In the vast KUHN range of agricultural and landscape shredders you will fi nd a model for almost every situation.HIGH-QUALITY SHREDDING IS MOST IMPORTANTWell-shredded crop residues and green spaces are a friend for your soil when fi ght ing weeds, pests and diseases and for rapidly transforming organic matter into humus. This is best achieved, if the residues are shredded very fi nely, the working height stays uniform and the residues are spread regularly over the surface.THREE CRITERIA FOR IMPECCABLE SHREDDINGA large diameter rotor, a suffi cient overlap between the tools and a high linear tool speed: If these three assets are realized, nothing stands in the way of superb shredding results. KUHN meets these criteria with its rotors, adding also the helical tool layout in order to increase the suct ion for an improved cut and to distribute the residues evenly over the soil.3The advantages of shredding p. 4 KUHN shredders introduction p. 6 Landscape maintenance (grass) shredders p. 8 Multipurpose shredders p. 14 Field shredders p. 28 Tool choices p. 44 Technical specifi cations p. 46ContentsSome models are not available in all countries.

An adapted crop residue management is an integral part in today´s agriculturalproduction systems, especially in conservation agriculture, where crop residues arenormally not ploughed under, but only incorporated superfi cially into the soil. Fine shredding and a uniform distribution are the key points:- to accelerate decomposition and conversion into humus,- to provide favorable conditions for uniform germination of the subsequent crop,- to control certain pests, diseases and weeds.5No home to pests and diseasesIn close crop rotations with high shares of maize and wheat, pests and diseases fi nd a wonderful playground to develop. Shredding is an effective instrument to destroy the maize stems, which serve as winter retreats of pests such as the European corn borer. An accelerated decomposition, more-over, ensures that no residues rest on the surface until the next wheat fl owering to avoid the transmission of fusarium spores (see table below).Don’t let weeds inMany weeds migrate from the border into the fi eld andspread over the whole plot if not hindered. An effectiveprecaution measure: shredding grass strips on fi eldborders to lock out bromegrass etc.Effective destruction of intermediate crop coversShredding intermediate crops to weaken and destroy them before seeding the next crop is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical treatment. Think in this regard also of environmental specifi cations and legal directives, both on regional and international level.Supporting soil fertilityTo improve soil fertility, incorporation of organic matter into the soil is the most important measure. The fi ner the residue is shredded the bigger is the surface area for microorganisms to attack and transform the organic matter into humus. Strong points for high humus content: improved capability to retain water and fi x nutrients, reduced nutrient leaching, improved soil structure and stability, increased biological activity.Maintain or improve pasture qualityCattle pick out the best grass to feed on, leaving lessattractive species on the pasture. If this low quality grass is not shredded, it will spread through seeds or vegetative propagation. This reduces pasture quality on the whole and consequently also animal productivity.For uniform germination of subsequent cropFinely shredded and homogeneously distributed residues faci-litate precise seeding of the subsequent crop. There shouldn´t be many undecomposed maize or cereal straw left that could hinder a regular germination and crop growth.Some models are not available in all countries.

Therefore the shredding tools can be changed in total ease.31Some models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer.MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIERLENGTHWAYS TRANSPORTThe BK 320 can be transported lengthways forpassing narrow paths and roads at ease.HYDRAULIC OFFSETBK 230 and BK 280 shredders can be fi ttedwith hydraulic offset of 40 cm to the right to shred in fi elds with obstacles: orchards, rocks, etc.LIMITED MAINTENANCEYou will benefi t from the maintenance-free rotorthanks to bearings that are greased for life. The free wheel in the central gearbox needs nomaintenance as well.COMFORTBC 24 27 3032HIGH-QUALITY SHREDDING AT AN ATTRACTIVE PRIZEThese machines are intented for shredding crop residues (maize, oilseed rape, sunfl owers), intermediate crops and grassy areas (pastures, fallow land,…). Individual cereal or mixed farms of medium size equipped with tractors up to 190 hp will take much pleasure in the BC shredders, if they are looking for a superior cost/performance ratio.AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE NEW GENERATIONThe BC models are equipped with new generat ion rotors with long tools, which work very aggressively to shred really every kind of residue. The rotor has a diameter of 680 mm for shredding high volumes and tough residues. A high rotat ion speed and the tried and tested helical layout of the tools also contribute to a high-quality work.WORK QUALITY33A DRIVE THAT LASTS AND LASTS…The power transmission is opt imized as the rotor is driven by 2 x 2 rib Powerband belts. You will also benefi t from the simplifi ed belt guard with a single bolt in response to new machinery regu-lat ions (bolt incorporated into the guard).AT HOME ON IRREGULAR TERRAINThe work height is controlled either by two semi-pivot ing wheels fi xed on the casing or by a roller (220 mm) with removable ends adjustable to six posit ions.ROBUSTNESS MEETS WORK QUALITYAn outer casing with 5 mm walls, a 8 mm side casing and rear beams to st iffen the structure: Robustness is not an empty word when talking about this machine. With its round profi le it is also designed for high volumes of residues. Some models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer.RM RRM FIELD SHREDDERSDESIGNED FOR INTENSIVE USESAVINGS RELIABLE HECTARE AFTER HECTAREThe RM shredders have proven themselves in the fi eld for years, as did their casing that is except ionally robust. The secret: It´s made up of three large sect ion beams and can therefore resist the most diffi cult condit ions. For addit ional protect ion against stones all RM models are fi tted with a 4 mm bolted sheet metal lining.34The RM shredders with horizontal axis, both rigid and foldable, are adapted for shredding crop residues such as cereal straw, sunfl ower or corn stalks, but also for the maintenance of pastures and meadows. Still, the main areas of operation will be on cereal farms, in machinery cooperatives or for contracting work.THREE CRITERIA FOR IMPECCABLE SHREDDING QUALITYA large diameter rotor, a suffi cient overlap between the tools and a high linear tool speed: Those are the three most impor-tant things to think of when designing a shredding rotor. KUHN meets these criteria with its rotors, adding also the helical tool layout in order to increase the suction for an impro-ved cut and to distribute the residues evenly. 351 2CONTROL THE SHREDDING HEIGHTThe shredding height is adjusted either by:- pivot ing wheels adjustable in height and laterally for shredding crop residues,- or by a roller for management of set-aside land and grass land.For improved contour following, the 3-point linkage is in “fl oat ing” posit ion.A TOOL FOR EACH NEED2. A CLEAN CUT FOR THE MOST LIGNEOUS PLANTSThe hammer knives are adapted for shredding grass, maize or sunfl ower stalks.1. FINE SHREDDING OF ALL TYPES OF PLANT RESIDUESThe universal knives with stubble pallets will lacerate the residues for faster decomposit ion. They also provide an improved suct ion especially of lodged crops into the hood.WORK QUALITYSome models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer.RM36240 280 320 400 450RIGID VERSIONS FOR MORE COMFORTIN DIFFICULT CONDITIONSA DRIVE ADAPTED TOHIGH POWERThanks to their double drive, the power transmission on RM 320, RM 400 and RM 450 models is better distributed to the drive components. FOR AN EASY TOOL EXCHANGEThe rear hood can be lifted manually for easier access to the rotor for maintenance.Therefore the shredding tools can be changed in total ease.FOR MORE COMFORT DURING TRANSPORTFor road safety, some RM shredders (depending on the width) can be transported lengthways. The machine does not exceed the tractor width.RM shredders are used on many farms worldwide. Their reputation is the best proof of their strength and shredding quality. The rigid versions are available in workingwidths from 2.40 to 4.50 m.A SINGLE ROTOR OF 4.50 MThe RM 450 shredder is a single rotor machine. That means 4.50 mworking width without non-shredded areas for an uncompromised quality of workEXCLUSIVECOMFORT37RMSome models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer. TOTALLY SAFE ON THE ROADThe two shredder units fold and unfold hydraulically and lock in place for total safety during transport.Light ing and signalling belong to the standard equipment.480 R 610 R CENTRAL STRIP MANAGED EFFECTIVELYTo reduce the central strip to aminimum, we have opt imized the suct ion at the centre of the machine.To reach this goal:- the fl ux of residues is directed into one of the units,- long tools have been mounted at the rotor´s centre,- the number of tools is increased in this area and a divider share has been fi tted.With the foldable RM R range, an exceptional work output is sure when shredding with these sturdy machines of 4.80 and 6.10 m working width Thanks to their hydraulic folding, travel time between fi elds is also limited.HIGH RESISTANCE TOSTRESSThe main frame is made up of heavy profi les that ensure good rigidity and mechanical strength.Moreover, each half shredder is fi xed to the main frame with a bushed pivot pin that cannot rotateand therefore prevents the whole attachment from wear.FOLDABLE VER-SIONS FOR MORE PRODUCTIVITYCOMFORTWORK QUALITY38RMS 820AN OUTSTANDING SHREDDER FOR LARGE CEREAL FARMSSome basic numbers about this shredder already speak for itself:- working width of 8.20 m,- licensed for high-power tractors up to 330 hp,- with a weight of 6600 kg.This is the right shredder for extra-large surfaces that are shredded intensively, exposingthe machine to high loads and strains.Apart from that you can count on the familiar KUHN assets as a large-diameter rotor withhelical tool layout and high tool speeds for superior shredding quality. The shredding height is controlled by four pivoting wheels. 391 2Some models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer.2. A ROBUST ROTOR DRIVEThanks to their double drive, the power transmission distribut ion to the drive components is improved. At each side the rotor is driven by six SPCX high-capacity belts, which are fi tted with an automat ic tensioning device.1. A STURDY CHASSISThe welded chassis is made up of four beams for increased rigidity: one front, one upper, andtwo lower beams. Also the structure components are very thick and an interchangeable sheet metal lining is bolted to the chassis. PRACTICAL AND SAFE TRANSPORTFor a machine of this size innovat ive transportsolut ions have to be found. On the RMS 820 both the hydraulic transport device and the hydraulic drawbar are fi tted with double act ing cylinders with pilot-operated valves. Both safe and pract icalSAVINGSCOMFORTIT´S ALL ABOUT RELIABLE MACHINES WHEN THEY SHOULD EAT UP THE HECTARESWS 320 BIONOT ONLY SHREDDING, BUT HARVESTINGThe WS 320 BIO is a specialised energy crop shredder designed also for harvesting crops. It can work in combination with a baler - an absolute innovation on the market. It is front-mounted with a built-in windrowing device designed for harvesting bioenergy crops with a high volume, such as Miscanthus, Switchgrass, Sorghum and Arundo Donax. The aim is to work in combination with a baler in order to reduce the number of passages and tools. That means only one driver is needed to shred, swath and bale the cropThe shredder can also be driven in reverse drive.40CONVINCING ADVANTAGES OVER CURRENT HARVESTING SYSTEMSWhen compared to self-propelled forage harvesters or mowing and baling in separate steps, the WS 320 BIO stands out with following assets:- only one person necessary for the entire harvesting process;- simpler transport logistics;- less space needed for storage of bales especially if baled with a high-density baler into square bales;- reduced fuel requirements;- less soil compaction due to less passages of large machines over the fi eld.41ADAPT SHREDDING FOR CROP HARVESTThe rotor speed is reduced to receive shredding lengths of more than 15 cm. Only then they are able to be baled. If you need fi ner shred-ding, we recommend the use of a shredder on the baler. The roller can be adjusted to provide the desired cutt ing height, from 4 to 15 cm.EASY GRASPFor a better grasp of the crops, which are generally tall and dense, the shredder has a hydraulically adaptable front cover and reel. The WS 320 BIO is suitable for all types of vegetat ion with high volumes. It can even work in diffi cult condit ions with lodged crops.Some models are not available in all countries. Please always check with your local dealer.ONE PASSAGE, THREE OPERA-TIONSWindrowing is provided by a worm screw attached behind the rotor. This is driven by a hydraulic motor connected direct ly to the tractor. Rotat ion speed can be adjusted to adapt to the working condit ions (quant ity of material, forward speed). The shredded product is discharged uniformly via a central opening at the back of the shredder. This avoids crushing by the tractor wheels. Baling, in combinat ion or not, will be all the easier.42Standard grassGrass in diffi cult condit ions (stony,…)Grass and wood residues (vine shoots, cut wood)Standard undergrowthClearing, woody crop residues in place (stubble)Field crop residue (maize seed, wheat straw,…): increased suct ion effectGrassGrassHAMMER KNIVESGrass/wood/woody residueUNIVERSAL KNIVESUndergrowth/crop residueARTICU-LATED SCOOP FLAILSARTICU-LATED SCOOP KNIVESHammer knivesArt iculated hammer knivesHeavy hammer knivesLong hammer knivesUniversal knivesUniversal and straight knivesUniversal knives with stubble palletsA specifi c rotor*Art iculated scoop knivesAGRICULTURAL AND LANDSCAPE SHREDDERSCHOOSE THE Assembly possible at the factory*Not possible to fi t other tools Contact KUHN PARTSAssembly not possibleType Residue ToolFallow land, woody crop residues43RIGHT TOOLTL BE BKEBKE REVBP 10VKM BP 100 BPR 10 BPR 100 BPR 100PRO-BP 8300BP 8340WS 230 BIOBC BK-RMRM-RRMSMaintenance, green spaces and landscapeSHORT TOOLS For grass and multipurpose shredders (with low and medium casing)LONG TOOLSFor crop shredders (with high casing)Multipurpose CropsOther uses (biomass, bioenergy, …)44KUHN foundries and forge as well as a high-level manufacturing process allow the product ion of spare parts to defy t ime.
