Kuhn FGD 5200-30

Fertilizer Option

The available dry fertilizer option on folding models provides a stainless steel tank floor and a 60% grain / 40% fertilizer split. The fertilizer cups are of the same non-corrosive material as the seed cups to offer years of trouble free operation. A wide variety of transmission speed combinations are available to finely tune the rate of fertilizer to the crop being planted.

PRO - Precision Residue Opener

Uniform emergence and a strong plant stand begin with the precision seeding capabilities of Kuhn Krause grain drills featuring the exclusive Precision Residue Opener, or PRO OPENER.

- PRO openers feature a 4" x 12" chevron tread depth-gauging wheel mounted in front of the double disc opener for greater seed depth accuracy.
- No-till PRO openers feature a 3" x 14" crowned depth-gauging wheel to prevent soil and residue build-up in adverse conditions.
- 13 ½" double disc blades with 5/8" staggered leading edge for superior residue cutting.
- PRO-system design resists plugging by maintaining opener depth.
- Wide mount for long life and durability.
- 50% fewer pivot points than parallel link style openers.
- Wrench-less depth adjustment.
- 50% more accurate depth control than standard parallel link openers.
- Optional fertilizer placement

HR PRO - High Residue Precision Opener

- Front Mounted 3" x 14"crowned gauge wheel for superior seed depth control in varying soil and residue conditions.
- 16" notched and 13 ½" disc blades with 2 ½" staggered leading edge for excellent penetration through heavy residue.
- HR PRO-system design resists plugging by maintaining opener depth.
- Wide mount for long life and durability.
- 50% fewer pivot points than parallel link style openers.
- Wrench-less depth adjustment.
- 50% more accurate depth control than standard parallel link openers.

The High Residue Precision opener, or HR PRO opener, offers the precise seeding depth control of the PRO opener with the added performance of superior operation in high residue situations.

The large 16" notched coulter blade slices through residue and provides necessary penetration for minimum-till to no-till conditions. The trailing 13 ½" disc blade manages placement depth for the seed. HR PRO openers feature a ductile iron casting and blades with a 2 ½" staggered leading edge for exceptional performance. Spring loaded rotary scrapers are standard equipment to maintain operation in wet conditions. A choice of press wheel options are available to match your planting needs.

HR PRO openers also offer quick, simple, wrench-less depth adjustment by squeezing the press wheel adjustment arms and moving the press wheel depth cam to the desired depth. Increments of ⅛" are available ranging from ½" to 2 ½" of seeding depth.

Seed Cups

Kuhn Krause seed cups feature a fluted feed design. Large flutes allow slower shaft speeds resulting in greater seeding accuracy and gentle seed handling. An adjustable seed gate assures smooth seed flow with large or small seeds. Kuhn Krause seed cups are bolted together rather than glued or melted for increased durability. Feed rates are changed by opening or closing the seed cups which is controlled by a seed rate adjustment knob on the end of the drill. Smooth plastic seed tubes prevent seed from bunching as with corrugated rubber seed tubes.

Safe Transport

High-visibility LED lighting is standard equipment on all Kuhn Krause grain drills. This provides improved driver response time, eliminates filament burn out and has an expected 100,000 hour life. Most importantly, it means increased safety for you and other drivers during transport.

For some, high productivity means sacrificing transport width but not with the 5200 folding grain drills. These drills fold to an industry leading 12'10" transport width for exceptional highway maneuvering. With Kuhn Krause you can expect high productivity and transportability to go hand-in-hand.
