POWERFUL ARGUMENTS
FOR DAILY USE!
Distributing fertilizer in specialized crops, such as
vineyards, orchards, market gardens or in fields
of mixed crop/livestock farms: The KUHN MDS
range of fertilizer spreaders offers a simple and
adapted solution for each of these operations.
FLEXIBLE DISCS FOR VERSATILE
APPLICATIONS
With its flexibly adjustable vanes, the Multi Disc
System (MDS) spreading discs are able to spread
all types of fertilizer, fine seeds and slug pellets
with highest precision and adapted spreading
patterns.
APPLY THE “RIGHT DOSE” IN THE
RIGHT PLACE
The MDS spreaders provide several features, which
not only ensure that the fertilizer is spread exactly,
where it should, but also nothing to be desired in
terms of user comfort:
- Easy application rate adjustment with help of the
D.F.C. scale;
- QUANTRON A electronic outlet control with
optional GPS automatic headland management
and section control;
- Different border spreading solutions.

WORK QUALITY
THE KEY TO AN OPTIMAL
DISTRIBUTION
The MDS spreading discs stand their ground during standard spreading, late spreading in high
crops as well as yield-optimized spreading at field borders. For your comfort, all this is possible
without removing or changing the discs or vanes.
EXCLUSIVE
MDS MULTI-DISC SYSTEM
MDS means highest precision in fertilizer spreading as well as exact spreading patterns for different fertilizers, fine seeds and slug
and snail pellets.
According to the type of fertilizer and the working width, the vanes can be adjusted precisely in length and orientation. Thanks to
their well-marked, three-dimensional position indication, the user can set the vanes quickly and easily.

M1 discs are delivered as standard for working widths from
10 to 18 m. The installation of X vanes allows obtaining a working
width of 20 to 24 m without impairing the spreading quality.
COMFORT
D.F.C. SCALE: ACCURATE
APPLICATION RATE CONTROL
Nothing could be simpler than changing the application rate from one field to another. It can
be done by positioning an opening stop on the continuous proportional direct flow control
D.F.C. scale. With its help, you can modify the application rate without any extra equipment.
The principle: The opening position is modified by the same percentage as the application rate.
This means for example that you simply increase the opening by 10 % for a 10 % higher
application rate.

BETWEEN THE ROWS!
WORK QUALITY
SPREADING ON TWO ROWS
This stainless steel equipment, intended for row plantations, has
adjustable flaps that apply fertilizer on two rows of variable width
and with a spacing which is 100 % variable.
This ensures that all nutrients arrive in the root area of the row crops
and that valuable fertilizer is saved. It can be quickly and easily
adjusted without tools.
EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE
FOR ROW CROPS
6
An attachment is available to
accurately supply up to seven rows
with fertilizer. It is intended for row
crops, such as vegetables or
strawberries.
The spacing is adjustable to up to
90 cm between the rows.
The MDS 10.1 / 11.1 / 12.1, with narrow dimensions, are intended for easier use in
orchards and vineyards without the risk of damaging crops. Intelligent details such as the
“broken” hopper angles of the MDS 10.1 contribute here.
With their innovative details, these MDS models are well prepared for the professional use
in vineyards, orchards, hops and vegetable fields.
EXCLUSIVE
COMFORT
MAINTENANCE-FREE CORE COMPONENT
A reinforced oil-bath gearbox drives the spreading discs and the
agitator.
The sturdy heart of the machine stands out by its long service life
also in difficult conditions. The agitator shaft is made of treated
stainless steel.
This gearbox does not need emptying before ten
years in service!
ENSURING A SMOOTH
FERTILIZER DISCHARGE
A slowly rotating agitator (only
180 min-1) provides a regular flow
of fertilizer on the spreading discs
without damaging the granules
and without clogging the outlet.
The longevity of the components
is ensured with the 100 %
stainless steel hopper bottom,
agitator shaft and outlets.

CAPACITIES
FOR INCREASED
AUTONOMY
The MDS 17.1 and 19.1 models are intended for
mixed farms and have basic capacities of 700
and 900 litres, respectively. These high basic
loads together with the flexible hopper extension
system ensure maximum performance.
CONFORM WITH SAFETY STANDARDS
A shielding of composite materials covers the spreading discs and
efficiently protects the painted areas of the frame and the hopper.
The MDS are in compliance with safety standards: This guard
includes the devices in compliance with the new standard
EN 14017-A1, which is compulsory on new machines.

COMFORT
WORK QUALITY
The electronic metering system with the QUANTRON A control
box monitors and adjusts the metering slide opening, allowing the
fertilizer flow to be coordinated depending on the forward speed
(DPAE adjustment). Even if the forward speed varies, the pre-selected
application rate remains constant.
The driver can at any time:
- modify the application rate,
- adjust the flow on either side individually;
- open and close the metering slides on the left and right;
- document the spreading operation for 200 fields;
- continuously monitor the applied rates.
AUTOMATIC OUTLET CONTROL VIA GPS
For the MDS Q versions, an automatic dis-/engagement of metering
outlets on headlands and field points brings even more efficiency
and precision. This optional GPS support ensures that the outlet openings are always well adapted according to the currently required
working width (VARISPREAD). On headlands, OPTI-POINT helps you
find the ideal point for opening/closing the outlets for each type
of fertilizer separately. The QUANTRON A is also compatible for
variable rate application (VRA) in combination with a GPS. This is
precision farming!
Available for MDS 12.1 and 19.1

3 SOLUTIONS FOR WELL-HANDLED FIELD BORDERS
1. ADJUSTING DISC VANES ON THE BORDER SIDE
As the vanes allow for an easy adjustment both to the right and left,
the spreading pattern can be adapted at the edge of the field.
2. TELIMAT T1
Without getting off the tractor, hydraulically controlled from the
cabin, it orients the trajectory of the fertilizer projected by the disc
10
along the border. TELIMAT stands for precise and comfortable border
and edge spreading from the first tramline!
3. BORDER SPREADING LIMITER
If the tramline lies directly at the edge of the field, this limiter prevents
spraying fertilizer beyond the field. The distance to the border can
be adjusted between 0 and 3 m. The fertilized area thus is delimited.
COMPLETE ADJUSTMENT CHARTS
KUHN provides a complete adjustment chart for each
fertilizer (mineral, green manure) and anti-slug products as
standard.
IDENTIFY YOUR FERTILIZER IN A FEW MINUTES!
The KUHN identification guide will help you with fertilizer
of unknown origin. It classifies the various varieties by
categories (N, NPK, NP, PK, Urea,, etc.) and by particle size.
Continuously updated charts are available on
www.kuhn.com, section
