The new KUHN Krause Dominator^® 4856 boasts product features designed to provide optimal compaction removal and residue handling while reducing maintenance time. The double rank subsoil shanks mounted on narrow 18” spacing deliver maximum subsoil fracture. The new reverse-tandem rear disc conditioner produces consistent soil leveling and residue incorporation for pass-to-pass uniformity, while the soil conditioning reel provides final clod sizing along with seedbed soil firming. Maintenance-free features are incorporated throughout the Dominator 4856, reducing the required daily lubrication service time, placing you in the field sooner and increasing operator productivity. Working widths range from 10’6” to 19’6” and models are available with 7, 9, 11 or 13 shanks.

Residue Management

Coulters

The Dominator^® 4856 coulter module features ultra-large 25" diameter coulters on 9" spacing for improved residue cutting versus discs. An innovative live hydraulic down pressure system allows the operator to set down pressure to match conditions. With constant down pressure the coulters automatically seek the depth that provides optimal cutting resistance. Coulter gangs are mounted with Rock-Flex bearing arms for added protection. Coulters feature PEER^® TILLXTREME™ maintenance-free bearings.

Shank Spacing

A split-the-middle shank pattern is achieved with two ranks of shanks on 18" spacing, none closer than 36" on the same beam. This provides maximum soil fracture and non-stop operation in heavy residue.

Fracture

Shanks

Choose from all deep-till parabolic shanks, a combination of deep-till and heavy-duty chisel shanks or all heavy-duty chisel shanks, depending on your agronomic needs.

Double K™ Points

Double K ripper points double the wear life of prior KUHN Krause Dominator fabricated steel and carbide-capped ripper points. Choose the 7” wing ripper point for optimal fracture or 2.5” straight ripper point for reduced draft.

Quality Finishing

Rear Disc Conditioner

The Dominator^® 4856 reverse-tandem disc conditioner system is hydraulically controlled to meet varying surface residue and leveling requirements. Front blades are 24" diameter fluted disc blades on 18" spacing and rear blades are 24" diameter fluted blades on 12" spacing with center-mounted 4 lobe feathering blades to reduce clod size and level soil. Rear discs feature individual Rock-Flex mounts for protection with rear mounts reversed to shed residue for superior performance even in heavy residue conditions.

Maintenance-Free Bearing Assembly

Double row, angular contact maintenance-free bearings feature heavy-duty, multi-lip seals that create a labyrinth system to keep contaminants out of the inner bearing. Each rear bearing has a machine forged spindle with a 5-bolt pattern for fast and easy service.

Heavy-Duty 24/7® Conditioning Reel

Choice of heavy-duty round bar or heavy-duty flat bar reel with Peer^® TillXtreme™ maintenance-free bearing assemblies mounted on heavy-duty ductile cast bearing arms provides aggressive clod sizing and soil firming. Optional hydraulic lift available.

Equipment

Tractor Interface Center

The tractor interface center prevents hydraulic hoses from binding in turns and adds operator convenience. Includes hose routing chart, color coded hose grips, storage for light hookup and owner’s manual.

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 cast hitch, depending on model.

Single-Point Depth Control – Standard

Shank depth is controlled conveniently with the crank-adjustable depth stop located at the front of the machine. View working depth on the easy-to-read scale.

Heavy-Duty Walking Beams – Standard

Standard on the center section of all Dominator models, heavy-duty 8-bolt hubs with slip-in wheel spindles secured by a single bolt ensure durability and easy maintenance.
