Kuhn VS143

Kuhn VS 100 Series 143 Trailer

Three models available, the VS 127, VS 135 and VS 143, offer capacities that range from 270 to 480 ft³. To best meet your mixing needs, choose from trailer or stationary models.

KUHN Knight VS 100 Series single-auger Vertical Maxx® mixers are an affordable, high-quality option designed for small cow/calf, backgrounder and dairy operations that process and mix high percentages of hay. The VS 100 Series mixers can mix a wide variety of feedstuffs, even hard to handle round bales, large square bales and baleage. The redesigned cone-shaped auger and angled top cover promote consistent material flow and improved cleanoff. The smaller diameter auger results in a lower horsepower requirement for more efficient, economical operation. Left, right, or a combination of left and right side discharges, along with a variety of conveyor options are available to meet the needs of your operation and place feed exactly where your animals need it.

Cone-style augers provide superior feed movement for faster, more complete mixing and processing. The smooth, continuous auger flighting (1) creates a rolling feed action that improves mixing. The top cover of the auger has a steep angle to aid in bale movement when processing round bales and to prevent feed from sitting on top of the auger between mixes. The straight kicker (2) provides a fast and even discharge. Each lead flight is equipped with a cast iron, bolt-on scraper (3) that pulls material away from the tub walls into the auger for a better overall mix.

The completely welded body provides superior strength and durability for long life without cracking at bolted joints. The reinforced floor and body help ensure dependable service and long life.

For operations looking to maximize feeding efficiency and mixer throughput, the VS 100 Series single-auger mixers are also available in a stationary configuration. Stationary mixers are ideal for producers with a centralized feeding location, who utilize a mobile feed delivery system such as conveyors or feed carts.

Stationary mixers share the same cone-shaped augers, large unloading doors and fully welded tub design, similar to their trailer counterparts.

The VS 100 Series stationary models include a manual shift, 2-speed gearbox for high and low settings, along with the pulley and motor mount. For single motor options, required horsepower depends on the mixer capacity and load size. For reduced amperage draw at startup or for customers on a single phase power, a double mounting option is also available.
