The KUHN Krause Excelerator® XT 8010 features the proven Excalibur® VT (vertical tillage) blades configured in a combination spacing (7" front and 8" rear) to meet the challenges of heavy GMO residue. New mid-mount tines control and redistribute residue followed by the exclusive Star Wheel™ treaders providing soil and residue mixing, clod size reduction and residue anchoring. Heavy-duty 24/7®® conditioning reels provide that superior seedbed you have come to expect from the Excelerator.

Exclusive 5-Step Process

8010 sil with numbers.png

Exclusive 5-Step Process

  1. Capture and Slice
    Excalibur® VT (Vertical Tillage) blades, with their distinctive scalloped edge, capture and slice residue into planter-manageable sizes. This exclusive, 32-flute design easily penetrates soil, creates small clod size and begins the soil and residue mixing process. 7 inch blade spacing on front gang enhances optimal soil displacement.
  2. Control and Distribute
    Adjustable mid-mounted tines on 7 inch spacing drive soil and residue to ensure consistent flow of material. During this process, additional clod size reduction takes place, as well as improved residue distribution across the width of the operation, resulting in more consistent soil and residue conditions.
  3. Cut and Remove
    In this high-speed process, adjustable gang angles with Excalibur VT blades (on 8” spacing), remove the maximum amount of uncut soil at shallow depth settings, while minimizing furrowing and ridging for a smooth field finish. The adjustable gang angle gives you the choice to move soil laterally or to leave more residue.
  4. Mix and Anchor
    Exclusive to KUHN Krause, rotary Star Wheel™ treaders aggressively mix soil and residue, pulverize large clods, remove soil from disturbed root balls and anchor residue into the soil surface.
  5. Size and Firm
    The proven 24/7® soil conditioning reel delivers clod sizing and firming for this high-speed operation.

Gang Angle Indicator.png

Adjustable Gang Angles

True vertical tillage is maintained with the 1° to 5° gang angle, while the XTended 6° to 8° gang angle offers more aggressive tillage action. Optional on-the-go hydraulic adjustment allows the operator to adjust front and rear gangs on the same angle or independently, varying front to rear angles to match a variety of agronomic goals. These shallow angles prevent soil roll and inversion, distinguishing the Excelerator’s performance from competitive units based on older disc harrow technology with typical gang angles from 10° to 22°.

Excalibur® VT Blade Spacing

Proven 22", 32-flute Excalibur® VT blades cut residue and maintain a sharp edge over time. The Excalibur blades are configured in a combination spacing with 7" front spacing to enhance optimal soil displacement, while 8"rear spacing maintains performance in adverse conditions.  The unique design of the Excalibur VT blades minimizes furrowing and ridging, leaving a smooth field pass-to-pass.

Mid-Mounted Tines

Adjustable mid-mounted tines on 7-inch spacing drive soil and residue to the ground to ensure consistent flow of material.  During this process, additional clod size reduction takes place, as well as improved residue distribution across the width of the machine, resulting in more consistent soil and residue conditions.

Quality Finishing

Star Wheels Field.jpg

Exclusive Star Wheel™ Treaders

Aggressively mix soil and residue, pulverize large clods, level and anchor residue into the soil surface. This action protects residue from blowing winds or washing rains, and begins the decomposition of residue into valuable organic matter.

The Star Wheel treaders assist in breaking out any remaining uncut soil between blade paths providing a smooth, even surface for planter row units to place seeds consistently in the seed zone. Constant flow hydraulic-adjustable gangs are spring cushioned to contour over varying field conditions, evenly distributing residue across the soil surface for a uniform finish.

Heavy-Duty 24/7® Conditioning Reel

The proven 24/7 soil conditioning reel delivers clod sizing and firming for this high-speed operation. The 24/7 reel also offers the convenience of “floating” with a simple in-field adjustment, allowing continued operation in higher soil moisture conditions. Two heavy-duty reel options are available. Choose flat blades for maximum clod sizing in hard soil conditions or round bars for increased soil firming in loamy soil conditions, this effective component completes a superior finish to any field.

Equipment

StarWheelHydraulics.png

Star Wheel™ Hydraulics

Live hydraulic action keeps treaders in contact with soil contours maintaining uniform operational pressure across the width of the machine. This allows for superior soil leveling and residue mixing.
HydraulicWingDownPressure.jpg

Hydraulic Wing Down Pressure

The Excelerator® features standard constant-flow hydraulic down pressure. This feature can add additional downforce to each wing via the wing fold cylinders. This feature stabilizes each wing section during high-speed operation.
GuardianHitch.png

Guardian Hitch™

This exclusive option guards against stress on the tractor drawbar and implement frame. Lateral drawbar forces are transferred through the hitch pivot where shock load from steering input is dampened by urethane blocks. Choose from the articulating ball Cat III, IV or V double-bolt, cast hitch, depending on model.

Maintenance-Free Bearings

No daily grease maintenance required for the new PEER® TILLXTREME™ maintenance-free bearings, now incorporated into the Excalibur® VT gang assemblies, Star Wheel™ treaders and 24/7® conditioning reels. Spherical pivot bearing for each walking beam assembly requires no grease, along with rocker and wing hinge pivots.
8010 WalkingBeams.png

Walking Beams

Standard heavy-duty walking beams on the center section feature heavy-duty wheel hubs, with “slip-in” spindles for easy servicing.  Walking beam assemblies feature spherical pivot bearings requiring no daily grease maintenance. Walking beams on each wing have 6-bolt hubs, with bolt-in spindles as standard equipment.
