Agritechnica 2023: Kuhn goes driverless with 175hp Karl tractor unit

Kuhn has hopped aboard the driverless bandwagon with its own take on a cab-free tractor.

The curiously named Karl is similar in size and shape to that of AgXeed, in which rival implement maker Amazone is invested.

It is powered by a 175hp diesel-electric powertrain that propels the 340mm or 450mm tracks to a top speed of 15kph.

Total weight is 8.5t, plus whatever is carried on the 3.5t front and 5t rear linkages.

However, there’s no pto, with the company instead favouring electric drive of implements such as the HR 2520 shown in the picture.
