Kuhn expands its Megant tine drill range
2nd September 2025
Kuhn Farm Machinery has confirmed that two wider models of the manufacturer’s Megant tine drill have joined the single 6m model already in production.
The 7.2m, 722 R, and the 8m, 802 R, mounted drills include many of the same features as the existing 602 R model but feature wider working widths to increase pass-to-pass output.
The 802 R can achieve 8ha/hr, while the 7.2m model is compatible with 36m sprayer widths, allowing symmetrical drilling and tramlining over five passes.
Kuhn’s Megant range
Kuhn’s Megant range has a low power requirement, with 180hp needed for the 7.2m model, and the 8m model requiring 200hp.
The models feature a single 1,800-litre hopper, with an optional SH 1120, 110-litre hopper, for drilling small seeds in the same pass. Both hoppers use the same seed distribution flow and outlets to maintain simplicity.
The Megant offers growers the option to drill in a variety of soil conditions, with a staggered tine layout over four rows allowing trash and sticky soils to flow easily, Kuhn explained.
Reversible forward-facing coulters, straight coulters, or 12mm tines are available, while the four front wheels (six or eight are optional) achieve a consistent seeding depth.
Kuhn’s Vistaflow universal tramlining and blockage monitoring system is also an option.
The two new models will be in full production from spring 2026.
