High precision spinner spreading. Reduce your input cost and maximize yield potential

Modern growers have a toolbox full of options for applying fertilizer. Many favor the simplicity and high overall field efficiency of dry spin spreading. However, the traditional spreaders commonly used today are not enough for progressive operations demanding precision control of product rate and placement to maximize profit.

Using spread patterns tailored to the individual product and advanced methods for precision application rate control, KUHN offers spinner spreaders that lead the industry in maximizing yield potential while reducing input costs. EMC rate-control technology, standard variable-rate capability, and dynamic section control deliver a quick return on investment for any size operation. Furthermore, this level of precision allows field data to be utilized to its fullest extent for nutrient-management decisions.
