Maxima 2 M Kuhn Maxima 2 M Specifications & Technical Data (2007—2018)

3. your working conditions are versatile ... so is the maxima 2.

With the MAXIMA 2 range KUHN offers a wide choice of frame widths and equipment. This allows you to adapt to different seeding conditions. These precision seed drills are suitable for a big range of crops in all tillage systems, in particular for minimum tillage.

Stable and rigid machines

Stable and rigid machines have been a main goal during the development of the MAXIMA 2. One part, which fulfils these requirements, is the strong single bar frame of the MAXIMA 2 M.

For both large and small operations

The machine is available in widths from 2.50 up to 9.00 m. The H-beam is fitted to all models. This compact seed drill, with its reduced overhang, is available with up to 18 rows in the beetroot version.

Telescopic single: for reduced transport width!

The telescopic MAXIMA 2 TS (single bar) has a road width of 3.30 to 3.50 m depending on spacing. Available with wheels at the front, it can be used to work under stony conditions without disturbing seeding operations. Available with 6, 7 and 8 rows, distances and configurations can be modified for seeding different crops with different inter-row spacings using a precision seed drill.

For stony conditions

Front wheels are suitable for stony conditions, because they avoid stones getting jammed between the seeding units. The front wheel version is also suitable for soils with high load capacity.

Telescopic double: the winner on small roads!

Think about the small villages and narrow roads, you have to pass on the way to the field: The transport width is a big issue. With only 3.00 m the MAXIMA 2 TD adapts perfectly to European transport regulations. It is available with rear wheels for soils with low load capacity as well as front wheels. The double telescopic MAXIMA 2 has optional fertilization features and an on-board microgranulator.

Telescopic double large: for tractors with large track widths

The MAXIMA 2 TD L can seed seven rows of either 70 or 75 cm. In both configurations you are able to adapt the machine to tractors with wide tyres. Consequently, the maize growth is not inhibited anymore by soil compaction in the future row. Front wheels guarantee a reliable work of all elements in stony conditions. The double telescopic TD L has a transport width of 3.30 m.

Telescopic with adjustable spacing: seeding 45 to 80 cm with one machine!

The MAXIMA 2 TI and TI M are the ONLY seed drills with spacings adjustable in just a few minutes. This allows farmers to use the same machine for several crops. The MAXIMA 2 TI is available with six rows and spacings from 45 to 80 cm, in order to meet the demand of growers of sugar beet, maize or rape. The obligation to seed six rows derives from the 6-row beet lifters. The double telescopic MAXIMA 2 has optional fertilization and on-board microgranulator features with a transport width of only 3.00 m.

Change configurations in the blink of an eye!

With MAXIMA 2 TI M you will achieve high hectare outputs even when working with small row spacings. This machine was especially designed for regions, where rape, maize and sunflower are grown. It is possible to change from six rows with 70 to 80 cm to seven rows with spacings of 50 to 65 cm.

Folding: ideal for large farms and contractors

The folding MAXIMA 2 R is available in 8, 9, 11 and 12 row versions, with 3.00 m road dimensions. Combined with a frontal hopper, it is the ideal tool for large areas.

MAXIMA 2 RX seed drill

This MAXIMA 2 RX seed drill is available with eight rows and a working width of 6.00 m. Still, it can be folded to 3.00 m for transport. The chassis was planned to fit front wheels for stony conditions.

Front wheels

Its weight-bearing wheels set at the front of the frame facilitate the passage of stones between the seeding units. This setup is also suitable for heavy soils.

Folding large width: seed up to seven hectares per hour!

With a working width of up to 9.00 m, the MAXIMA 2 RXL ensures exceptional output. This seed drill is composed of 9, 10 or 12 seeding units for seeding crops with 70, 75 or 80 cm spacings. The power requirements of the tractor start at only 150 hp.

Wide working, small transport width

To facilitate transport, the frame has been designed with double telescopic bars for a width of 3.00 m, or a single bar, which is foldable, for a width of 4.40 m.

For best ground adaptation

Depending on the configuration, the machine can be fitted with front or rear wheels. This ensures the best possible ground adaptation and avoids lifting of single seeding units.

Maxima 2 tm

The MAXIMA 2 TM has been designed for tractors with low power from 80 hp. The trailed single bar drills are available with three to eight rows, depending on the inter-row spacing.

Maxima 2 tt

To reduce its road dimensions, the Maxima 2 TT is available in six rows with the possibility to reduce the dimensions to 3.50 m.

Maxima 2 trx

The new MAXIMA 2 TRX is designed for high daily outputs during seeding of maize and sunflower. 16 or 18 rows within a working width of 12 m are possible.

Maximum storage at equilibrium

The KUHN TF 1500 can be adapted for spreading fertilizer together with a MAXIMA 2 precision seed drill. This combination provides a perfectly balanced load between front and rear axle of the tractor.

Monitoring Seeding Operation

The MAXIMA 2 seed drills are available with different electronic control boxes. From the simple seed passage control in the seeding units to the precise seed population sown per hectare, KUHN offers a range of reliable open-ended control boxes.

KMS 548 One Control Box for All Functions

It performs the following functions: display of momentary population, row by row and on average (in thousands of seeds per hectare or the centimetre spacing between seeds) With the “bargraph” display you get a direct and quick overview of the functional status of all rows. An error in one row can be clearly identified. partial, seasonal and total hectare counters.

Electronic Disengagement Box

Especially interesting for field edges, the KMD 112 control box shuts off each row separately using lever-operated switches. Available for seed drills with up to twelve disengageable rows. The KMD 112 can be coupled to the KMS 208 passage controller or the KMS 412 seed controller. This coupling is used to check that the disengageable units are working properly.

ISOBUS Compatibility with AEF Certification

Make savings by shutting off rows automatically per GPS. Compatible with the major terminals on the market (JD, Muller Electronique, Fendt...).

Ensured successful germination

The closing discs are very important in dry, clayey soils or in plant residues. It moves fine soil towards the furrow for seed cover. It narrows the furrow edges and optimises seeding in min-till methods where little fine soil in available. It corrects the lack in cover when seeding on slopes or bends.

The striger

The Striger is composed of soil tilling units mounted on springs for improved ground contour adaptation and easier passage in stony conditions. Composed of an opening disc which prepares the way for the tine, it is followed by a star-shaped trash remover, a tine, two wavy discs and finally a tamping wheel.

Precision in depth

Irregular emergence of seedlings can have different reasons, among them an inconsistent seeding depth. Moreover, an insufficient coulter pressure and consolidation can inhibit constant emergence rates, especially on moist soils. KUHN provides important features to solve these problems and guarantees a consistent emergence along the row.

Kuhn patent

The significant overlap of the three beams with the robust H-profile gives the frame exclusive rigidity. At maximum opening, the two outer beams overlap the central beam along more than half of their length.

Strip till: the future in the row!

STRIGER, the STRIP TILL concept by KUHN: This new tilling tool prepares only the future seeding line for seeding crops in rows. The field's yield potential is maintained while reducing the tilled surface by 80%, thus making significant savings. Tilling takes place in one or two passages. Once the soil has dried, you can seed using a conventional seed drill such as the MAXIMA 2 or PLANTER 3.

Uniform supply for all seeding units

An even air flow is necessary to achieve a precise and uniform seeding rate at each unit. An air duct supplies air to each unit. Its length between the metering unit and the blower always remains constant.

Rear closing wheels consolidate as you want

No matter which type of roller is used, a lever adjusts the consolidation pressure. It simply has to be positioned in one of the notches. The setting can be easily reproduced.

Notched selector: easy adjustment

Mounted eccentrically, a notched selector provides fast positioning on the distribution disc. It also avoids that one hole is occupied by two seeds. A hatch visible from behind can be used to check the setting.

Easy to use: disengagement of each seeding unit

A handle is used to manually disengage each unit. Once disengaged, it is used to turn the distribution disc to check the fixed selector setting. It also houses a shear bolt protecting the unit.

Headland turns easy to perform

There is no need for you to reverse when turning on the headland. This is because the outer wheels of the seeding units bar are fixed. So the whole machine is able to turn around these wheels.

Easy maintenance

You can easily remove the metering unit. This facilitates a complete emptying of the hopper as well as maintenance jobs.

User-friendly operating menu

Developed in association with users, the KMS 412 operating menu is easy to understand and to use. It helps users with everything, even machine adjustment.

No risk of wear

The door of the distribution box opens with a single quick-release handle. It is mounted with a spring hinge. Its tightness is controlled by constant pressure on the seal. You can be sure: There is no risk of wear due to incorrect tightening.

Big hopper

The 52 litre hoppers will help you to save a lot of re-fill stops, as each one can be filled with approximately two bags of maize.

A well thought-out fertilization concept

The MAXIMA 2 TRX is equipped with a large 4,300 l fertilizer hopper. Fertilizers are deposited 5 cm away from the seeding line, thus eliminating the risk of seed burn. The fertilizer is metered by two cells and distribution heads for more precise and uniform metering.

Fluted metering for perfect distribution

Fluted metering ensures a perfectly uniform and smooth distribution throughout the field. Application rates from 50-700 kg/ha are possible. The separate units are continuously adjustable. The polyurethane groove eliminates any risk of abrasion of the fertilizer.

Maximum autonomy and minimal time loss

With the MODULINER hopper for fertilizer storage, you gain maximum autonomy on big acreages and save a lot of refills.

Practical to load and empty

A single hopper supplies up to nine rows. Application rate is accurate and reliable no matter what type of microgranulate is used, because it uses fluted metering units.

No risk of bottle necks

Pneumatic transport ensures a regular supply of microgranules with no risk of clogging in the tubes no matter how many rows the seed drill has.
