Overview
Commercial-Grade Tough
The EL 282 power tillers are tailored for arable and field vegetable operations, but also for cooperative use by machinery co-ops or custom operators.
Designed for difficult tillage operations on high power tractors, KUHN EL 282 Series power tillers are tailored for high acreage vegetable and field crop operations. These heavy-duty power tillers are offered in working widths of 10', 13' and 15'. The EL 282 Series machines are designed for intensive work applications and provide superior reliability for long life and reduced operating costs.
Features
Depth Control
When fitted with a roller, depth adjustment is easily performed using pins inserted into a multi-hole quadrant. The roller is free to drop, maintaining maximum contact with the soil in any condition. This provides optimum firming of the seedbed and helps level the cultivated surface.
MaxiPacker Roller
The large 21-inch MaxiPacker roller diameter reduces the rolling resistance and increases flotation. This roller can easily be combined with heavier drills. Coated scrapers are supplied as standard to maximize the service life, reduce adjustment, and improve cleaning of the roller in sticky soils.
Adjustable Two-Piece Rear Hood
The EL 282 Series power harrows come with an articulated, curved rear hood that can be easily adjusted by hand cranks. This convenient adjustment allows you the ability to recirculate the soil and crop residues to regulate the soil flow for improved seedbed leveling.
Quick Change Rotor System
This system provides rapid exchange between the Cultirotor rotor and the Cultitiller rotor. You will also be able to safely replace the blades by separating the rotor from the chassis. It takes just a few minutes to remove the five mounting bolts and the rotor is on the ground.
Large Rotor Clearance
The significant clearance between the rotor and casing reduces power requirements and facilitates soil flow. In wet conditions, the machine has less tendency for soil buildup to occur between the rotor and the body.
Double Drive
The double drive (similar design to a planetary gear train) ensures a smoother and more efficient drive than with two individual gearboxes: an exclusive KUHN feature.
Unique Design
The unique design of the triple-cooling gearbox is able to reduce gearbox temperatures for high reliability.
Equipment
Rear Wheels
For work at shallow depth (pasture reclamation, stubble clearing), the rear wheels can replace the roller. In transport position, these wheels pivot to the inside to reduce the machine width.
Skids or Front Wheels
These wheels are intended for work not requiring the surface to be entirely uniform. The front wheels have adjustable spacing and will roll over firm soil without leaving tracks in the worked soil.
