KUHN trailed sprayer models are designed to move quickly across crops and disperse product with a precision target approach
For busy farm growing enterprises, the quality and accuracy of spraying machinery has become more crucial than ever to ensure that crops are protected durably and sustainably.
With trailed, mounted, and front tank spraying models available, KUHN’s range of spraying equipment can guarantee maximum crop protection, and at reduced application costs.
Two of KUHN’s trailed sprayer ranges, the METRIS 2 and LEXIS models are known for their compact design and efficiency combined with precision spraying, are available to order now.
For more than 30 years, KUHN have been manufacturing booms using aluminium, due to its natural resistances to corrosion and chemical aggression.
These booms offer the strength of build levels but come with a weight advantage that is almost three times less than steel.
Both the Metris 2 and Lexis machines are equipped with aluminum booms, resulting in lightweight machines that remains unaffected by corrosion when they come into contact with fertilisers, crop protection products or other chemicals.
KUHN Metris 2 models are designed for ultimate stability with the boom integrated into the overall tank design and able to fold into three sections
KUHN METRIS 2 sprayers
Metris 2 models are at the heart of KUHN’s sprayer range, available in 3200 to 4100-litre capacities, they offer a coverage from 18 to 36 metres with current design aluminium bi-fold booms.
Designed for stability, the Metris 2 booms are integrated into the overall tank design, and fold into three sections.
This compact design is able to limit the overall height when the boom is folded, to allow for efficient transport.
The short length of the Metris ensures flexible manoeuvring and improves tracking, making it easier to enter the paddock and reverse in paddock corners. This also limits any crop damage.
Maintaining machine stability is crucial to keep the boom as close as possible to the target.
With the drawbar and axle suspension using Strathane pads, all movements are absorbed when travelling over uneven terrain in paddocks and during transportation on the road.
A suspended axle improves the machine’s service life, and ensures stable, precise spraying.
The Metris 2 has four levels of suspension, ensuring operators can keep their machine stable and suspended at all times with the effect of smoothing out uneven terrain.
KUHN Lexis sprayers are ideal for smaller multi-crop and grain type operations where manoureability is important
KUHN LEXIS sprayers
For smaller, multi-crop and grain type operations, Lexis spraying models are available in 2400 and 3000-litre capacities. With boom options of 18 to 24 metres in either steel or aluminium bi-folds.
Lexis is the perfect model for entry level spraying requirements, offering all the key functions farm operations need to protect crops effectively.
Similar to the Metris 2 range, the Lexis’ tank is designed to incorporate the booms into the machines overall outline.
And with a short hitch-to-axle length of just 4 metres and a height of 3 metres, the Lexis models are highly compact.
Both Metris 2 and Lexis models are equipped with simple, easy to use operator stations.
The manual MANUSET operation offers complete control of all sprayer functions from a centralised station, while the DILUSET+ operation means rinsing functions can also be performed from inside the tractor cab.
Operators can choose to rinse the sprayer, or the boom only, through an easy to use terminal while inside the tractor cab.
Simply indicate the type of rinsing required, and the automatic rinsing system will take care of the rest.
The terminal can also display the volume remaining in the tank in real-time throughout the entire spraying operation.
KUHN’s wide range of trailed, mounted and front tank sprayers allows farm operations to protect their crops on all levels, with a model designed to suit their requirements.
Whether it’s grain or multi-crop production, precision spraying is guaranteed with KUHN’s compact designs, and simple to use operator systems.
