The compact working height and high carrying capacity of the latest Primor straw bedding and feeding machine from Kuhn Farm Machinery will appeal to farms with restricted height sheds.
Aimed at users requiring a high-capacity machine in restricted height buildings, the 5.5m long bale bed on the new 11m³ Primor GII 110.1, to carry two, 2.7m square bales, with the tailgate closed, and up to four, 2m round bales with the tailgate lowered.
“Restricted height sheds are still essential infrastructure for many small and medium sized livestock units, and machines that can easily move through these buildings, whilst improving carrying and output capacity, are essential to users,” says Kuhn’s Rhodri Jenkins. “The new Primor offers a high area covered per load in low buildings.”
The new model uses the tried and trusted Polydrive hydraulically controlled feed rotor system. Providing the mechanical power of the transmission and the flexibility of hydraulic operation, the large-diameter feed rotor prevents long fibres wrapping around it, while a hydraulic tine bank adjusts feed rotor power depending on the fodder.
A two-speed gearbox powers the turbine rotation speed (310-620rpm) and the patented Unroll system, with hydraulic clamps inside the body, secures waiting round bales during straw-blowing. K-Nox treatment has been applied to the bottom of the turbine for increased resistance to silage acids and abrasion and new tailgate kinematics improve bale loading.
