Kuhn M EMC

[legin]

looking at one of these at the moment. If we buy one with emc do you need a weigh cell as well or is it a luxury ? Thoughts please.

 

[agcon1]

ours has both, had it 3 years no problems yet, didn't know you could get emc without weigh cells???

Was told by Kuhn that the weigh cells are only used for hopper contents only and not for calibration and rate adjustment, that is done by the EMC system

Go for H EMC you'll not regret it the hydraulic is a far better machine.

I really miss having hydraulic now I'm on a pto machine

You'll not need the weigh cells other than to tell you exactly how much is in a part load

Also been looking at one of these at the moment and would be keen to know other people’s thoughts . Also looking at kv

I went from Kuhn h emc to kv the kv is a superior machine in every way other than the h emc bit I liked it for monitoring blockages in either side and the fact it slows one disc for headlands it's a cleaner machine as your not throwing fert through the deflector and smashing it up. But on definitely has the Kuhn beat for spread pattern

Is the h emc a lot more expensive than pto versions?

No idea but it's a lot better you can run along at very low revs or flat out to climb a hill and no change in disc speed at all

Yes, quite a fair bit more.
I have an emc pto version and I have weigh cells on it, find it very useful, mainly if I have a part load after doing a field, I can see exactly how many Ha coverage it will do, if it's a small field I can up or lower the rate to ensure the spreader is empty and the field done.
I run mine through a Trimble 750 and it is a joy to use.
Only issue I have had was an actuator go after only 47hrs use, not got the bill yet mind.

I believe they're not using actuator's anymore but servos (what ever they are) but meant to be better. Still not decided about weigh cell.
