SILAGE CUTTINGIt’s all in the arm movement!The performance of a silage cutter, straw blower & feeder is measured first and foremost by the speedand quality of its loading action. Quality silage cutting is often synonymous with:• A clean, neat clamp face to reduce the air contact area and, therefore, silage oxidation• A straight, vertical clamp face to limit leaching phenomena by rainwater• Easy machine filling for optimum use of the entire body capacity• Clean silage clamp and feeding passageways by reducing fodder losses• Arm movement for easier loading of round and cubic bales with a minimum of manoeuvres.Fast silage cutting and optimum body loadingThe arm pulling strength (up to 2.25 tonnes on Altor and Athenor6070 models) makes for easy loading of all products – even longgrass silage - into the machine.Exceptional arm/grab movement is possible due to the jointbetween the two components being positioned outside the body.All types of bale can be loaded with a minimum of manoeuvres a.3Body dimensions on machines in the Altor-Athenor range are designedto enable the grab to penetrate as far as possible inside themachine. On loading silage, fodder is brought as close as possibleto the feed rotor. The entire body can therefore be loaded withoutactivating the conveyor s.The low turbine position improves visibility of the loading operation.Silage cutting can therefore be conducted from the tractor cab.The grab is fitted with a sealing plate mounted on powerful springs.It lifts on loading grass silage to allow the grab teeth to operate.With maize silage and at the end of the loading operation, theplate stays in the down position to leave the clamp floor impeccablyclean and tidy.Two side flaps ensure a perfectly tight machine body: product lossin transit is kept to a minimum.LOADING VOLUMEALTOR 4560 ALTOR 5070 M ALTOR-ATHENOR60704m 35m 36.5m 32.30 m 2.85 m 3.07 m

MIXINGwww.kuhn.comAdd versatility to your machine!Why integrate a “mixing” function into your Kuhn silage cutter, straw blower & feeder? Altor models canbe fitted with a mixing hopper and the Athenor model with the recycling system. In both cases, mixingvarious ration components offers a number of benefits:• Less appetising products are not left aside at the feeding trough: all animals within the batch consumethe same ration.• Feed efficiency is improved as various products are ingested simultaneously (greater ruminalefficiency).• The addition of concentrates or any other nutritional supplements can be precisely dosed.• The job is less laborious as concentrates and coarse fodder are fed at the same time.KUHN mixing hopper: the Mix Control conceptMixing hoppers are designed to mix coarse fodder (hay, maize, grass silage,etc.) with minerals, cereals and concentrates.ADVANTAGES of the Mix Control concepta High capacity. With a capacity of 575 litres, Kuhn mixing hoppers cancope with the various volumes of the Altor silage cutter and straw blower range.s Easy to load. With their extra-low profile and two loading doors (right andleft), Kuhn mixing hoppers can be filled effortlessly and safely, without having tostraddle the drive shaft.4d Premixing: Minerals and concentrates are mixed in the hopper by meansof an agitator consisting of a double reverse-pitch coil. An even mix is producedthroughout the hopper.f Regular injection. The use of an injection auger prevents blockageproblems. It feeds ingredients continuously into the turbine at a regular rate toguarantee thorough mixing with the coarse fodder.g Precise incorporation. The speed of injection auger rotation determinesthe dosage of concentrates incorporated in the turbine. Simply adjust thepotentiometer knob on the electric control in the cab to modulate the doseincorporated.Athenor version:a mixer at the flick of a switch!You can transform your Athenor 6070into a true mixer at the flick of a switchwithout leaving your tractor seat. Theturbine flap shuts off the feed chuteand opens the recycling chute, then therecycling cover is unfolded.Made from coated polyester fibre, thecover withstands all types of projections.Its bows are padded to protect the coverwhen folded up.Want to take feedmanagement a step further?Then opt for Kuhnelectronic weighing!See page 13 for details

STRAW BLOWINGwww.kuhn.comStraw bedding synonymous with animal welfare!Bedding quality is an important link in the health chain established on your farm.That’s why the solutions provided by Kuhn silage cutters, straw blowers & feeders guarantee:• An even quantity of straw spread over the entire bedding area to limit the risks of litteroverheating• Preservation of the straw structure to maintain full absorbability and therefore extend litter life• Reduced straw consumption for greater control over the “health and hygiene” budget.a Turbine wheel with removable bladesThe turbine wheel is fitted with eight bolted-on blades. This concept guaranteesgood turbine wheel balance and simplifies replacement operations in the event ofblade damage. Two of these eight blades are longer than the others to generatea speed differential in the turbine. The straw spread over the entire surface ofthe turbine by the feed rotor will therefore be blown in identical quantities overthe entire depth of the bedding area (while keeping animal discomfort to aminimum).Upward movements of the chute cap to ensure a good spread of litter are nolonger necessary.Straw is blown up to a distance of 18 metres.6s Pneumatic separating chamber – exclusive to Kuhn!A 150 mm deep space has been designed in the turbine volute between theblades and the turbine inlet: the “pneumatic separating chamber”.The volume of air in motion in this chamber sucks up the product while gentlyseparating it. The straw remains whole. The bedding keeps together better andlasts longer, and your livestock will appreciate the extra comfort!Farmers looking for a machine that does the job cleanly will appreciate thePOLYDRIVE ® disengageable belt drive system. A single switch in the cab stopsboth the feed rotor and the conveyor and prevents debris straw from being lefton the head gates on passing the pillars.

Only the number of head needs to beentered on each change to the herd.Swivel chute for 300° straw blowingAltor and Athenor models can be equipped with a swivel chute to blowstraw to the left and right of the turbine. This chute is the solution to strawblowing in buildings with no separate exit or with difficult access.The swivel chute is mounted on a turntable for 300° rotation. Straw canbe blown up to a distance of 13 m on the left-hand side simply by meansof the fingertip controls in the cab.On models 4560 and 6070, the swivel chute is mounted on top of theturbine a.Meanwhile on the ALTOR 5070 M, the turbine design enables a 300° kitto be fitted to turn the standard chute into a swivel chute s.
