Kuhn has redesigned its Knight SL 100 Series ProTwin Slinger manure spreaders.

“The all-new, fully adjustable shroud improves material breakup for more consistent, accurate spreading,” the company says on its website.

The spreaders come in capacities ranging from 1,000 gallon SL 100 to the 2,400 gallon SL 124. The spreaders have a wider discharge and can provide faster loading than its predecessor.

The Knights feature a welded V-body tank, capable of holding dry and wet materials. Steep, slanted sides and a twin-auger delivery provide a consistent and even flow.

The twin-auger design helps prevent material bridging. A raised right auger pushes materials rearward while the left auger pushes manure towards the discharge door.

An easy access drive compartment allows farmers to perform simple inspections of drive components and easy access for any additional maintenance. Gas-charged cylinders hold the lid in place and out of the way.

The undercarriage is designed to ensure intensive use in service and reliability in difficult conditions, even when transporting manure loaded with sand. The single axle configurations are available on SL models 110 and 114, while the SL models 114, 118 and 124 can be equipped with tandem axles.
