These single vertical auger self-propelled mixers have been developed specifically to provide a machine suitable for individual purchase and adapted to the needs of all farmers!

The SPV Access/Power/Intense self-propelled silage cutters and mixers have been developed to provide individual farmers with a very compact, low-overall-height and easy-to-handle machine.

These self-propelled silage cutters and mixers are available from 12 to 17 m3, are suited to farms with more than 60 dairy cows and have a unique design that stands apart from other models on the market.
These single vertical auger models are designed with a rear steering axle allowing for a short turning radius.

The 170 hp JDPS (PH5) variable speed engine allows the engine speed to be adjusted to the power requirements of the function in progress. Fuel consumption is optimised while maintaining the performance expected of a machine designed for everyday use.
The range features several models to meet the needs of all farmers:

SPV Access: 12, 14 and 15 m3 versions with a 90 hp milling head and approved at 25 kph,
SPV Power: 12, 14, 15 and 17 m3 versions with a 120 hp milling head and approved at 25 kph,
SPV Intense: 12, 14, 15 and 17 m3 with 120 hp silage cutter and approved for 40 kph.

The VISIOSPACE cab offers unrivalled comfort in terms of space and visibility. The machine can be driven through the tightest sheds and move about safely in your environment.
Its market-leading traction is provided by the engine’s position on the front driving axle, offering optimum load transfer.

SPV, performance and driving comfort compatible with everyday use!

The ‘all-terrain’ self-propelled mixer!

Innovative design with a short turning angle on KUHN SPV Access/ Power/Intense self-propelled mixers

5 m turning radius: easy handling!

alleysThe design of the SPV Access - Power - Intense self-propelled mixers is highly innovative.
The steering axle is the rear axle. This allows for tight turns (5.9m). Turning around in the silos after loading or accessing narrow feeding passages is thus easy.
An optional front steering axle is also available for farmers who want even greater manoeuvrability. The turning radius of 5.00 m is thus the tightest in the market.
The rear axle is narrower than the front axle, which prevents riding over the freshly produced feed line. With a different wheel arch from the front axle, it evenly distributes pressure on the ground to protect the concrete soil in feed alleys and silos.

Optimised dimensions

The dimensions of this range have also been modified with optimisation of the location of all components. The engine is mounted between the cab and the tub, while offering comfortable access (as it is placed at a 90° with respect to the machine direction of travel) in order to easily perform first-level maintenance operations.
The mixing tub positioned between the two axles allows for large volumes while maintaining a low overall height: example with the SPV Power 17.1 DL: 17 m3 at just under 3.20 m overall height!

The mixing tub fitted between the axles allows for large volumes while maintaining a low overall height!

VISIOSPACE cab: Maximum visibility for improved safety

SPV models are designed as standard with a VISIOSPACE cab with 310° side view. The left side door is 100% glazed, giving the farmer good visibility at the foot of the machine when distributing in narrow alleys.
Its round shape makes it possible to view the milling head when loading the silage in the highest silos without any visual obstacles.
The lower part of the cab is fully glazed, giving the driver a clear view of the milling head when loading silage at the foot of the silo.
The milling head hood is hydraulically-operated from the cab and can be retracted. Its pivot point on the milling head rotational axis allows to stay totally clear from the field of vision during the loading phases.
The VISIOSPACE cab is extra-low and features a built-in step. Easy and effortless access.
For maximum user comfort, the SPV models is equipped with 6 high-power LED work lights (800 Lu). The wide windscreen is coated with a self-heating film for rapid demisting when driving inside and outside buildings.
The VISIOSPACE cab comes in a choice of three interior design options (STANDARD, EDITION and ATTRACTIVE).

Self-propelled mixing easy for everyone!

Compactness of the KUHN SPV self-propelled mixer with a 15 m3 machine for buildings under 3.00 m

Compact size: 15 m3 at just under 3 m overall height!

The design of the SPV Access/Power/Intense range can handle large volumes while overall heights remain low.
For example, a 15 m3 machine can now operate in buildings less than 3.00 m tall. Thus, this solution opens up new operational perspectives for many farmers.
The mixing tub is fitted between the two axles. The axles thus no longer have a penalising effect on the overall height of the machine, while benefiting from tyres of favourable size.
To accommodate various farm buildings, the SPV Access - Power models can be fitted with an raised frame base.

For even greater compactness, this vertical auger machine features right and/or left-hand side direct distribution. Feeding alleys requiring simultaneous, bilateral distribution can be handled in a single pass. In order to make sure the feed line is as close as possible to the feed fence, the SPV models are fitted with a retractable under-tub conveyor. In transport mode, the conveyor remains within the machine’s outline, thereby protecting it from any risk of snagging.

Speed and agility on all terrains and in any conditions!

The front-mounted engine on the driving axle of the SPV range provides the necessary traction and agility, even on the steepest slopes. 65% of the weight rests on the driving axle. The slope capacity when loaded ranges from 14% to 17% depending on the model, and from 26% to 29% when operating at working speed (unladen weight)

The 170 hp (125kW) JDPS variable-speed engine allows the engine speed to be adjusted to the power requirement of the function in progress on the machine. Fuel consumption levels are low. This latest-generation engine is combined with a particulate filter and the addition of Adblue.
The hydraulic tank has a capacity of only 70 litres, to keep oil change costs to a minimum during maintenance operations. KUHN’s exclusive hydraulic system allows the oil to heat up very quickly in cold weather, enabling the operator to start work more quickly.

The general design of the SPV model frame and the associated suspensions ensure a long service life.

SPV, quick and easy for all drivers to get to grips with!

The joystick controls the direction and speed of the machine. This steering mode is intuitive and enables all occasional drivers to handle the SPV models.
It is mounted on a console attached to the seat, there is no risk of the driver operating the machine incorrectly on rough terrain. Driving comfort has been enhanced.
Switches are ideally located near the joystick to activate the ancillary functions.
The 5.7' KUHN VTI60 control terminal is colour touch-sensitive. It has 4 modes, including two working modes (loading and distribution), a transport mode and a manual mode for all machine information (maintenance information, possibility of modifying certain machine parameters, etc.).
Weighing management with the PTM Advance system enables 100 different rations to be produced with 90 different ingredients, as well as 50 distribution batches. For specific needs, the weighing terminal can be used to adjust a daily coefficient, program mixing times and monitor ingredient consumption.

Four load cells provide feedback to the PTM Advance control unit. These load cells are positioned between the machine frame and the tub. This is the best guarantee for reliable and accurate weighing.

The SPV models are controlled using a joystick combined with the new KUHN VTI60 terminal

Silage cutting, mixing and distribution

The 2.00 m, 120 hp SPV Power-Intense loading milling head features the boost function.

Silage cutter: high-speed loading

The SPV Power loading milling head features a working width of 2 m. Its 120 hp for Power and Intense models (90 hp for Access versions) and its large 682 mm diameter ensure high performance when loading silage (maize silage: 2,400 kg/minute, grass silage: 1,200 kg/minute) but also with coarse fodder such as haylage, hay and straw.
When handling the most difficult products, the boost function can be activated by a simple push on the machine’s joystick control.

The two continuous flightings on the milling head ensure that the product is guided towards the conveyor in optimum conditions to preserve all the roughage qualities of the silage.

The milling head downstroke control is exclusive to KUHN, it automatically adapts the milling head downstroke speed to the silage clamp according to the fodder density. In addition to respecting the roughage value of the fodder, this system ensures a significant reduction in stress on the machine structures and protects all the hydraulic circuits.

Measuring the distance to the foot of the silage clamp is also exclusive to KUHN self-propelled mixers. Near the foot of the silage clamp, the conveyor downstroke speed is reduced for a positioning of the conveyor without any jerky movements. The silo floor, the entire structure of the machine milling head and the conveyor are protected.
The conveyor is designed with a rubber conveyor belt and feeds the fodder to the right-hand side of the tub. It is ejected in the direction of the mixing flow (direction of rotation of the augers), therefore the mixing function does not compromise loading performance. Feed quality is improved.
The conveyor is positioned at the highest point of the tub, making it easy to load the fodder into the full tub. The fodder exits the conveyor at the top of the tub, allowing the entire mixing tub to be loaded.

The feed qualities that demanding herds expect!

The SPV mixes with two vertical augers, offering capacities of 12 and 17 m3 while overall heights remain low. The loading conveyor discharges the fodder eccentrically to the right of the tub so that it is in the machine's mixing flow.
The fodder is not compressed so that it remains aerated, thus limiting the risk of rations heating up at the trough.

The auger is equipped with 5 serrated knives with a position for a “pulled” cutting effect. The fibre cut is neat and clean, for optimum rumination. Asymmetric knives ensure a self-cleaning effect for sticky fodder.
The last quarter turn of the auger flighting is “double” to accelerate the mixing flow when the tub is full (vortex effect).
Exclusive to the SPV range: the auger speed is electronically regulated according to the milling head load. Power distribution is automatically adapted to the machine functions in progress.

The augers feature a wide range of speed (15 to 50 rpm for the Access version and 20 to 50 rpm for Power and Intense models) to adapt to the weight and type of fodder in the tub. The user can program mixing times for each ration produced.
Two hydraulic counter-knives complete the mixing and chopping system. The high-jointed counter-knives are positioned as close as possible to the passage of the knives of the mixing augers: chopping is faster and more uniform.
In terms of distribution, there are numerous options to choose from: chute or retractable under-tub conveyor or tilting conveyor (depending on model). Left and/or right-hand side ration distribution on the machine.

The mixing auger design on SPV models ensures high mixing quality

Designed to last!

The SPV range has been designed to facilitate routine maintenance operations performed by the user or major maintenance operations performed by the KUHN authorised dealer.
The loading conveyor is designed with an exclusive automatic hydraulic conveyor tensioning system. Regardless of the outside temperature and the amount of wear on the conveyor, the belt is always tensioned to prevent slippage and premature wear. When the machine stops, the system slackens the belt to prevent power surges. The conveyor drive rollers are cage-shaped and allow the fodder residue to be removed from underneath the conveyor belt. A centring groove prevents lateral friction at the bottom of the conveyor.

For maintenance, all lubrication points are easily accessible at ground level.
For the cab, technicians have easy access to the battery compartment, motor relay, weighing junction box and diagnostic connector. The solenoid valves are grouped together at the front right and are common to all functions. They are interchangeable to troubleshoot a problem right away.

Depending on the country, the SPV range is available with connectivity features. Associated with the KUHN CONNECT platform, the machines provide technical data which is translated into performance indicators for the user. The farmer can access the MyKUHN portal with consumption data, indicators for the distribution of times on the different functions of the machine, and, of course, all the information relating to the machine maintenance plan.
Information for KUHN dealers to improve their diagnostic is available on the KUHN extranet along with information such as incident codes and occurrences of these codes, etc.
