KUHN gears up for major demo event

Farm machinery specialist, KUHN, is set to stage its next big demonstration event in Naracoorte, South Australia on March 5 featuring some of its latest products including the KUHN SB 1290 iD large square baler.

Attendees will see live demonstrations, machinery displays, product workshops and presentations on over 30 of KUHN’s products across the hay and silage, tillage, spraying, spreading and feed mixing sectors.

All KUHN Expo attendees will also be able to purchase machines in a silent auction and have access to special finance offers through their preferred dealers.

One of the major attractions will be the KUHN SB 1290 iD which arrived on Australian shores late last year. Designed for extreme high-density baling in the most challenging Australian conditions, the SB 1290 iD model produces square bales with up to 25 per cent higher bale density than conventional 120x90 balers, KUHN claimed.

A key feature of the SB 1290 iD baler is KUHN’s patented TWINPACT double plunger system that ensures efficient bale compaction while avoiding high peak loads on the machine.

KUHN will be demonstrating the new model at the expo to a crowd of dealers and customers.

“The KUHN SB 1290 iD is designed with simple, efficient techniques like integral rotor and power density that produce rock-hard, perfectly shaped bales,” said KUHN Australia Marketing Manager and Baler Product Specialist, Michael Murer.

Another machine that attendees can expect to see is the OPTIMER L12000 disc cultivator which will be demonstrated for the first time in Australia.

"The OPTIMER L12000 is wider, stronger and faster and meets the requirements of large-scale farmers looking for high work output, optimal comfort and a perfect ground tracking system without compromising work quality,” Murer said.

Other machines making an appearance at the KUHN Expo include:

KUHN will sell all the hay bales made during the live demonstrations at market price and will donate all proceeds to a rural charity.

The event is open to the public and is free to attend but registrations are essential as spaces are limited. Those interested can register their interest here or through their local KUHN dealer.
