Overview

The Kuhn Knight VT 180 Vertical Maxx mixers are the new generation of vertical, twin-auger mixers that are the ideal choice for dairy and beef producers. These models have innovative features that help producers mix and place a quality ration in front of their animals.

The VT mixers are rugged and dependable, and are built for moderate duty cycles. These machines have a patented 2-speed, split planetary drive that helps ensure reliable service and long life. An efficient mixing chamber, with straighter sides and steeper baffles, allows for greater feed movement with less horsepower required, ensuring a fast, thorough mix. The redesigned tub results in a lower loading height and decreased tread width, by tucking the tires under the unit shell. Eight different door-configuration options offer flexibility to fit a variety of feeding situations. The VT series mixers are available with a single- or tandem-axle trailer, as well as a truck mount option. Trailer model specifications are listed below.

Features

Extended-Wear Components

Extended-wear auger flighting, a heavy-duty steel floor, and standard stainless steel liners help ensure dependable service and long life, even under the heaviest use cycles.

Heavy Duty Planetary Gearboxes

The VTC planetary gearboxes are the heaviest and strongest in this mixer class and are designed to run up to 24 hours a day.

Rugged Undercarriage Options

Straight-single and walking-tandem bogie axle options are available, providing flexibility depending on terrain. Both axle systems are located under the tub for decreased tread width to keep the tires from running over the feed.

2-Speed, Split Planetary Drive

This patented drive system consist of a 2-speed splitter gearbox, two planetary gearboxes, and two torque-disconnect PTOs that provide independent protection for each planetary, ensuring reliable service and longer life.
