Overview
Tailored for Alfalfa, Built for Precision
The KUHN 5200M mounted grain drill delivers precision, durability and versatility. Its innovative design ensures accurate seed placement and depth, ideal for crops like alfalfa. Available in 15' and 20' models with 6" and 7.5" row spacing options.
The KUHN 5200M mounted grain drill is engineered to deliver exceptional seeding performance, combining precision, durability and versatility. Its innovative design ensures accurate seed placement and depth, making it ideal for crops like alfalfa that require meticulous planting for optimal growth. Adaptable to both minimum-till and conventional tillage systems, the 5200M performs reliably across diverse field conditions. With user-friendly adjustments, robust construction and efficient operation, this grain drill is built to maximize productivity while maintaining the delicate handling needed for small, high-value seeds.
Features
Consistent Seed Depth
Individual row downforce adjustment maintains uniform seeding depth across the entire drill, even in variable soil conditions. The integral leading gauge wheel simulates a walking tandem. It follows uneven terrain while placing seeds at a consistent depth, which is especially important for small, seeded crops, like alfalfa.
Fluted-Feed Seed Cups
5200M seed cups feature a fluted feed design. Large flutes allow slower shaft speeds resulting in greater seeding accuracy and gentle seed handling. An adjustable seed gate assures smooth seed flow with large or small seeds controlled by a seed rate adjustment knob on the end of the drill. Smooth plastic seed tubes prevent seed from bunching compared to corrugated rubber seed tubes.
PRO - Precision Residue Opener
PRO openers feature a 4" x 12" chevron tread depth gauge wheel or a 3" x 14" crowned depth gauge wheel on no-till drills. The PRO opener design accurately controls seeding depth while resisting plugging. The 13 ½" double disc openers with a 5/8" staggered leading edge cut through residue with ease, ensuring a consistent seed trench.
HR PRO - High Residue Precision Opener
HR PRO openers utilize a 3" x 14" crowned depth gauge wheel and one 16" notched and one 13 ½" disc for the opener with a 2 ½" staggered leading edge to enable excellent penetration in heavy residue conditions. The HR PRO system has 50% fewer pivot points compared to parallel link style openers while maintaining more accurate depth control.
Wrenchless, Accurate Seed Depth Adjustment
Adjusting the openers is quick, simple, and does not require any wrenches. Depth adjustments can be made in 1/4" increments on the PRO openers from ½" to 2 ½" and in 1/8" increments on HR PRO openers from ¼" to 2 ½" seed depth.
Simple Seeding Rate Adjustment
An indexed seed shaft with spring loaded adjustment makes rate changes quick and easy using the chart located inside the hopper lid or in the operator's manual. Grain seeding rates can easily be changed from a few pounds to as much as 300 lbs/acre of selected crops with a simple pull of the idler lever and sliding sprockets.
High-Capacity Design
The KUHN 5200M mounted grain drills feature a 2.6 bushels-per-foot hopper capacity, offering 39 bushels on the 15' model and 52 bushels on the 20' model. This design maximizes the time between refills while maintaining a manageable weight for the tractor's 3-point hitch when fully loaded.
Seed Box Design
The seed box has standard meter baffles to ensure the box empties evenly on sidehills and provides easier cleanout compared to a flat hopper floor.
Equipment
Press Wheel Options
Four press wheel options are available: 2" x 13" smooth, 2" x 13" single ribbed, 3" x 13" single ribbed and 3" x 13" double ribbed. The 3" x 13" single-ribbed design is our most popular option and works well in a variety of soil conditions.
Markers
5200M drills are available with an optional marker arm, featuring a 14" notched marker disk and shear bolt protection.
