2024 Kuhn 9400 10'

KUHN 9400NT no-till grain drills are designed for growers and custom operators sowing cereal grains, legumes and cover crops.

KUHN 9400NT grain drills are specifically designed for no-till applications, but have the ability to quickly adjust to conventional tillage conditions. Designed with innovative features like heavy-duty PRO openers and simplified, quick adjustments for seeding rates, operators get precise seed placement and maximum productivity. KUHN's proven Helica meter design, combined with smooth drop tubes and standard seed agitator, provides a steady flow of seed and minimizes pulsing when planting. With three hopper configurations available (seed only, seed and fertilizer, and seed and seed), the 9400NT is versatile and can be suited to fit your operation's needs. ISOBUS compatibility is available and helps monitor critical grain drill functions along with alerting the operator to any machine malfunctions.

Features may include:

PRO – Precision Residue Opener

The PRO opener can operate in conventional, minimum-till or no-till applications while enhancing seed depth control and seed placement. An extra pivot point, incorporated into each opener casting, is located just above the seed drop area of the opener. This feature, combined with the front pivot of each opener drawbar, allows the opener to maintain a full range of motion while remaining horizontal to uneven field surfaces. Final seeding depth is determined by splitting the difference between the opener’s front mounted depth gauge wheel and the adjustable rear press wheel of each assembly. This gauged movement provides up to 50% more precise seed placement for uniform germination and maximum crop performance.

16” diameter no-till coulters provide reliable soil and residue penetration. The “close-coupled” coulter design allows the opener to better track the path of the no-till coulter when sowing irregular fields or operating on contours. No-till coulters are designed with no daily grease maintenance features, so servicing requires a minimal amount of time, putting you in the field faster.

This “ratchet” style adjustment quickly increases individual opener down-pressure, up to an additional 80 pounds above the standard 310-pound pressure setting. You can choose from four different positions, increasing opener down pressure by 20 pound increments. This feature gives the operator the option of increasing down pressure on individual openers, to maintain seeding depth in extremely hard soil or compacted areas from tractor and/or combine tracks.

Accurate Seed Placement

KUHN’s proven Helica meter utilizes a spiral flute design to direct a uniform flow of seed and fertilizer through each meter, eliminating the “dumping” action commonly found in a straight fluted meter roll. A Helica nylon roll is used with single or dual seed hopper options while the stainless roll and meter housing are used with the fertilizer option to prevent corrosion.

The manual seed meter shut-off allows the operator to vary row spacing for certain crops.

The KUHN Variator setting provides infinitely adjustable control of seed shaft speed eliminating the need to move drive chains and sprockets when changing the seeding rate.
