Kuhn was a new name for many visitors to IOG Saltex as the company made its first appearance at the event for over 25 years to launch its Amenity Pro machinery range.

Based in Telford and with an established dealership network across the UK, Kuhn offers implements for use with tractors, compact tractors and ATVs as well as some hand-held appliances.

Kuhn’s Amenity Pro range includes hedge and grass trimmers, flail toppers/shredders, powered cultivators, and spreaders for salt, sand and fertiliser, but it is sprayers where the company now offers greatest diversity.

Kuhn’s amenity sprayer range covers hand-held through to tractor-mounted models, with features such as controlled dosing being a good illustration of the company’s commitment to technological advancement.

Dosage systems for accuracy and efficiency

Kuhn’s ControlSpot and ControlMix dosage systems treat clean water with either plant protection product or fertilisers immediately prior to the boom or lance, thereby improving the accuracy of application rates and avoiding wastage resulting from unused tank residues.

Dosage systems include an homogeniser bowl and are available for single product or dual product application, and at dosage rates from 0.15% up to 5.5%. This technology is available on Polypul wheelbarrow sprayers, Actis and Omnis tractor mounted sprayers, and on some other models.

Vertical booms

Polypul wheelbarrow sprayers are versatile appliances for indoor or outdoor use, and have booms that are adaptable for vertical spraying.

Two wheel and three wheel frames are available, and tank capacities of 50, 100 and 200 litres. A durable high pressure pump, powered by either a four stroke petrol engine or 12 volt motor, operates at 20 or 30 bar pressure.

The Polypul has a telescopic spray gun and 10 metre hose as standard.
