Your benefits

Exceptional work quality

The largest clearance on the market

The PROLANDER is equipped with 5 rows of vibrating tines and the 68 cm underframe clearance guarantees the work quality even in crop residue. The PROLANDER benefits from an increasing clearance between its 5 rows of tines, from 60 cm in the front, 70 cm in the centre and 80 cm at the rear of the machine. This unique design improves the flow of soil through the machine and imrpoves the incorporation of residues.

Exceptional versatility

The 70x12 mm vibrating “S” tine is the key to the PROLANDERs optimal working quality. The vibrating effect of the “S” tine allows the soil to be disturbed to a depth of 12 cm. Equipped with a 60 mm wide share, it offers a very good mixing in the top layers to prepare the seedbed. Also available is the 200 mm wide goose foot-share which is ideal for shallow stubble cultivation and ensures mixing quality over the entire width of the tool.
The 90x13 mm vibrating “S” tine of the trailed PROLANDER is specially designed for stubble ploughing in challenging conditions, offering a 180 kg point pressure for optimal penetration in clay soils.
A tine passes through the soil every 15.5 cm which provides a homogeneous finish over the entire width of the tool and improves the levelling.The 70x12 mm vibrating “S” tine is the key to the PROLANDERs optimal working quality.

A profitable machine

The PROLANDER meets the needs of farms who are looking for a high-performance soil tillage implement with a low horse power requirement. 25 horsepower per metre is sufficient to carry out a quality stubble cultivation with the PROLANDER. This means you can use standard gauge tractors between 100 and 600 hp, the low power requirement reduces fuel consumption and extends the service life of wear parts.
All these advantages ensure a high work rate with a working speed of up to 16 km/h. Mixing quality strongly correlates to the working speed, so you will get a better soil/straw mixture at high speed.
The PROLANDER requires little power to adapt to all agricultural operations

A versatile stubble cultivator

Continuous hydraulic adjustments allow the working depth of the PROLANDER to be adjusted from the cab

Settings from the cab

The PROLANDER can be equipped with optional hydraulic adjustments from the cab to ensure optimal comfort for the operator, considerable time savings and better productivity during soil tillage operations. The working depth is continuously adjustable and lifts and lowers parallel to the ground. The levelling board at the front of the machine can also be adjusted hydraulically from the cab. It flattens the ploughed land before the tines.
All these adjustments ensure immediate adaptation to ground conditions and reduce the power demand.

Reduced maintenance

The PROLANDER is equipped with tines held on by a single large bolt. Switching from stubble cultivation with the goose foot-share to seedbed preparation with the straight share is very simple and quick. With a 50% time saving during changes, idle times are significantly reduced and field productivity is increased.

Wearing parts adapted to all jobs

Wearing parts are a key element when purchasing a tillage implement: Cost, replacement time, design, work efficiency, etc.
The goose-foot share allows for a shallow stubble cultivation from 3 to 7 cm deep. This mixes the entire top layer to stimulate weed germination and also destroy the weeds.
The reversible straight share is ideal for preparing your soils from 5 to 12 cm deep with a low power requirement. The shares are heat treated to increase service life by 20%. This straight share is also forged to give it's particular shape with greater thickness on the work area and to retain its penetrating "V" shape.

PROLANDER 9000, 12000 and 14000 are designed for farms seeking exceptional outputs, up to 16 ha/h, while ensuring flawless work quality. With working widths of 9.2 m, 12.2 m and 14.2 m, these vibrating tine cultivators are perfectly matched to tractors from 250 to 600 hp. Their robust yet simple design provides comfort and efficiency, even under the most demanding conditions.
Each model is equipped with 59 to 91 “S” tines (70x12 mm or 90x13 mm), ensuring uniform work across the entire width, with an adjustable depth from 3 to 12 cm. Double U or Double Tube/Bar rollers provide optimal tamping and high-quality crumbling. The HLC (Headland Lift Control) system, available on the 12 m and 14 m versions, makes headland manoeuvring easier by automatically lifting the extensions.
With a transport width limited to 3 m and large-diameter wheels (710/45R 22.5), road safety is fully ensured. These tools combine performance, versatility and durability, making the large-width PROLANDER models a strategic choice for optimising your crops and soil preparation.
Headland Lift Control technology provides greater manoeuvrability at field ends.

Homogeneous seedbed preparation

Strong agronomic benefits

The PROLANDER has agronomic benefits in the many different ways it can be used. In seedbed preparation it brings the following benefits:
  • Aerates the soil to accelerate warming
  • create a fine tilth to ensure good soil to seed contact
  • Level the soil to ensure better seed placement
  • Consolidate the soil to maintain moisture
In shallow stubble cultivation and seed bed preparation, the PROLANDER offers many benefits:
  • Mechanical destruction of weeds
  • Straw distribution
  • Accelerated break down of residue
  • Good emergence of volunteer seeds
  • Pest population control
In secondry stubble cultivations, the PROLANDER ensures quality work by:
  • Maximizing soil / straw mixing
  • Accelerating the breakdown of residues
  • Preparing a seedbed
  • Incorporating lime calcium or organic soil conditioners
  • Burying weeds
  • Re-consolidating the soil to maintain moisture

A choice of packers according to your needs

The PROLANDER cultivator can be equipped with three different types of packer:
  • The double U-roller with a diameter of 600 mm is versatile on all types of soil and is perfectly suited for stubble cultivation. The "U" profile ensures perfect consolidation thanks to the soil to soil contact. It allows you to work in residues, wet conditions and stones. The double U roller is self-cleaning and insensitive to blocking.
  • The double “tube-bar” roller has a 400 mm (tube) roller and a 320 mm (tooth bar) roller dedicated to seedbed preparation. It provides optimal crumbling in heavy soils thanks to the small diameter of the tooth bars which have an impressive rotational speed.
  • The large double “tube-bar” roller (tube bar 550 mm / toothed bar 420 mm) is more versatile than the previous one thanks to its large diameter. It is mainly oriented towards stubble cultivation or seedbed preparation in light soil because it offers better soil bearing capacity.

The triple harrow on the PROLANDER folding mounted version ensures an open, aerated soil structure, promotes even straw distribution for optimal decomposition, and provides effective weed control without regrowth, even in sticky conditions.
The PROLANDER is the perfect agronomic tool for min-till farming

A single passage for stubble cultivation and plant cover sowing

The PROLANDER enables seeding in front of the roller using either a front-mounted hopper kit or the SH 600 seed drill. As a cost-effective alternative for cereals, tine seeding with a front hopper kit ensures excellent soil penetration using the 50 mm point.
By combining the PROLANDER with a front-mounted hopper, stubble cultivation and seeding, either in front of the roller or at the tine, can be carried out in a single pass, optimising both time and establishment costs. This combination is the ideal solution for farms seeking efficiency and profitability. PROLANDER 6000 and 7500 can be equipped with the SH 600 small seed drill for seeding plant cover crops (mustard, phacelia, clover, ray grass, cereals) while stubble ploughing.
Crop covers are recognised for their agronomic, environmental and economic benefits. You can achieve time savings of 50% compared with a conventional establishment system (stubble cultivation + sowing + rolling).
The SH 600, with a 600-litre hopper capacity, is equipped with the same distribution system as our other seeders for increased seeding accuracy. The splash plates are positioned in front of the roller for an even distribution and optimal soil to seed contact.
Simple and precise settings are made from the cab via the QUANTRON S-2 box that enable you to:
  • Modulate the seed rate manually or electronically by GPS;
  • Monitor the seed level, blower and metering unit speeds.
  • The PROLANDER with the SH 600 seed drill can help you acheive high work rates and low seeding costs.
With the front-mounted hopper, the PROLANDER prepares the soil and seeds in a single pass

CTF: a solution to protect your soil and maximise yields.

Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) is an innovative approach aimed at reducing soil compaction, a major factor in yield loss. The principle is simple: establish permanent traffic lanes for all farm machinery to minimise compacted areas. This system improves soil structure, enhances water infiltration and retention, and stimulates biological activity, ensuring more productive crops.
In line with this approach, KUHN offers the PROLANDER 12000 CTF, specially designed to integrate into a CTF system with a 12.2 m working width. This configuration allows efficient operation while respecting permanent lanes, reducing unnecessary passes and lowering fuel and wear costs.
Adopting CTF is an investment in sustainability: less compaction, improved soil load-bearing capacity, and higher yields through optimised machinery traffic management.
The PROLANDER 12000, with its 12.2 m working width, allows CTF operation to minimise soil compaction.
