    triple TREAT

    Often, testing the big gear takes you to settings as impressive as the machine itself. This was certainly the case when we turned up in North Otago to check out the Kuhn Euromix 3370, where the 33 cubic metre mixer wagon was flat stick feeding a massive herd of 1,500 cows.

    It was hard to know what to be more impressed by: the machine itself, the sheer size of a 1,500 cow barn or the amount of time and feed it takes to keep the hungry mouths fed.

    We run a relatively intensive system at home in Taranaki, so I know first-hand just how much big cows can eat – often you feel like they’re bottomless pits. With the sheer scale of this dairy operation, it’s obvious how the upgrade from the Kuhn twin auger machine to the newer Kuhn triple auger wagon is helping make savings of up to three hours a day.
