POWERFUL ARGUMENTSFOR DAILY USE!

KUHN´s MDS range of fertilizer spreaders in brief:

Distribut ing fert ilizer in specialized crops, such asvineyards, orchards, market gardens or in fi eldsof mixed crop/livestock farms: The KUHN MDSrange of fert ilizer spreaders offers a simple andadapted solut ion for each of these operat ions.

FLEXIBLE DISCS FOR VERSATILE APPLICATIONS

With its fl exibly adjustable vanes, the Mult i DiscSystem (MDS) spreading discs are able to spreadall types of fert ilizer, fi ne seeds and slug pelletswith highest precision and adapted spreadingpatterns.

APPLY THE “RIGHT DOSE” IN THE

RIGHT PLACE

The MDS spreaders provide several features, which not only ensure that the fert ilizer is spread exact ly, where it should, but also nothing to be desired in terms of user comfort:- Easy applicat ion rate adjustment with help of the D.F.C. scale;

- QUANTRON A electronic out let control with opt ional GPS automat ic headland management and sect ion control;

- Different border spreading solut ions.

X VANES FOR INCREASED WORKING WIDTHM1 discs are delivered as standard for working widths from 10 to 18 m. The installat ion of X vanes allows obtaining a working width of 20 to 24 m without impairing the spreading quality.

THE KEY TO AN OPTIMAL DISTRIBUTION

The MDS spreading discs stand their ground during standard spreading, late spreading in high crops as well as yield-optimized spreading at fi eld borders. For your comfort, all this is possible without removing or changing the discs or vanes.

MDS MULTI-DISC SYSTEMMDS means highest precision in fertilizer spreading as well as exact spreading patterns for different fertilizers, fi ne seeds and slug and snail pellets.According to the type of fertilizer and the working width, the vanes can be adjusted precisely in length and orientation. Thanks to their well-marked, three-dimensional position indication, the user can set the vanes quickly and easily.

D.F.C. SCALE: ACCURATE APPLICATION RATE CONTROL

Nothing could be simpler than changing the application rate from one fi eld to another. It can be done by positioning an opening stop on the continuous proportional direct fl ow control D.F.C. scale. With its help, you can modify the application rate without any extra equipment.The principle: The opening position is modifi ed by the same percentage as the application rate. This means for example that you simply increase the opening by 10 % for a 10 % higher application rate.

READY, STEADY...SPREAD!

1. Remove the disc without tools in a few seconds. / 2. Install the guide channel. / 3. Identify the fertilizer with the identifi cation guide/adjustment chart. / 4. Determine the outlet opening according to the indications of the charts. / 5. Set the outlet opening on the machine.

6. Open the outlet with the agitator in operation. / 7. Weigh the quantity collected and calculate the new opening.

EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE FOR ROW CROPS

An attachment is available to accurately supply up to seven rows with fert ilizer. It is intended for row crops, such as vegetables or strawberries. The spacing is adjustable to up to 90 cm between the rows.

SPREADING ON TWO ROWS

This stainless steel equipment, intended for row plantat ions, has adjustable fl aps that apply fert ilizer on two rows of variable width from 1 to 5 m and with a spacing which is 100 % variable. This ensures that all nutrients arrive in the root area of the row crops and that valuable fert ilizer is saved. It can be quickly and easily adjusted without tools.

MAINTENANCE-FREE CORE COMPONENT

A reinforced oil-bath gearbox drives the spreading discs and the agitator. The sturdy heart of the machine stands out by its long service life also in diffi cult condit ions. The agitator shaft is made of treated stainless steel.

This gearbox does not need emptying before ten years in service!

ENSURING A SMOOTH FERTILIZER DISCHARGE

A slowly rotat ing agitator (only 180 min-1) provides a regular fl owof fert ilizer on the spreading discs without damaging the granulesand without clogging the out let. The longevity of the componentsis ensured with the 100 % stainless steel hopper bottom, agitator shaft and out lets.

EXCLUSIVE

COMFORT

The MDS 10.1 / 11.1 / 12.1 fertilizer spreaders, with narrow dimensions, are intended for easier use in orchards and vineyards without the risk of damaging crops. Intelligent details such as the “broken” hopper angles of the MDS 10.1 contribute here.

With their innovative details, these MDS models are well prepared for the professional use in vineyards, orchards, hops and vegetable fi elds.

HIGHERCAPACITIESFOR INCREASED AUTONOMY

17.1 19.1

The MDS 17.1 and 19.1 models are intended for

mixed farms and have basic capacities of 700

and 900 litres, respectively. These high basic

loads together with the fl exible hopper extension

system ensure maximum performance.

CONFORM WITH SAFETY STANDARDSA shielding of composite materials covers the spreading discs and effi cient ly protects the painted areas of the frame and the hopper. The MDS models are in compliance with safety standards: This guard includes the devices in compliance with the new standard EN 14017-A1, which is compulsory on new machines.

MDS OUTLET CONTROL VERSIONS

HOW TO OPEN AND SHUT THE OUTLETS?

Q 9

The electronic metering system with the QUANTRON A control box monitors and adjusts the metering slide opening, allowing the fert ilizer fl ow to be coordinated depending on the forward speed (DPAE adjustment). Even if the forward speed varies, the pre-selected applicat ion rate remains constant.The driver can at any t ime:- modify the applicat ion rate,- adjust the fl ow on either side individually;- open and close the metering slides on the left and right;- document the spreading operat ion for 200 fi elds;- cont inuously monitor the applied rates.

For the MDS Q versions, an automat ic dis-/engagement of meteringout lets on headlands and fi eld points brings even more effi ciencyand precision. This opt ional GPS support ensures that the out let ope-nings are always well adapted according to the current ly required working width (VARISPREAD). On headlands, OPTI-POINT helps you fi nd the ideal point for opening/closing the out lets for each type of fert ilizer separately. The QUANTRON A is also compat ible for variable rate applicat ion (VRA) in combinat ion with a GPS. This is precision farming!Available for MDS 12.1 and 19.1

1. ADJUSTING DISC VANES ON THE BORDER SIDEAs the vanes allow for an easy adjustment both to the right and left, the spreading pattern can be adapted at the edge of the fi eld.

2. TELIMAT T1Without gett ing off the tractor, hydraulically controlled from the cabin, it orients the trajectory of the fert ilizer projected by the disc

along the border. TELIMAT stands for precise and comfortable border and edge spreading from the fi rst tramline!

3. BORDER SPREADING LIMITERIf the tramline lies direct ly at the edge of the fi eld, this limiter prevents spraying fert ilizer beyond the fi eld. The distance to the border can be adjusted between 0 and 3 m. The fert ilized area thus is delimited.

CLIP FIXThe extensions can be fi tted quickly on the machine thanks to the CLIP FIX system.
