Kuhn Krause Releases New Primary Tillage Tool DOMINATOR 4855

The Kuhn Krause DOMINATOR established an industry standard for a primary tillage product, designed to reduce subsoil compaction, provide residue management and maintain a level field finish. In an effort to continually improve our product's performance and meet or exceed customer expectations, we are pleased to introduce the new DOMINATOR 4855.

Available in 7-, 9-, 11- and 13-shank configurations, the DOMINATOR 4855 will continue to incorporate our proven 5-step system for residue management with additional product improvements, generated from customer and dealer feedback.

With a focus on serviceability and productivity with minimal downtime, 2 3/4" diameter slip-in spindles and 8-bolt wheel hubs (rated at 10,000 pounds each) are used on all walking beam weldments. New 360/65R x 17.5 metrics are standard on the 4855-11 and 4855-13 (optional on the 4855-7 and 4855-9).

This new tire size maintains flotation capabilities while increasing the weight capacity by 2,200 pounds per tire to improve transport reliability. Hardened bushings and heat-treated pins replace grease zerks and standard pivot pins in the parallel mount for the rear disc conditioner's lower links, eliminating the need for daily grease maintenance.

A new angular contact bearing cartridge has been incorporated into each rear disc conditioner blade assembly.
