2025 Kuhn Gladiator® 1210M 830F

The 3-point mounted Gladiator® is available with 4 to 16 rows, with 30" to 40" spacing. The innovative folding toolbar increases transport stability and reduces folded dimensions. A variety of fertilizer options are available to suit a wide range of strip-till nutrient programs.

The KUHN Krause Gladiator® 1210M mounted strip-tillage system offers on-row conservation tillage, precise nutrient placement and non-stop seedbed conditioning to help progressive producers manage input costs. The innovative fixed-frame toolbar and ST-PRO™ II row units are easy to adjust and require no daily maintenance. They contour to the ground’s surface conditions allowing the shanks to consistently operate at your predetermined depth. A variety of dry and/or liquid fertilizer options are available. This is more than just strip-till, this is precision nutrient and seedbed management.

Strip-till allows precision tillage on 1/3 of the land while retaining all residue between the strips. This improves moisture infiltration into the strip and reduces rainfall runoff from the field, while providing a warm seedbed for early season planting. Residue between the strips helps retain moisture during dry times of the growing season while suppressing weed growth.

Strip-till delivers higher yield with precise fertilizer placement and provides greater economic returns as compared to broadcast fertilizer.

Strip-till demonstrates positive results for banding fertilizer vs broadcast through both yield increases and economic benefits. The 2023 results showed economic advantage in almost every fertilizer rate reduction study.

Strip-till delivers sustainable fertilizer efficiency by allowing farmers to utilize less fertilizer while improving yield with greater economic returns as compared to broadcast fertilizer.

The three-year study also shows significant advantage in reducing fertilizer rates by 25%. This indicates significant savings and efficiencies that can be realized by farmers utilizing the Gladiator to place nutrients precisely where the plants can utilize them.

The row unit is the heart of the machine. ST-PRO II row units are easily adjusted without tools in a matter of minutes, allowing them to be quickly setup to suit field conditions and ensure continued superior strip formation from field to field. KUHN Krause ST-PRO II row units have no grease zerks, therefore require no daily maintenance further saving time and increasing productivity throughout the working day.
