Kubota releases SE9000 series folding mulchers

Kubota Australia has announced the release of its SE9000 Series ag mulcher series that the company said is ideal for the regeneration of grassland as well as maize, sunflower and sorghum stubbles on large-scale operations.

The series includes two models, SE9560 and SE9640, which are available in widths of 5.6m and 6.4m. Both models include a hydraulic folding feature with automatic locking, allowing for safe road transportation at a width of 2.5m.

“The rotors are at the cutting edge. They are equipped with universal blades for superior versatility,” said Kubota Australia’s Product Manager for Implements, Mark Allott.

“This unique flail design with a centre blade ensures crop residue is lifted, making the implement ideal for both wet and dry conditions.”

The rotors spin at more than 2000rpm to provide a clean chop even while driving at high speeds, Kubota said.

The oscillating lower link and split upper link allow the implement to follow ground contours while the four rear depth wheels allow the SE9000 Series to pivot easily.

The central gearbox is rated up to 260 PTO horsepower and is equipped with an integrated freewheel to deliver a smooth drive.

“Another fantastic feature of the mulcher is its power and fuel consumption,” Allott said.

“Special attention has been paid to the power transmission, which means the SE9000 mulchers consume the least amount of fuel and keep you on the field for longer.”

The chopping unit frames are designed with a rounded profile to maximise torsional rigidity and improve crop flow.

The rear cover can be adjusted depending on the quantity of chopped material, with wider openings providing generous clearance to support high crop volumes.

“When it comes to mulching, we know farmers want reliability and versatility,” Allott said.

“The SE9000 Series’ high cutting chambers deliver this and ensure consistent, advanced performance in any crop conditions.”

Both the SE9560 and SE9640 come with a bolted double skin, second counter knife and road transport lighting to meet Australian road regulations.  

Kubota’s new SE9000 Series folding agriculture mulcher will be available in Australia from June 2024.

The SE9560 model is listed at $59,950, while the SE9640 retails at $64,900. For more information, visit Kubota Australia’s website.
