Kuhn North America introduces the Montag 2208 dry fertilizer system. The 2208, based on the popular Gen II platform, is equipped with two 50-cubic-foot tanks (total capacity about 3.5 tons) and is available for four-, six- and eight-row three-point mounted machines. These features make it attractive to growers looking for a smaller-capacity fertilizer unit.
Although always fitted with two tanks, the 2208 can be ordered with single-product metering for reduced cost or with dual-product metering, bringing the benefits of the Gen II product range to smaller strip-till units for the first time. Section control is also optional, with the choice of one or two sections being offered.
All machines will be supplied with the Montag ISOBUS dry rate controller and ISOBUS scales as standard. As with other Montag dry fertilizer systems for the three-point mounted Gladiator, the 2208 will need to be mounted to a Montag steerable cart and towed behind the toolbar.
The Montag 2208 can apply fertilizer at rates up to 500 pounds pre acre per tank (maximum total rate: 800 pounds per acre). With no metering cartridges to change out, variation of application rate is stepless throughout the range.
As with all Montag products, the environment in which the 2208 will work has been taken into account throughout the design: All components that come into direct contact with fertilizer are manufactured from either plastic or food-grade stainless steel, and all other components are designed to be resistant to corrosion and provide many years of reliable service.
The Montag 2208 is available to order from Kuhn for use with four-, six- or eight-row three-point mounted Kuhn Krause Gladiators. Field install options are available for customers wishing to retrofit the 2208 to an existing 1205M or 1200M series Gladiator.
