Kuhn 4830-440R

3-Point or Pull-Type Configurations

3-Point Hitch

Designed for deep tillage with strength and durability in mind. This Category III, 3-point hitch is integrated into a two-bar frame design with main members of heavy-duty, 6”x6” structural steel tubing.

Drawbar Pull-Hitch (Small Frame)

The optional drawbar pull-hitch lets you match tractors, not equipped with 3-point hitches, to the 4830 in-line ripper. Equipped with four 280/70 R 15 tires, the drawbar hitch provides excellent field flotation and depth control.

Drawbar Pull-Hitch (Large Frame)

The optional drawbar pull-hitch lets you match tractors, not equipped with 3-point hitches, to the 4830 in-line ripper. Four 280/70 R15 tires rear and (2) 280/70 R15 tires on front mounted gauge wheels.

Shank Mounts to Match Your Field Conditions

Shear-Bolt

Rigid, shear-bolt mounts are an economical choice for soils where rocks or other obstacles are not a concern.  Shear-bolt protection guards against shank damage from unexpected obstacles.

// Shear force: 10,000 pounds (approximate)

// 16” maximum shank working depth

// For non-rock conditions

Spring Reset

Recommended for field conditions where obstacles or rocks may be encountered. A 4”x4” welded tube provides strength.

// 2,500 pound point load
// 20” trip height
// 16” maximum shank working depth
// 36” underframe clearance

PathFind’R™

Exclusive pivoting design allows the shank to deflect up to 6 degrees on each side for a total of 12 degrees of movement.

// Basic spring reset design
// Makes deep ripping possible on contours or terraces
// Deflects impacts improving performance in rocky soils
// Smoother steering under full power with tracked tractors
// Reduces stress on implement frame and 3-point tractor hitch
// Not compatible with pull-type hitch
// 20” trip height
// 16” maximum shank working depth
// 36” underframe clearance
