2025 Kuhn Excelerator® XT 8010 11

The Excelerator® XT 8010 provides XTended versatility. True vertical tillage is maintained with the 1° to 5° gang angle, while the XTended 6° to 8° gang angle offers more aggressive tillage action.

The KUHN Krause Excelerator® XT 8010 features the proven Excalibur® VT (vertical tillage) blades configured in a combination spacing (7" front and 8" rear) to meet the challenges of heavy GMO residue. New mid-mount tines control and redistribute residue followed by the exclusive Star Wheel™ treaders providing soil and residue mixing, clod size reduction and residue anchoring. Heavy-duty 24/7® conditioning reels provide that superior seedbed you have come to expect from the Excelerator.

Features may include:

Capture and Slice

• Excalibur® VT (Vertical Tillage) blades, with their distinctive scalloped edge, capture and slice residue into planter-manageable sizes. This exclusive, 32-flute design easily penetrates soil, creates small clod size and begins the soil and residue mixing process. 7 inch blade spacing on front gang enhances optimal soil displacement.

• Adjustable mid-mounted tines on 7 inch spacing drive soil and residue to ensure consistent flow of material. During this process, additional clod size reduction takes place, as well as improved residue distribution across the width of the operation, resulting in more consistent soil and residue conditions.

• In this high-speed process, adjustable gang angles with Excalibur VT blades (on 8” spacing), remove the maximum amount of uncut soil at shallow depth settings, while minimizing furrowing and ridging for a smooth field finish. The adjustable gang angle gives you the choice to move soil laterally or to leave more residue.

• Exclusive to KUHN Krause, rotary Star Wheel™ treaders aggressively mix soil and residue, pulverize large clods, remove soil from disturbed root balls and anchor residue into the soil surface.

• The proven 24/7® soil conditioning reel delivers clod sizing and firming for this high-speed operation.

Manage Residue

True vertical tillage is maintained with the 1° to 5° gang angle, while the XTended 6° to 8° gang angle offers more aggressive tillage action. These shallow angles prevent soil roll and inversion, distinguishing the Excelerator’s performance from competitive units based on older disc harrow technology with typical gang angles from 10° to 22°.

Proven 22", 32-flute Excalibur® VT blades cut residue and maintain a sharp edge over time. The Excalibur blades are configured in a combination spacing with 7" front spacing to enhance optimal soil displacement, while 8"rear spacing maintains performance in adverse conditions. The unique design of the Excalibur VT blades minimizes furrowing and ridging, leaving a smooth field pass-to-pass.

Adjustable mid-mounted tines on 7-inch spacing drive soil and residue to the ground to ensure consistent flow of material. During this process, additional clod size reduction takes place, as well as improved residue distribution across the width of the machine, resulting in more consistent soil and residue conditions.
