French manufacturer Kuhn has released details of its new self-propelled, autonomous diet feeder capable of feeding 280 cows, after heading to the clamp then loading and mixing up to three cubic metres of ingredients.
While baler-wrapper combinations have become the backbone of baled silage production, one machine stands out from the rest in the layout of the machine.
Kuhn says it has updated its MDS range of fertiliser spreaders, which offer farmers more options and provide machines that can be upgraded as their farming situation changes – without the need to buy a whole new spreader.
Said to be the widest mower produced to date by Kuhn, the recently announced FC 13460RA, when used in conjunction with a FC3125DF or FC 3525DF front mower unit, offers a variable working width of 12.4 to 13.4 metres.
Harvesting specialist Kuhn has introduced a new disc mower/conditioner with swath grouper, the FC 9330 RA.
Machines with wider working widths have become a lot more common on the farm, particularly in the grass and hay production arena, where oversized rakes and tedders have helped to increase daily output dramatically.
Kuhn has extended its range of independent disc stubble cultivators with the addition of the high capacity Optimer L Series.
While still a rare sight in New Zealand, self-propelled diet feeders/mixers have been widely available in the northern hemisphere for many years.
Kuhn has updated its MDS range of fertiliser spreaders, giving farmers more options to upgrade machines as situations change, rather than having to change to a new machine.
Grassland specialists Kuhn has announced a raft of technological updates to its forage and straw baling equipment, designed to improve control of product quality and/or operational efficiency.
