2025 Kuhn Apron Box Spreaders PS 250
Durability Runs in the FamilyThe KUHN Knight PS 250, 260, 270 & 280 ProSpread® apron box manure spreaders are high-capacity, non-commercial spreaders designed for feeder, cow/calf, and dairy operations that process a wide array of semi-solid and solid materials.
The KUHN Knight PS 250, 260, 270 & 280 ProSpread® apron box manure spreaders are high-capacity, non-commercial spreader designed for feeder, cow/calf, and dairy operations that process a wide array of semi-solid and solid materials.
Features may include:
All-Steel, Welded Construction- An all-steel construction provides the backbone and solid framework for these spreaders. This simple, yet effective design keeps the sides and beater panels aligned for the life of the machine. The all-welded construction includes a reinforced tongue that pulls directly from the axle for added strength and durability. An A-frame assembly keeps the sides and beater panels correctly aligned for strong box integrity. A round-tube bottom, on the rear, promotes self-cleaning by helping prevent material breakup.
- The sidewall flare provides greater heaping capacity without increasing the overall size of the machine. This makes the unit easier to load with the wider flotation tires. This design also allows the sidewalls to be supported by fewer, yet stronger exterior uprights. The box is constructed with 10-gauge steel to ensure a strong box sidewall.
- This simple design eliminates the need for extra chains and sprockets that are necessary for a side-mounted driveline. This simple design uses high-quality sealed bearings to provide reliable power delivery with lower maintenance requirements. The driveline is located underneath the unit, thus reducing the possibility of damage during loading.
- A two-piece, solid poly floor provides more strength and durability than individual tongue and groove boards while reducing friction. This means that less power is required for unloading versus alternative steel or wooden floors. The poly floor provides impact resistance when dropping heavy loads into the spreader. The two-piece design allows for expansion or contraction with changing temperatures. The plastic floor also reduces winter freeze-down issues to provide trouble-free service and long life.
- To ensure quality and dependability the PS 250, 260, 270 & 280 spreaders are equipped with a dual apron which helps to distribute the load more evenly. The 667 XH pintle apron chain provides increased strength with ease of maintenance and is accompanied by heavy-duty, self-cleaning sprockets welded to a 2” steel shaft. The dual apron features offset 1 ½” x 2” steel slats which provide more consistent feeding of material. The dual apron also offers increased rigidity and longevity for both apron chains and slats. A hydraulic-driven, direct-drive gearbox provides reliable power with low maintenance.
- PS 250 & 260 spreaders come with the choice of horizontal beaters, VertiSpread vertical beaters or an AccuSpread spinner module allowing you to customize your machine to your operation. The PS 270 & 280 are available with VertiSpread vertical beaters or the AccuSpread spinner discharge. To give you even greater machine versatility, beater modules can easily be removed for safe storage while stockpiling manure or when switching modules.
- An improved beater location on the PS 250, 260, 270 & 280 provides an enhanced spreading pattern by streamlining material flow from the apron to the beaters.
