Kuhn’s increasing presence in the sprayer market was in evidence at Cereals 2010 where the company took part in the working demonstrations in the Sprays & Sprayers section of the event for the first time.
The main machine demonstrated by Kuhn was the trailed Atlantique, which is available with 2,400-, 2,800- and 3,200-litre tank capacities and 18-30m boom widths in steel/aluminium or aluminium construction.
An injected polyester construction gives the tanks a smooth easy-rinse internal surface, and all models have a 300-litre rinsing tank that is sufficient to flush the entire machine.
The Atlantique has hydraulic boom slanting and a boom height that is adjustable from 0.7-2.2m. The axle track width can be adjusted from 1.50-2.25m to be compatible with the tractor track. There are also three different drawbar positions so that the frame remains horizontal at different coupling heights.
The Atlantique operates with a robust and accessible piston pump, with an output of 265 lit/min.
There are three control box options on the Atlantique, with the more basic DPS facility having an hydraulic function selector (opening/closing booms, tilt correction, and so on) as well as in-cab pressure adjustment and electrical sequential section shut-off.
The more advanced RSB3 box allows direct output measurement, application rate adjustment, simultaneous forward speed and output display, data storage and sequential shut-off.
The REB3 controller is based on the RSB3, but provides a wider range of functions for the professional user. These include pressure variance warning and automated boom lifting and lowering to pre-set heights.
Other trailed sprayers in Kuhn’s range include the Baltique (2,400-3,200 litres), Grand Large (up to 3,900 litres) and the Oceanis (4,000-8,000 litres).
