Kuhn’s latest mixer wagons fills model gap

KUHN’s latest Profile M series of mixer wagons fills the gap between its Profile S and L range of trailed machines

Fitting neatly between the narrow and wide-bodied machines and aimed at medium sized farms, the M series will be produced from 2023 onwards in five mixing capacities from 16 to 25 cubic metres

The 20 cubic metres capacity machine has an overall height of less than three metres, making it well suited to housing with lower access

The largest machine in the range at 25 cubic metres can feed 200 cows in a single pass, making it perfectly positioned for the average UK dairy herd, which is estimated at 212

Two feed out options are available, a cross conveyor in the CM model can be positioned at the front of the machine, and a chute or tilting slide conveyor is offered on the DM models

Plus models are specified with a straw-blowing turbine capable of blowing 158kgs of straw up to 18 metres per minute and all models can be upgraded by adding a selection of tub extensions

All models in the range feature Kuhn’s patented five-load cell weighing system that is well suited to both small and full-load mixtures This is coupled to Kuhn’s unique C-Drive system, which, with a 1 10 metre distribution door, offers fast and well-balanced distribution of forage.

The twin augers can be specified with Kuhn’s long-life K-Nox coating This increases the life of the auger by up to six times by acting as a corrosion resistant layer to protect against the abrasion of acidic silica contained in forage

For farms looking to distribute forage into troughs or raised feeders, Flexilift can be specified This tilting cross conveyor will distribute forage evenly and does not protrude from the body of the mixer wagon
