2024 Kuhn VTC 200 Series 280 Trailer

2024 Kuhn VTC 200 Series 280 Trailer

Available as truck, trailer or stationary models, with capacities ranging from 800-1,320 cubic feet, the VTC 200 Series provide ultimate performance, even in the most extreme-duty feeding cycles.

KUHN Knight VTC 200 Series Vertical Maxx® twin-auger commercial mixers are built to the heaviest specifications in the industry to ensure a quality mix day-in and day-out, even in the most extreme-duty cycles. With commercial-grade components, stainless steel liners standard and the heaviest single-stage planetary gearboxes in their class, these mixers are built to withstand any feeding application and are designed to continue running around the clock.

Features may include:

• Cone-style augers provide superior feed movement for faster, more complete mixing and processing. The smooth, continuous auger flighting (1) creates a rolling feed action that improves mixing. The top cover of the auger has a steep angle to aid in bale movement when processing round bales and to prevent feed from sitting on top of the auger between mixes. The swept back, bolt-on kicker (2) provides a fast and even discharge. The new kicker mount design is stronger and built to withstand the harshest resistance. Each lead flight is equipped with a cast iron scraper (3) that pulls material away from the tub walls into the auger for a better overall mix. Both the kicker and scraper are bolt-on attachments, making replacement very easy to save you precious time.

• The patented drive system on the VTC 200 Series trailers consists of a 2-speed, split-drive gearbox, two planetary gearboxes and two torque-disconnect PTOs. This system provides reliable performance and long service life with a simple and quiet design.

• 2-Speed Split-Drive Gearbox

• The 2-speed, split-drive gearbox provides the flexibility of high and low speeds without adding another gearbox. It allows for a lower horsepower and easier starting speed (28 rpm in low) while also having a high speed for fast mixing and more complete cleanout (41 rpm in high). The gearbox can be shifted manually on the machine or with an in-cab electric shift option for operator convenience.

• Heavy-Duty Gearboxes

• The twin planetaries are designed to provide dependable performance and long life. The drive systems allow the use of single-stage planetaries, which produces far less heat for easier cooling. VTC planetary gearboxes are the heaviest and strongest in this mixer class and are designed to run up to 24 hours a day.

• Torque-Disconnect PTOs

• Two automatically resetting torque-disconnect PTOs provide independent protection for each planetary. This helps guard against obstructions encountered by each individual auger, ensuring reliable service and longer life.

• The completely welded body provides superior strength and durability for long life. The heavy-duty, reinforced floor and body help ensure dependable service and long life.

• Straighter sides, smoother curves and steeper baffles help promote a fast, complete mix for a fluffy, palatable ration. No preprocessing or special loading is required for round or square bales making it easy to load and use. Faster auger speeds also provide quicker, more complete cleanout.

• Easily pull the planetary from the top of the mixer for improved and easier service. This easy accessibility is especially helpful for truck mount models as it does not require dismounting the mixer from the chassis.
