Kuhn comes with semi-mounted Primor

Previously available in mounted and trailed versions, Kuhn Farm Machinery’s Primor 2060 M mechanically-driven feeder and straw blower is now also offered in a semi-mounted format. Using a hydraulically adjustable rear axle, two hydraulic rams enable the hopper body and 1.2 tonne capacity tailgate to be lowered to ground level for easier self-loading. The height-adjustable rear axle also allows the distribution height to be varied by up to 15cm to blow forage products over or under feed barriers; the chute’s maximum height can be adjusted between 2.65 and 2.80m. The semi-mounted machine is equipped with electric controls as standard, and the Polydrive clutch system allows the feed rotor to be started without stopping the tractor pto. The system also allows the drive to be quickly disengaged without having to stop the pto. Equipped with 48 knives, Kuhn says the large diameter feed rotor ensures an even and consistent chop length for all types of long-stranded forage products including hay, straw and haylage. Five regulating tines distribute material to the turbine which is equipped with eight bolt-on blades. Final distribution of the chopped material is via a top-mounted multi-directional chute which can blow on the right-hand side to 18m (13m to the left). A swivelling chute is available as an option. The 2m3 load capacity holds one rectangular bale (1.30m x 1.20m x 2.70m) or a single round bale up to 1.80m in diameter. Semi-mounted Primor 2060 M prices start at £15,786.
