IT'S MORE THAN JUST A BOX All KUHN Knight manure spreaders come with design features that are capable of handling your operation's workload. From the 320 cubic foot 1130 ProSpread to the 810 cubic foot PSC 181, KUHN Knight spreaders are built to last. 4 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. FEWER MOVING PARTS A hydraulically driven apron means fewer moving parts to worry about. This system provides independent operation of the beaters and apron, resulting in even, controlled spreading of many different types of solid materials and allows you to easily achieve targeted application rates. REDUCE WINTER FREEZE-DOWN The high-density, solid poly fl oor reduces friction and winter freeze-down to provide trouble-free service and long life. It offers more durability than individual tongue and groove boards and requires less power for unloading compared to other types of fl oors. REDUCED SOIL COMPACTION Large, high-fl otation tires provide a greater net load carrying capacity and low ground compaction even with the heaviest loads. When paired with a rugged tandem axle, even greater fl otation is provided. 5
TAILORED TO YOUR OPERATION Horizontal Beaters 10' Vertical Beaters 30' AccuSpread Discharge 50' HORIZONTAL BEATERS Heavy-duty rooster comb beaters are an economical option and provide an aggressive, narrow spread pattern that spreads at higher application rates for fast unloading. These beaters offer quality spreading performance and consistent material fl ow when spreading diffi cult materials, such as pen pack. HORIZONTAL BEATERS Horizontal beaters are most effectively used in spreading applications with dry, coarse materials such as pen pack or yard scrapings. They work well in situations where fast unloading and high application rates are desired. VERTICAL BEATERS VertiSpread vertical beaters provide quality spreading performance for a wider variety of dry materials, from tough materials like pen pack, to fi ner materials like dry dirt compost. They can provide the same fast unloading and high application rates as horizontal beaters, but with a wider spread pattern and more consistent material breakup. SPINNER DISCHARGE The AccuSpread spinner discharge offers consistent spreading of dry, fl owable materials such as dry dirt compost, poultry litter and lime sludge. It provides the widest, most uniform spread pattern available, and coupled with the use of the metering gate, is able to accurately spread nutrient-dense materials at low rates. WHICH BEATER OPTION IS BEST FOR MY OPERATION? High output capacity for fast unloading Works well when applying high application rates Narrow spread pattern VERTICAL BEATERS REPLACEABLE BEATER TEETH Heavy-duty, bolt-on rooster comb paddles are fully replaceable and provide enhanced spreading performance. SWING OUT BEATERS Hydraulic swing out beaters allow the operator to easily clear out rocks and other foreign objects. Hydraulic control provides the ability to swing the beaters out conveniently from the cab. (PSC Only) VertiSpread vertical beaters provide a consistent, wide 25 30 foot spread pattern with excellent material breakup, even at high application rates. The beaters are slanted forward and overlap in the center for enhanced distribution of even the toughest dairy and feedlot material. HORIZONTAL BEATERS VERTICAL BEATERS SPINNER DISCHARGE UNLOADING SPEED SPREAD PATTERN LOW RATES HIGH RATES BEDDING MATERIAL BREAK-UP Note: Beater assemblies on PS & PSC models can easily be removed and installed to save wear and tear on the beaters when stockpiling, providing versatility for your operation. STOCK PILING (W/O BEATERS) Very efficient and consistent spread pattern Works great for handling most types of manure Simple and durable beater drive RELIABLE PERFORMANCE IN DIFFICULT CONDITIONS Rugged, heavy-duty vertical beaters provide reliable performance in diffi cult conditions. An extra heavy-duty option is available, with hardened beater teeth and thicker, ½" fl ighting ( 3 8" standard) for enhanced durability and longer life in the most demanding commercial applications. LOW-MAINTENANCE DESIGN The integral gearbox provides a heavy-duty, low maintenance design without the use of chains and sprockets. This fully enclosed, modular design allows for the beaters to be overlapped, providing an even spread pattern with excellent material breakup. 6 7
SPINNER DISCHARGE The AccuSpread spinner discharge provides the widest and most uniform spread pattern, available even with tougher materials such as pen pack manure. This option offers consistent spreading of dry, fl owable materials up to a 60-foot spread width. EXCELLENT MATERIAL BREAKUP Horizontal beaters are fi tted with 88 two-sided, hardened cast teeth for excellent durability and effi cient material breakup. MATERIAL VERSATILITY Models, with an AccuSpread discharge, can spread wet, sticky litter, as well as dry materials without the bridging concerns of competitive V-bottom models. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MATERIAL High nutrient value components such as poultry litter Very accurate at low spread rates Handles free flowing material with a consistent unload rate 8 ADJUSTABLE LOWER DEFLECTOR The lower defl ector directs the fl ow of material onto the spinner discs for more precise spreading. This allows the operator to fi ne-tune the spreader for specifi c materials and desired applications. HYDRAULIC, SWING OUT DOOR This rear door provides a secure enclosure for the discharge system and easy access for any required maintenance. HYDRAULIC SWINGING ENDGATE The swinging endgate can be used with the horizontal and vertical beater options. This heavy-duty, welded endgate provides outstanding strength and durability. Hydraulic cylinders raise the endgate for optimum load clearance and when raised, it swings straight down to act as a debris defl ector. METERING GATE A heavy-duty metering gate provides enhanced control of the material fl ow on vertical and spinner machines. This accurate metering allows the ability to spread nutrient-dense materials at low rates to take best advantage of the nutrient value. A convenient indicator is located at the front of the unit for easy monitoring of the gate position. 9
PROSPREAD 1130 / 1140 RELIABLE PERFORMANCE The 1100 Series ProSpread apron box spreaders are built with tough, quality components and are the ideal tool to meet the rigorous solid material spreading demands of feedlot and dairy operations. The low profi le of these machines makes for easy loading using any skidsteer or loader tractor. The compact design is great for maneuvering around the farm and in the fi eld. The rooster comb beaters are specifi cally placed for a uniform spread pattern, excellent material breakup and dependable driveline operation. If you spread solid materials and want fast, reliable performance, the KUHN Knight 1100 Series ProSpread apron box spreaders are the machines for you. PROSPREAD PS 150 / 160 BUILT TO LAST! The PS 150 and 160 set the standard for reliability and spreading performance to meet the changing needs of livestock and dairy producers.

PROSPREAD PSC 161 / 171 / 181 A HEAVY-DUTY SPREADER FOR A HEAVY WORKLOAD 12 The PSC Series sets the standard for durability and versatility in the commercial box spreader class. Offering truck and trailer models across the line, and with three discharge options horizontal beaters, vertical beaters or a spinner discharge these high-capacity spreaders will effi ciently spread a broad range of materials. PSC models provide consistent, even spreading of almost any material, from pen pack and feedlot or dairy manure, to poultry litter, compost, bio-sludge and lime, as well as many other solid and fl owable materials. With their unmatched combination of reliability, versatility and quality spreading performance, there is a model to meet the needs of any operation. A SOLID FOUNDATION The heavy-duty undercarriage on trailer models provides a solid foundation to haul the heaviest loads. The rugged tandem axle adds strength and durability. It also provides greater fl otation and more oscillating capability over uneven terrain to help limit soil compaction. Standard, two-wheel hydraulic disc brakes on the PSC 171 and PSC 181 provide a reliable braking system. RUGGED, INNOVATIVE, SPLIT-APRON DRIVE With the innovative split-apron drive, each apron has a separate drive shaft, powered by a durable, effi cient parallel shaft gearbox. By splitting the drive, each individual chain only has to carry a quarter of the load, improving overall chain life. This more uniform loading of the apron chain also ensures that the apron shafts remain in line and do not twist due to uneven load distribution. 13
