The KUHN Axis^® H-EMC-W .2 Series sets the industry standard in precision broadcast fertilizer spreading. These fertilizer spreaders come with a variety of options to meet the needs of a wide range of producers up to large row crop or commercial operations. The Axis 40.2 and 50.2 fertilizer spreader models offer the most precise rate control in the industry, thanks to exclusive EMC technology. Triangular spread patterns create wide working widths and precise material placement, even in breezier conditions. Vari-Spread Pro, Opti-Point and border control combine to significantly reduce over-application to save input costs. ISOBUS software is simple to set up and the machine can be run with any terminal that meets the appropriate industry standards. All this adds up to an outstanding return on investment for you, the producer.

CDA: Unrivaled Accuracy

Coaxial Distribution Adjustment System (CDA)

Different fertilizers, variable application rates, multiple working widths – your fertilizer spreader must quickly adapt to different needs. The CDA system, part of every KUHN Axis fertilizer spreader, helps meet these challenges while providing easy adjustments. There are two important features that make the CDA system unique:

The pivoting hopper base enables quick adaptation to various fertilizers and working widths by adjusting the drop point of the fertilizer onto the spreading discs.
Specially designed metering outlets, close to the center of the discs, allow multiple supply points to the paddles. This helps ensure constant fertilizer flow and an even spread pattern.

You can modify the working width in a few seconds by simply changing the drop point of the fertilizer onto the disc. This is done without any tools by pivoting the base – from the cab via the ISOBUS display. No paddles have to be adjusted and no manual contact with the fertilizer is required.

Extra-Slow Agitator

The agitator regulates the supply, promotes fertilizer flow and helps keep the fertilizer intact. This is because the agitators stop immediately when the metering outlets are closed, protecting the granules from unnecessary agitation. Rotating at only 17 RPM, they handle the granules gently to significantly reduce damage and prevent powder formation.

More Accuracy with Drop Guide

To ensure an accurate drop point of the fertilizer on the disc, a brush drop guide follows the fertilizer flow until it is caught by the paddles.

Reduced Turbulence

Airfin deflectors reduce turbulence generated by the rotating discs to ensure even fertilizer flow.

Consistent, Uniform Spreading

Electronic Mass Flow Control (EMC) System

Electronic Mass Flow Control (EMC) is a unique technology, well-established and proven after years of experience. The EMC system includes hydraulically driven spinner discs, which use proven electromagnetic torque sensors to determine the rate of material falling to each disc separately. This measurement, allows the system to compare the measured rate to the rate set by the operator. If the rate does not match, it automatically compensates by opening or closing the metering gates independently for each side.

Integrated Weighing System

Included on all AXIS H-EMC-W machines are high-capacity weigh cells. Through the ISOBUS terminal, these weigh cells inform the operator of the quantity of material remaining in the hopper and assist with recording "as applied" nutrient managment maps.

Hydraulic Disc Drive

The discs, driven by the tractor’s hydraulic system, are independent of the engine. As a result, their spread pattern remains constant and can be adjusted when driving to field points. Spreading with reduced engine speed is possible, which decreases overall fuel consumption.

Innovative Features to Meet Your Needs

Vari-Spread Pro

Vari-Spread Pro (Section Control) maintains the proper working width by changing the drop point and the spreading disc speed.

Metering outlets are opened and closed with GPS control. Even in field points Vari-Spread can shut off sections on the left and right sides at the ideal moment. The result is maximum comfort and the highest precision possible.

Opti-Point

On headlands, most systems typically start spreading at the same point, even though each fertilizer is different. Opti-Point now automatically determines the ideal point to open and close the metering outlets, according to settings made with the GPS system.

Vari-Spread and Opti-Point require the use of a GPS receiver and compatible ISOBUS terminal with the appropriate activations.

Border Spreading

On Axis H-EMC-W models, border spreading can be engaged on either the left- or right-hand side, via the control terminal.

Two modes of border control are available on either side. Yield mode focuses on feeding the outside rows of crop, while environmental mode virtually eliminates placing any product out side of your set field boundary.

Equipment

Axmat^® System

Available on the Axis^® 50.2 H-EMC-W, the optional Axmat^® system offers fully automatic, radar-based spreading adjustments. With 54 radar sensors positioned in a semi-circle below the spreading discs, Axmat scans the product leaving the disc paddles to recognize the location, character, and expansion of the spread pattern. Within fractions of a second, a new setting is calculated and applied if necessary. Thanks to the quick-reacting Speed Servo motors, the spread pattern is optimized every second by adjusting the drop point on each disc separately. With the Axmat system automatically detecting and compensating for changes in fertilizer properties and spreading conditions, you can be certain that nutrients are reaching all the right places in your fields.

ISOBUS Compatible

Operators have the ability to “plug and play” with existing ISOBUS virtual terminals for ultimate simplicity. The Axis^® is variable rate ready without needing an additional rate controller. The KUHN CCI 50 and the CCI 1200 ISOBUS terminals are available on the Axis fertilizer spreader.

Axis^® Cart – AC 100

The AC 100 Cart is a separate option to further enhance the versatility of any Axis spreader. The “hook and go” drawbar connection saves time, increases comfort, and allows tractors with lighter-duty hitches to safely utilize the machine. If a particular application calls for a mounted spreader, the Axis is easily removed from the cart. Single-axle versions have a track width adjustable from 80 – 90”, while tandem axle models offer fixed 90” spacing.

Fertilizer Level Windows

Two openings bring light inside the hopper so the fertilizer level is easily visible through the hopper windows.

Easy Hopper Access Ladder

Axis 50.2 models are equipped with ladders as standard for easier access to the hopper. For other models, ladders can be ordered as an option.

Parking Wheel

To be more flexible during attaching and detaching of your spreader, an optional parking wheel set is available. When mounted to the tractor, the wheels can be stored out of the way.

Quick Hitch

For 50.2 models, Quick Hitch brackets are available to allow the spreader to be attached to Cat. 3/4N Quick Hitches that meet current ASABE specifications. Mounting to a QH will move the spreader rearward approximately 12" and additional front weight is advised for ballasting.

Customer Spotlight: Axis^® 40.2/50.2 H-EMC-W

Nola Roberston Fairview, Alberta
“We’re looking at doing some in-season fertilizer top dressing. We can use it (KUHN Axis^® 50.2 H-EMC-W) for many different aspects of the farm. If we ever run into a situation where our seeding gets really wet we can spread canola if we need to. It gives us a full range of operation and is one more piece to the farming puzzle.”
