Kuhn launches advanced new-generation trailed sprayer range
31st October 2025
Kuhn Farm Machinery has revealed the Karan high-capacity trailed sprayer range aimed at farmers and contractors requiring high daily spraying outputs and innovative technology to improve application accuracy.
Initially available as the mid-range Power model featuring steel and aluminium boom width options from 24 to 39 metres, the Karan range will extend to basic and high-end models, offering boom widths from 18m to 45m, and tank capacities of 4,500, 5,200, 6,000 and 8,000 litres. The Karan offers choice and versatility, with configurations compatible with the simplest operations through to the most advanced requirements, the manufacturer confirmed.
Edd Fanshawe, Kuhn’s arable product specialist, said: “The new Karan has been four years in development, with extensive field testing, to ensure we’re bringing a product to users that will compete at the high-capacity end of the trailed sprayer market. The design of the machine is 99% new and is specifically aimed at maximising spraying time and accuracy.”
Central to the new range of Karan trailed sprayers is Kuhn’s new Eagle automatic contour control system – an advanced technology package that uses ultrasonic sensors to constantly monitor and adjust boom position in relation to the spray target.
The manufacturer explained that this highly adaptable system adjusts to varying crop height or terrain (from a height of 30cm), ensuring optimum distances are always maintained.
The Eagle system significantly reduces the manual input required by the operator and, alongside a premium suspension design, allows precision spraying at speeds of up to 25kph. Eagle’s capabilities are also integrated with other Kuhn innovations onto the Karan sprayer, including 25cm nozzle spacing and the I-Spray spot application technology.
What’s included?
The Autoset solution system enables tank filling at 900 litres/minute and spraying at up to 500 litres/minute, whilst rapid and thorough main tank cleaning is made possible by twin 360-degree rotating nozzles. A newly developed induction hopper is included as standard on the Karan, offering a rapid intake capacity of up to 220 litres/minute.
This system can be enhanced with a closed transfer system, allowing agrochemicals to be inducted without any operator contact. Existing Manuset or automated Diluset provide further control options, Kuhn said.
Precision spraying capability on Karan sprayers is achieved through incorporation of Kuhn’s established Autospray PWM (pulse width modulation) technology. This system, which utilises continuous high-pressure circulation, allows features such as independent nozzle control and maintains consistent droplet size across varying operating speeds. The Autospray precision application system is complemented by XEA3 aluminium booms offering 50- or 25-centimetre nozzle spacings, the manufacturer said.
Kuhn added that ease of handling and manoeuvrability were key considerations in the development of the Karan, with an unladen weight of 5,690kg and a compact overall length of 5m on the 5200 and 6000 models. With a steering axle angle of up to 28 degrees and a range of VF tyres – soil compaction and crop damage are kept to a minimum.
An integrated winch allowing pump removal in just 15 minutes and a removable sump and tank roof providing access to internal components without entering the tank ease routine maintenance.
A centred vertical hydraulic stand makes hitching of the Karan a simple operation, and there is an optional hydraulic pump drive that offers additional coupling and driving benefits. Control systems have been designed to provide all essential information as clearly and intuitively as possible, with bespoke screen displays for use in-cab or on the machine, Kuhn concluded.
The Karan will be on display at LAMMA, and a machine will be available in the UK for demonstrations during spring 2026.
