Kuhn: New trailed seed hopper gives increased sowing capacity

Kuhn Farm Machinery has launched a new trailed seed drill tank to give arable growers the option of increased hopper capacity.

The new Kuhn TT trailed seed drill is available in two sizes: the TT 3500 with a 3,500-litre capacity, and the TT 6500 with a 6,500-litre capacity. Both versions feature a stainless steel volumetric metering unit and are equipped with a standard Category-3 rear attachment for connecting to a Kuhn seeding bar.

The TT can be used with a folding BSDR coulter bar or with a Kuhn precision seeding drill bar, and both versions are available in 6.0m to 9.0m working widths.

The new TT is Isobus compatible, with or without Kuhn CCI 200 terminal, and uses a highly accurate radar system to detect forward speed. The TT 3500 uses a single electrically driven metering unit while the TT 6500 is equipped with twin metering units. On both machines, the metering units allow application rates to be accurately adjusted on the move.

The trailed hopper is fitted with large dimension flotation tyres as standard (600/55-26.5 tyres on the TT 3500, 710/50-30.5 tyres on the TT 6500) and is also available in a twin-wheel format. Hydraulic brakes are standard equipment.

The TT is fitted with large-dimension flotation tyres as standard.

The TT’s seed hopper has a large loading opening and low-loading height for quick and easy filling, and is fitted with a filtering sieve to protect the metering unit(s) from foreign objects. An access ladder and platform are fitted for operator convenience and safety, and a quick emptying hatch makes changing seed part-way through a load a quick and easy operation.

An optional Vario seed blower makes the TT compatible with all tractors – even those with insufficient hydraulic capacity to drive the standard, pneumatically blown hopper.
