Kuhn North America, Inc., Brodhead, Wisconsin, has introduced the Montag 2208 dry fertilizer system. The 2208, based on the popular Gen II platform, is equipped with 2 x 50 cubic feet tanks (total capacity approx. 3.5 tons) and is available for 4-, 6- and 8-row 3-point mounted machines making it attractive to growers looking for a smaller capacity fertilizer unit more suited to these KUHN Krause Gladiator models.
Although always fitted with two tanks, the 2208 can be ordered with single product metering for reduced cost or with dual product metering bringing the benefits of the Gen II product range to smaller strip-till units for the first time. Section control is also optional, with the choice of one or two sections being offered.
All machines will be supplied with the Montag ISOBUS dry rate controller and ISOBUS scales as standard. As with other Montag dry fertilizer systems for the 3-point mounted KUHN Krause Gladiator, the 2208 will need to be mounted to a Montag steerable cart (ordered separately) and towed behind the toolbar. The Montag 2208 can apply fertilizer at rates up to 500 pounds per acre per tank (maximum total rate: 800 pounds per acre). With no metering cartridges to change out, variation of application rate is step less throughout the range.
