If your Kuhn Krause 8000 or 8005 unit already runs hydraulic angle actuation but tops out at 5°, this kit widens that range to a full 1–8°, matching what current machines ship with. More angle means a rougher pass: bigger chunks, deeper grooves, more residue buried for the winter. Less angle, down near the bottom of the range, is what you want heading into a smooth spring planting surface.
One thing this kit doesn’t do: it doesn’t add hydraulic actuation to a manual machine. It’s built to extend the range on a machine that’s already hydraulic. If your machine is manual, we also carry a Manual Angle Kit for Kuhn instead, which adds angle adjustability without needing hydraulics at all.
Installation is bolt-on, but unlike our manual kit, it’s not welding-free — most machines need about 2″ trimmed off the existing welded brackets with a cut-off wheel or sawzall to clear the wider range.
Covers six sizes — 14′, 20′, 25′, 30′, 34′, and 40′ — priced by machine width.
Field Notes
When ordering, have ready: your machine’s model, the specific version/generation, and confirmation that your machine already runs hydraulic angle actuation (this kit widens an existing hydraulic range — it doesn’t add hydraulics to a manual machine).
These kits ship via freight carrier given their size — we’ll coordinate a delivery appointment with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit add hydraulic actuation to my machine?
No — this kit widens the angle range on a machine that already has hydraulic actuation. If your machine is manual, see our Manual Angle Kit for Kuhn instead.
What angle range does this kit give me?
It widens your Kuhn Krause 8000 or 8005 unit’s range from the stock 1–5° to 1–8°, matching what current machines ship with.
Does installing this kit require any cutting or welding?
It’s bolt-on, but most machines need about 2″ trimmed off the existing welded brackets with a cut-off wheel or sawzall to clear the wider range — not a welding-free install like our manual kit.
What’s the practical difference between running this kit at 2° versus 8°?
Higher angle means a rougher pass — bigger chunks, more residue buried, which is what you want heading into fall and winter. Lower angle leaves a smoother, more level surface, which is what you want right before spring planting.
What machines does this kit fit?
VT Kuhn Krause 8000 and 8005 Vertical Tillage Units specifically — confirm your model before ordering.
