Designed with You in MindTwo trailer models available, the VSL 242 and VSL 250, offer capacities that range from 420 to 550 ft³.
KUHN Knight VSL 200 Series Vertical Maxx® single-auger mixers are designed for small- to mid-sized dairy and beef producers. Two models, ranging from 420 to 550 cubic foot capacities (with extensions), offer the versatility of front, side or rear door unloading. The low-profile design is perfect for quick and easy loading. The proven cone-auger design reduces horsepower requirements, results in more efficient movement of feed and enhances final cleanoff of the auger when unloading.
Superior Feed MovementCone-Style Auger & Kicker Design
Cone-style augers provide superior feed movement for faster, more complete mixing and processing. The smooth, continuous auger flighting (1) creates a rolling feed action that improves mixing. The top cover of the auger has a steep angle to aid in bale movement when processing round bales and to prevent feed from sitting on top of the auger between mixes. The straight bolt-on kicker (2) provides a fast and even discharge. Each lead flight is equipped with a cast iron scraper (3) that pulls material away from the tub walls into the auger for a better overall mix. Both the kicker and scraper are bolt-on attachments, making replacement very easy to save you precious time.
Hardened KnivesLarge, 15” or 20”, replaceable hay cutting knives are available to best handle the material to be processed. The knives have two positions to adjust the aggressiveness of the knife angle. Versatility of knife length, angle and position allow for an optimal setting with a wide variety of ration ingredients.
- A: Knife set in for slicing and cutting
- B: Knife set out for grabbing and tearing
The adjustable hay stops provide flexibility in processing to provide you with the cut length necessary to reach the optimal nutritional value you’re striving for. This adjustability makes hay processing more efficient and helps minimize overprocessing.
Large Discharge DoorsFor unmatched feed flow, these mixers feature a large discharge door. The large openings also help ensure less binding in high hay rations, especially when discharging high-roughage rations. Upgrades to the door pivot linkage allow for smooth operation of the door.
