Kuhn Farm Machinery now includes a retrofit boom extension option for its Levsak 1000 hydraulic big bag lifter, allowing 600kg bags to be loaded into all the company’s twin disc and pneumatic spreaders.

With the extension fitted, the Levsak’s lifting capacity is restricted to 600kg.

With the extension fitted, the Levsak’s lifting capacity is restricted to 600kg – as opposed to 1000kg without it – but it extends the telescopic reach to 2.75m and increases the maximum ground to hook clearance sufficiently to accommodate the larger bag sizes.

Strength and long-term reliability of the Levsak result from the use of heavy gauge high elastic limit steel in the construction of the monobeam mast and the telescopic arm.

Other design features on the implement include a pressure limiter that allows adjustment of the arm lowering speed (to avoid the risk of shock loading), roller mounting of the telescopic extension to avoid friction and minimise wear and maintenance, and a pivoting hook to make loading safer and easier.

The Levsak 1000 is designed for the standard category 2 tractor linkage and has its own adjustable three-point linkage for close coupling of all fertiliser spreaders.

The price of the Levsak 1000 complete with the extension for 600kg bags is £2,023.
