Kuhn, in June, introduced its 5640 field cultivator line. The company says its new models build on the design of the existing 5635 models but add new features as well.
The French manufacturer’s new 5640s have a redesigned frame that “optimizes” weight and strength, allowing them to perform better in wet field conditions. Hydraulic positive stop depth control is now standard. It allows the operator to adjust the depth of each section independently.

The 5640 cultivators keep Kuhn’s floating hitch design, which lifts the gauge wheels off the ground during road transport, eliminating castor wobble at road speeds. The frame now has a narrower transport width as well.
There is a choice of spring or K-Tine mounts fitted with either edge-on or flat shanks. There are six different configurations of levelling attachments, including a new anti-tangle, five-row spike tooth harrow and a new optional hydraulic reel lift. The company claims these levelling attachments can easily handle both heavy residue and wet conditions.
Kuhn has added two wider working widths at the top end of the 5640 line, 56- and 60-foot models. In all, the 5640 models are available in 20.5- to 60.5-foot working widths.
