Kuhn has been missing a larger-volume, higher-spec trailed sprayer, a problem that will be solved by the four model 4,500- to 8,000-litre Karan.
There will be three build variants, with the mid-spec Power expected to the be the most popular. Boom widths of up to 48m will also come when the range is complete.
Filling capacity is 250 to 900l/min depending on pump choice while in-field application rates of 250-500l/min. To make use of that application rate, there is a new ‘Eagle’ smart boom control system for forward speeds of up to 25km/hr. It also gets a variation of Kuhn’s Autospray PWM system.
The Diluset filling station is new allowing automated filling management and the induction hopper is closed transfer system ready, meaning you can use the pre-equipped holes to attach the coupling for whichever system you prefer. The suction capacity on the hopper is 220l/min.
Mechanical leaf spring is standard with hydro-pneumatic optional. Steering angle is up to 28 degrees for the up to 2.05m diameter VF tyres. A 6,000-litre, 36m Karan will tip the scales at 5.7t.
The smaller Lexis sprayers will stay in production, but the Metris II will be phased out in favour of the Karan which starts production in January.
