Kuhn has filled the gap between its Profile S and L range of trailed mixer wagons with the Profile M series. Fitting 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 25m³.
The 20m³ capacity machine has an overall height of less than 3 metres, making it well suited to housing with lower access. The largest machine in the range at 25m³ can feed 200 cows in a single pass, making it perfectly positioned for the average 212-cow UK dairy herd.
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 158kg 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 5 load cell weighing system that is well suited to both small and full-load mixtures. This is coupled to Kuhn’s C-Drive system which, with a 1.10m 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.
