2026 Kuhn Vari-Master 153 6(5E+1) Traction Bolt 13 in

KUHN MASTER 153 ploughs are considered as the market reference in mounted ploughs by farmers all over the world.
The unique design of MASTER ploughs provides an exceptional level of performance to achieve high yields and optimise your bottom line. They are distinguished from other ploughs on the market by : their simplicity of use and ease of adjustment to increase your work rates and comfort; their reliability with a sturdy structure with many KUHN exclusives; their quality of work with total burial of residues and weeds.
Thanks to KUHN original forged parts, you push back the limits of your plough's use and ensure precise work without loss of productivity.
KUHN's reputation and expertise in the world of ploughing guarantees a resale value of your plough that is higher than that of other manufacturers on the market.

KUHN MASTER 153 mounted ploughs have a common objective: to help you reap the benefits of your investment quickly.
The MASTER 153 with its 150 x 150 mm beam is designed for more intensive use and more difficult working conditions than the MASTER 123. With the MASTER 153, you will be able to use tractors up to 270 hp. This range is available from 4 to 6 bodies, in MULTI-MASTER and VARI-MASTER versions, with T traction bolt safety or Non-Stop Hydraulic safety.
Thousands of users have already chosen the MASTER 153 mounted reversible plough for its reliability, ease of use and quality of work. KUHN has been designing and manufacturing ploughs for over a century. This know-how and expertise will increase the profitability of your investment by a higher resale value than that of competing ploughs.

2 choices of inter-body clearance

It is essential to choose your plough according to the conditions of use and in particular according to the cultivation system being followed. In order to best adapt to your working conditions, it is possible to optimise the clearance between points. To do this, you should take into account :

• whether or not the volume of residue is large
• whether straw is removed from the field or not
• if the plant cover is previously crushed or destroyed. 

2 clearances are available on MASTER 153 mounted ploughs:

• in 4 and 5 furrows 102 cm: this clearance is recommended for destroying live plant cover or for burying a bed of previously shredded residue. In this configuration, the soil flow circulates easily between 2 bodies while maintaining an optimal position of the skimmers. The quality of ploughing is maintained despite the high presence of residues.
• in 5 and 6 furrows 96 cm: This is the best compromise to maximise the passage capacity in the presence of abundant residues while maintaining working comfort with a plough that is easy to manoeuvre.

2 cutting width systems

KUHN offers 2 cutting width systems: multiple or variable.

• The MULTI-MASTER 153 ploughs offer the possibility to work at different widths: 35, 40 and 45 cm (14', 16' or 18'). Changing widths is done by mechanical adjustment, simply by changing the bolts in the clevises to orientate the ages.
  The multiple width is ideal for farmers who have constant working conditions with homogeneous soil, a uniform plot with small hills and consistent quantities of residue.
  The VARI-MASTER 153 ploughs allow instant adaptation of the cutting width to the conditions. Changing the cutting width is made using the variable hydraulic adjustment from the operator's seat. The special feature of KUHN VARI-MASTER 153 mounted ploughs is the full integration of the variable width system into the beam for optimum protection of the mechanism. The cutting width can vary from 30 to 50 cm (12' to 20') depending on the body clearance of your plough.
  The VARI-MASTER 153 ploughs are ideally suited to farmers and contractors with variable ploughing conditions: available tractive power, uneven ground, lack of adherence, desired ploughing profile, amount of residue to be buried, shape of the field, heterogeneous soil etc.

2 high-performance safety devices

MASTER 153 ploughs can be equipped with 2 types of safety: T traction bolt safety or NSH hydraulic non stop safety.

• The Traction bolt safety device ensures a clear breakage by traction following a force at the point of the share of 4 000 kg and thus avoids frequent stressing of the safety device. The ploughing depth remains the same after many trips: no wear on the system. The T safety is an economical solution for a lighter plough than NSH. It is recommended for heavy soil without stones.
• The Non-Stop Hydraulic safety system can be adapted to all working conditions. The pressure on the plough body varies according to the depth, speed and width of the work, the condition and nature of the soil.... It is therefore necessary to be able to vary the release pressure without mechanical intervention (adding blades, spring tension...) to prevent stones from rising up or the plough from being moved over during work. The general design of non-stop safety systems allows an increasing or decreasing release curve to be obtained when encountering the obstacle.

The adjustment of the release pressure takes only a few seconds by connecting a hydraulic hose. There are options to suit the most demanding situations:

• VARIBAR option: allows the pressure at the point to be varied from the tractor while ploughing: immediate adaptation to working conditions.
• MAXIBAR option: instantaneous high release pressure (600 to 2500 kg) of the safety devices for working on very heavy soil.

Features May Include:

KUHN plough bodies, full of savings

• KUHN's nearly 150 years of experience in the domain of ploughing has made it possible to develop a range of bodies adapted to the needs of all farmers. KUHN plough bodies are made from high-quality, robust materials and are designed to optimally penetrate all soil conditions and have a maximum service life. The uneven-layer triplex mouldboards, high and wide stem, and range of carbide wear parts are some of the advantages of the KUHN plough body range. With around thirty different bodies, you have ample choice to ensure the residues in all your plots are properly buried.

Different wheel systems

• Depth wheel: available in rear and side position, it has a large diameter. Tool-free adjustment and possibility of making hydraulic adjustments to increase usage comfort This adjustment wheel is mounted on dampers to limit shocks during turning manoeuvres.
• Combined wheel: available in lateral and rear position depending on the model. Two functions accessible with a single wheel of less than average weight. Usable in mechanical and hydraulic version with indicator visible from the cab.
• Transport wheel: ideal for transport and equipped with a base suspension to improve the plough's stability during transport.

Two systems of evolution of the NSH safety device

• VARIBAR: ideal in heterogeneous soil conditions, it allows the NSH safety device to be directly adjusted during ploughing. This system makes rapid and tool-free intervention possible as soon as the need arises and before the structure of the machine can become damaged.
• MAXIBAR: the best combination in hard land; compatible with VARIBAR, it allows the pressure to be increased by up to 2500kg. It provides maximum stability to the plough by eliminating any risks of tapping on heavy soil and ensures rapid retraction in case of obstacle.
