Kuhn’s new Metris trailed sprayers, with 3,200 or 4,100 litre tank capacities and boom width options from 18-36m, were shown at Sima 2013 as the newest entry into the Kuhn range.
Sitting between the established Grand Large and Oceanis models, the new Metris machinesshare many of the beneficial features seen on Kuhn’s sprayers that the company has been developing since the acquisition of Blanchard by the Kuhn Group in November 2008.
Key features include injected polyester tank construction with easily cleanable inner surfaces and anti-roll tank design for good stability. The 450–litre rinsing tank is positioned centrally and at the rear for optimum load distribution, and Kuhn’s Equilibra boom suspension system is available for this model.
The Metris, with a ring-to-axle length of 4.35m, is compact and manoeuvrable in the field and – with aluminium boom configurations that allow folding within the machine dimensions – it‘s convenient to transport. A reversible drawbar enables adaptation for various attachments.
Other optional equipment offered on all Kuhn’s sprayers includes GPS section control, automated rinsing, a following axle and boom height control for headlands.
