The pull-type Gladiator® is available in 8, 12 & 16 row models with 30" row spacing. 445 metric tires and heavy-duty walking axles allow up to 9 tons of dry or 1,000 gallons of liquid fertilizer to be carried on the chassis.

The KUHN Krause Gladiator® 1205 pull-type 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™ 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.

The row unit is the heart of the machine. ST-PRO 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 row units have no grease zerks, therefore require no daily maintenance further saving time and increasing productivity throughout the working day.
