Replaces Kuhn Krause® Q1008391 / Q1008390
Built for abrasive, tough soil conditions, the Gladiator Point is engineered to deliver extended service life and dependable performance. Designed as a direct OEM-compatible replacement point for Kuhn Krause® Gladiator strip-till units, this point helps operators reduce time spent replacing points because of getting longer wear life out of it.
Engineered for High-Abrasion Soils
This premium configuration features:
- Tungsten carbide tile on the nose for exceptional resistance to soil abrasion and impact
- Hardfaced wear surfaces to extend operational life in rocky conditions
- OEM-compatible fit for seamless installation on Kuhn Krause® Gladiator units
- Compatibility with shank side shields to help protect surrounding components
The reinforced nose is specifically designed to withstand the concentrated wear that occurs at the leading edge of the point—where abrasion is most severe in rocky soils.
Maintains Tillage Geometry Over Time
As strip-till points wear, they can lose their intended shape, affecting soil flow and strip consistency. The tungsten-reinforced design helps the point maintain its working profile longer than standard cast or ductile iron alternatives. Maintaining geometry supports:
- Consistent strip formation
- Reliable seedbed preparation
- Reduced likelihood of premature rounding
- Improved operational efficiency across acres
Built for Performance-Focused Operators
This point is ideal for growers operating in:
- Rocky or highly abrasive soils
- High-acreage strip-till systems
- Environments where maximizing uptime and fewer change-outs are priorities
While the initial investment is higher than economy cast or ductile iron options, the extended wear potential can contribute to lower total replacement frequency over time—making it a strong fit for performance-driven operations.
