A new piece of technology from KUHN
Krause gives operators control of a
vertical tillage tool from the tractor cab.
Available on the Excelerator XT 8010 is the Smart Soil
Technology system, which received an AE50 award in
January.
Smart Soil Technology “brings electronic control of
all the main features of the machine into the cab
through an ISOBUS display,” said
Peter Goodge
, senior
product manager at KUHN Krause. “With Smart Soil
Technology, we can control the front and rear gang
angle, the working depth, the wing down pressure,
the star wheel down pressure and the level of the
machine.”
Operators can adjust the
settings individually or
store favorite settings into
eight presets.
One unique Smart Soil
Technology feature compared to competitors is a
preset only mode.
“There’s always a learning curve with these machines
and not every operator is going to be able to make
use of individually all of those features,” Goodge said.
“Preset mode allows the customer to set a few of
those presets, activate preset only mode and then the
operator can only have access to those presets.”
This could work well for the main body of the field or
the end rows, he added.
