At Kuhn Knight, Inc., we specialize not only in building mixers but also in mounting them on trucks. Truck mounting is performed at our factories in Brodhead, Wisconsin, and Greeley, Colorado, and at our authorized truck-mounting dealerships throughout the United States and the world.
Our truck mounting specialists can help you find a new or used truck and offer technical support to you and your dealer for proper feed mixer and manure spreader mounting.
A
choice of double right-angle gearbox drive or a GTD (gear tooth belt drive) is
offered. The double right-angle gearbox provides a simple and dependable drive
system to meet most needs. The GTD drive features a heavy-duty cogged belt that
absorbs the shock load when starting and stopping the truck PTO in heavy
torque-load situations. This results in smooth, reliable operation.
The unique Botec box design requires less
horsepower than competitive feed mixers, eliminating the need for a hydrostatic
drive in most applications. For customers who prefer the hydrostatic drive
option, consult the factory.
Available with capacities from 360 to 900 cubic feet.
Many
feedlot operators choose a truck-mounted Commercial SDL mixer for time-saving,
efficient operation. The fast and gentle mixing action of the reel reduces the
need to mix in transit. This results in faster feeding time and fewer fines in
the bunk. Faster mixing from the reel means about a 25 percent faster discharge
rate over auger units, which helps maximize feeding efficiency. Faster feeding
time also saves fuel and maintenance on your trucks.
The high discharge height design allows
the slide tray discharge to feed into bunks up to 45" high. This eliminates
the need for more costly auger or chain discharge systems. Other benefits of a
truck mount include, operator comfort and increased maneuverability, especially
when backing up in long bunk runs.
Available
with capacities from 500 to 950 cubic feet.
The truck mounted Reel Auggie is a good choice for
operators with road travel between locations. Most truck mounts provide a higher
discharge point, which often allows the use of the slide tray. The 3036 and
3042 have the entire drive in the rear of the mixer, which is more convenient
and accessible once the mixer is truck-mounted.
Available with
capacities from 174 to 420 cubic feet.
The Verti-Maxx is the most efficient truck mount vertical mixer on the market. The Verti-Maxx with bull gear drive eliminates the need for planetary gearboxes and extra oil coolers on truck mount units and provide the following benefits:

The Verti-Maxx Truck Mount vertical
mixer will truly maximize feeding efficiency for your operation.
Available in mixing capacities from 424
to 1125 cubic feet.
ProTwin
Slinger Spreaders may be truck mounted for over-the-road
transport to the field. The standard truck mount spreader features an enclosed gear drive
with automotive driveline for smooth, quiet operation. An optional hydrostatic drive
utilizes a piston pump and motor with load-sensing capability to drive the input shaft of
the spreader. This drive is recommended for heavy-duty or continuous cycle applications
such as commercial hauling and some lime sludge operations. The truck
mounted Kuhn Knight ProTwin Slinger is available with capacities from 1,584 to 4,064
Gallons.
This
Commercial Box Spreader is designed for heavy-duty and heavy use applications
with many features to meet the demands for your operation.
The variable speed hydraulic apron drive allows the operator to control the spread rate and quickly unload manure in under three minutes. The hydraulically controlled, swing-out beater option allows the operator to remove large rocks from the spreader without leaving the truck cab. You can depend on the sturdy dual apron drive that provides each apron with a separate drive shaft for more dependable operation with heavy, dense material. A two-piece, solid poly floor requires less power for unloading and provides longer life.
Also there is an optional silage kit that converts the Commercial Box Manure Spreader into a live Floor Silage Box. Available in 20 Feet (600 bushel) and 22 Feet (700 bushel).
