Kuhn launches a seeder whose distance between bodies can be adjusted from the tractor
March 6, 2009
Among the myriad of equipment exhibited by the firm Kuhn at Sima 2009 highlighted the new seeder monograin Maxima 2 TI, which, according to Lafuente, offers the possibility of changing the distance between the bodies of auto shape from the tractor. Thus, this distance can change of 5 in 5 centimeters, from 45 up to 80 centimeters, hydraulically using a lever mounted on the tractor.
This team has two new chassis: a chassis (h) in the whole of the chassis monobarra and folding, that facilitates the adjustment between lines, and a telescopic chassis front wheels 26 x 12 which improves work in stony conditions. A Union hook /chasis for flange system and therefore without welds in the chassis, which more easily adapt the configuration of the seeder to the tractor.
In addition, it has two turbines with protection of air in steel according to the models, which allow a pressure regulation in all lines. Another feature is the addition of a new fertilization with a new gear box which has a range which covers a maximum of uses (75 to 300 kg for a separation of 75 centimeters). It also has a new distribution with flexible grooves in polyurethane that limit the abrasion caused by the payment, and a new GF hopper with a capacity of 950 litres. Finally, include the new rear rollers, rubber of 2.5 centimeters more separated allowing greater pressure to the ground; some rear rollers in steel, toothed or smooth, version with a double seam of bearings for greater reliability; a new lever of adjustment of the angle of attack of the rollers in HD version, which further facilitates adjustments; and new limpiabarros in polyurethane limited wear under difficult conditions.
Other developments
Other developments in outstanding in the space of Kuhn in the pageant were the Rotary stands of series 104-1004 and folding 1004, equipped with arms of lateral deflectors reinforced for greater resistance to shock caused by shocks against rocks. The walls of the deflectors are coated for a perfectly level seed bed. In addition, they offer greater convenience for the adjustment of the deflectors; highest insert easels with some drawn models; new end covers for folding machines from 4 to 5 meters, and the possibility of giving a part of the range with the new Steelliner rollers.
The stand of Kuhn also benefited from the hard shoulder RSM mowers, designed for use in low power tractors and declined in widths of 1.80 metres. These mowers have been developed for works such as the maintenance of the road verges, the edges of plots or the maintenance of the enyerbadas surfaces.
Another novelty was the seeder with teeth Megant with rear roller. The particular design of this roller is the juxtaposition of individual wheels, which offers the user a better contact of the seed with soil with preferential support from the line, and the possibility of using the seeder on very hilly terrain. In addition, the flow of Earth passes better through the individual wheels thus reducing the power absorbed and therefore also the consumption of fuel.
