2024 Kuhn SPW Series 19.2 CL

2024 Kuhn SPW Series 19.2 CL

Four models available, the SPW 19, SPW 22, SPW 25 and SPW 27, offer capacities that range from 670 to 950 ft3 (19-27 m3).

KUHN SPW Self-Propelled, Self-Loading Mixers combine multiple machines normally involved in mixing and feeding a TMR into a single machine. Four machines are combined into one (silage facer, loader, mixer, power unit) making the SPW the ideal machine for producers looking to increase efficiency in their operation.

Features may include:

• The first machine that the SPW acts in place of is a mechanical facer. The 6’7” (2 m) wide rotating milling head provides a clean, smooth silage face. The over top rotation of the milling head shaves downward on the silage pile. Downward facing on the silage pile and eliminating undercutting possibilities provides the best oxygen-limiting environment for silage quality preservation, as well as reduces the risk of unwanted silage collapsing. Silage is loaded while the pile is being faced, minimizing a step in the process and saving time.

• The loading portion of feeding is achieved with the combination of the milling head and loading conveyor arm of the SPW. The wide, powerful milling head combined with a wide loading conveyor maximizes loading capacity of the machine. Facing and loading occur simultaneously when facing larger silage piles, maximizing capacity.

• Proven KUHN twin-auger mixer design is used on the SPW Series to guarantee excellent mix quality. The SPW leads the way in mixing control capabilities, with full adjustability of mixing augers throughout the mixing and feeding process. Unique features to the SPW mixer design include hydraulically adjustable, programmable hay stops and auger integrated magnet options.

• The power unit portion of the SPW is made possible by a Volvo 6 cylinder 250 HP engine. The engine meets phase 5 emissions requirements. The engine is placed in the rear of the machine for several reasons; ideal transfer of weight to the rear axle, kept away from dusty loading and unload areas, reduced noise in the cab, and ease of access for maintenance purposes. The SPW features a Dana Spicer® rear axle. Rear of machine weight distribution, paired with a limited slip differential, provides traction in varying conditions. The position of the rear axle provides a shorter wheelbase, increasing maneuverability of the machine.

• The SPW offers 200 HP at the milling head, providing power to load quickly and effectively a variety of materials. From facing silage to loading bales or bulk commodities, the high horsepower milling head gets the job done quickly.

• Competitively wide milling head and loading belt maximizes the amount of capable material throughput, allowing the machine to be pushed to the maximum capacity of the high-horsepower milling head.

• The unique auto-drop feature of the milling head provides unmatched ease of facing silage piles. With the click of one button on the control joystick, the SPW milling head will automatically adjust the drop speed on a silage pile, based on hydraulic pressure. With the auto-drop function, the optimal facing rate is achieved to minimize stalling issues while also loading the machine as fast as possible.

• Excellent cab visibility allows the operator to easily position the machine where it needs to be in order to speed up operation and reduce loading times.
