These SPV models by KUHN  with a single vertical auger are designed with a rear steering axle allowing for a short turning radius. Approved at 25 km/hour, the range features several models to meet the needs of all individual farmers: SPV access: 12, 14 and 15 m³ versions with a 90 hp milling head; SPV power: 12, 14, 15 and 17 m³ versions with a 120 hp milling head. These machines complement the SPV intense range which already exists in 10, 12 and 14 m³ versions approved at 25 and 40 km/hour. These are their technical features.

Loading

With 90 and 120 hp, the milling head allows to load all the products used for farming: hay, straw, haylage, silage, beet, etc.

Electronic milling head control on the downstroke adapts the loading rate to the fodder density without damaging the structure value.

The broad conveyor (650 mm) ensures regular supply of the mixing hopper.

Mixing

Available in 12, 14 and 15 m³ versions for the Access model and up to 17 m³ for the Power model, the SPV self-propelled wagon features the single vertical auger concept for quick cutting of fibrous products and an aerated mix of the silage-based rations.

The hopper is positioned between the two axles and supported on a frame. This assembly allows for low hopper height: 15 m³ for an overall height of less than 3.00 m.

The hydraulically driven mixing auger ensures a variable speed from 0 to 50 min-1 allowing for the hopper to be completely and quickly emptied.

Feeding

These models are even more compact and feature direct right and/or left-hand side feeding.

As an option for narrow passages, a retractable feed conveyor under the hopper is available.

For farmers using extra-high troughs, the feeding chutes feature a hydraulically tilting conveyor available in different lengths.

Comfort and performance

With 170 hp (126 kW), the JDPS Stage A constant speed engine is positioned at the front at 90° with respect to the machine motion. The machine components are accessible for easy maintenance.

Depending on the farmers choice the machine can be driven using a joystick or a foot pedal.

The cab is fitted with a 3.5-inch VT30 terminal or a 5.6-inch VT50 terminal. Intuitive handling with three work modes: loading mode, feeding mode and travel mode.

All KUHN self-propelled mixer wagons feature a comfortable spacious cab with maximum visibility for safety.
