kuhn Farm Machinery has expanded its Prolander cultivator range with three wider models.
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.
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,” Fanshawe said. “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 90x13mm S-tooth is ideal for ‘tearing’ stubbles to guarantee a complete mix of surface material. Existing tine options are available, including the 70x12mm S shaped tine and 60mm or 200mm goose foot tines. Double U or Double Tube rollers can be specified to suit user requirements
The five smaller Prolander 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. Seeding options for the new larger models include Kuhn’s TF 1512 front tank.
Starting price for the 9m Prolander 9000 is £83,000.
