Kuhn's new CSC6000 power harrow and drill combination with the TF1500 front hopper.

Previously seen in the UK only as a prototype, Kuhn's new CSC6000 power harrow and drill combination, with TF1500 front hopper, offers larger arable farmers and contractors a flexible, high-work-rate pneumatic seeding option.

    This 6m model, which incorporates the HR6004DR folding power harrow and Venta pneumatic seeding facility, is suitable for operating on min-tilled or tilled land. Kuhn has included its new Seedflex coulter bar, which is fitted with offset double discs on a parallelogram and large diameter press wheels, and is capable of a coulter pressure of up to 45kg/unit to ensure consistent seeding depth at high speeds.
    The new TF1500 front hopper has a maximum capacity of 2,000 litres, yet has a low filling height and ensures good visibility in work. This front hopper can be used on Kuhn drills from 3-6m and can also be used for fertiliser with precision drills.
    Electronic control for the CSC6000 is provided by the Quantron S control box and an electrically driven metering unit. This equipment makes it possible for the user to adjust the application rate, to anticipate the rotation of the metering unit at the beginning of the field, and to store up to 200 sets of data including the variety sown, the application rate, the seeding date and so on.
