Kuhn Farm Machinery has launched a new folding HR 6030 RCS power harrow, with four seeding toolbar options, to match the 4m, 4.5m and 5m models already in the HR 1030 series.
The new HR 6030 RCS 6m model is aimed at users requiring a versatile power harrow combination drill for a variety of soil types and conditions, while offering interchangeable drill toolbars for sowing different crops. The folding models all feature a centre of gravity close to the tractor for improved weight balance and traction and are suited to tractors up to 350hp.
Kuhn’s HR 1030 RCS series is a modular concept allowing it to work alone or be fitted with cereal toolbars or precision Kosma CSM seeding unit. The new HR 6030 RCS has three cereal seeding options – a BTFR 6010 with Suffolk coulters; the BTFR 6020 single discs; or the Seedflex 100 cereal bar on the BTFR 6030. Finally, an 8-row Kosma CSM precision unit, for maize and sugar beet, is also available. All seed bars fit onto the roller frame, which keeps the connection close to the tractor and reduces rear lift requirements. A 590mm Megapacker, or 550mm Steelliner packers, provide full width consolidation.
The main Duplex gearbox is equipped with an oil cooler to prevent overheating, while the Fast-Fit tines are DuraKuhn carbide coated as standard for increased longevity. Maintenance free gears and bearings in the rotors reduce daily requirements.
At the front, Kuhn offers two seed tank options. A single hopper TF 1512, with 1500 litres as standard, rising to 2000 litres with extensions, or the larger TF 2300 C, which is split (60/40) to provide both seed and fertiliser delivery from the 2360-litre hopper. Working depth, levelling bar and seeding depth are controlled from the cab via Isobus.
