A new T traction bolt safety feature has been added to Kuhn Farm Machinery’s range of large Vari-Leader ploughs.
Providing an alternative to the non-stop hydraulic system, the simple T traction bolt option is suitable for ploughs working light soils with low stone content.
With a share point load of 4.7t, the shearing design, as opposed to snapping, prevents broken bolts becoming stuck in the plough framework as they break. Kuhn says that users can to quickly and easily replace bolts and return to work. The bolt is fixed in the direction of travel, rather than at 90 degrees to it, therefore, when an obstacle is encountered, the bolt shears with the leg and avoids damage.
“The T traction bolt offers an established and cost-effective safety option,” said Edd Fanshawe, Kuhn’s arable and connected services product specialist. “The design is well proven across other Kuhn ploughs and reduces the oval effect that traditional shear bolts create on the hole through constant movement.”
The semi mounted range is available in six to eight bodies for tractors from 135hp up to 360hp.
