2018 Kuhn North America Power Tillers EL 402R -600

Designed, manufactured and proven for large field crop and specialty operations, the EL 402 R power tiller is commercial in every sense of the word. With 20’3” of working width per pass, this machine can break apart residue and easily create a smooth seedbed in one pass. The 22” diameter CultiRotor with industry-leading DuraKuhn blades, coupled with the unique triple cooling gearbox design keeps the machine running in the field under all conditions to adapt to tight tillage windows.

Standard temperature and cutout clutch monitoring from the cab allows operators peace of mind and increases overall field efficiency. Operators can change both working depth and discharge hood angle from the cab to adapt to changing field conditions and residue levels. The folding design allows for safer and faster transport between the field and the road. The offset MaxiPacker roller forms a smooth, consistent seedbed to allow for easier planting.

Features may include:

• The EL 402 R power tiller is designed for intensive use in tight tillage windows. It is essential to be trouble-free if you want to get the job finished on time.

• Six sensors continuously monitor gearbox temperature and rotation speed. The operator is notified by the in-cab terminal if there is an excessively high gearbox temperature or if the cutout clutches have been tripped.

• Every field is different. To obtain the same high standards across these differences, it is important to be able to adjust the machine quickly and easily, in real time.

• That’s why the rear hood crumbling intensity and working depth are hydraulically adjustable from the tractor cab.

• In order to provide perfect leveling between two rows, the rollers work a wider area than the width covered by the blades, 21’6”. The junction of the rollers is offset by 4” (10 cm) in relation to the two rotors so that the central area of the machine is perfectly even. This way the entire tilled pass is smooth.

• The DuraKUHN CultiRotor blades can be adapted for intensive use in the most difficult of conditions. These blades are heat treated for extreme longevity while out in the field. The blades are also 10 mm thick and are counter flange reinforced.

• These rollers are offset compared to the rotors, which allows for any ridge creation by the rotors to be smoothed out, thus producing perfect soil leveling.
