KUHN Farm Machinery has expanded its versatile Prolander cultivator range with three wider models suited to farmer and contractors requiring a high output machine for a variety of soil conditions.

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. 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.
