A Well Rounded and Versatile Disc Mower
The KUHN GMD 355 mounted disc mower is great for operators who are looking for versatility, high cutting performance and durability.
The KUHN GMD 355 disc mower provides operators with increased durability, enhanced features and a cleaner look for years of low maintenance hay production. Equipped with KUHN’s 100 Series cutterbar, the GMD 355 has proven cutting performance in the field. It has also been reinforced with heavy-duty outer bearing stations to support both ends of the cutterbar. These supports greatly improve the durability of the cutterbar, especially when it is used in difficult conditions. The swath wheel improves crop flow by providing positive engagement of the crop. The spring suspension of the cutting unit has adaptive flotation for the cutterbar to float over uneven terrain. The mechanical breakaway protects the mower along fence lines and field edges in case an obstacle is struck.

Proven 100 Series Cutterbar
Due to the high reliability, excellent crop cutting, and overall adaptability to varying terrains, the 100 Series cutterbar is a staple in the Premium Series. See for yourself by taking a closer look at what the 100 Series cutterbar has to offer
- Withstands the highest loads: special high-capacity bearings fitted in a one-piece sealed housing are not subject to distortion.
- Increased service life: disc pinion shaft bearings endure radial forces for maximum bearing life. This optimum position improves the load balance.
- Protection should an obstacle be struck: the Protectadrive® system is designed to protect the cutterbar gear train and minimizes the risk of downtime.
- High-wear resistance: knife attachment hardware is fully protected. For added safety, heat-treated steel cups are welded to the disc.
- Minimum wear or distortion risks: idler gear fasteners are located in heat treated steel cups. Correct alignment is ensured without the risk of distortion.
- Long-term reliability: large-diameter gearwheels in high-tensile forged steel with reinforced teeth.
- Perfect sealing: top-quality o-rings used on cutterbar bearing housings for a perfect, leak-free seal.
Swath Wheel
The GMD 355 mower comes with an adjustable outside swath wheel. The swath wheel improves crop flow by providing more positive engagement of crop to leave the cutterbar, especially in taller crops. Additionally, the swath wheel allows a greater degree of swath width adjustment and leaves a clearly defined edge for the next pass.
Cutterbar Frame Support
The cutterbar and curtain frame are supported on the outside of the machine. The support frame is equipped with two integrated bumpers to reduce shocks from the cutterbar when working in rough field conditions.
Exceptional Terrain Following
Lift-Control Hydropneumatic Suspension
Lift-Control is much more than just a suspension system with a nitrogen accumulator replacing the traditional spring. The main advantage of the Lift-Control system is derived from the exclusive way in which kinetic forces that act on the cutterbar are utilized. KUHN engineers have succeeded in making a dynamic suspension system, as opposed to the passive system most commonly used.
With the Lift-Control system, as the force exerted on the cutterbar increases, the suspension system automatically lightens the cutterbar. The greater the force, the lighter the cutterbar.
Benefits include:
- Constant ground pressure
- Non-stop safety breakaway
- Excellent terrain following
- Less soil in the crop
- Minimize torn up turf
Easily Adjustable Overlap
For a clean cut on slopes and bends, the overlap between the front and rear units can be adjusted hydraulically between 12” and 18” (depending on the model combination) – even while driving. This is a real benefit for tractors with wide wheel spacing or large wheels.
FlexProtect™: Flexible Protection
FlexProtect™ side shields protect the edges of the machine from damage when driving along field edges or near obstacles. The side shields, made of high-density polythene material, will bend without breaking or damaging the mower. The material then returns back its original shape. When operator’s switch to the transport position, the FlexProtect side shields can quickly be folded up on both sides to reduce transport width.
Time is Money
Maintenance-Free Drive Shaft
The direct design provides easy access for servicing and fully eliminates belts. Reliability is greatly improved when working in longer, tough or lodged crops. Unlike competitive models that require daily greasing, the driveshaft to the cutterbar uses maintenance-free U-joints. These joints reduce overall maintenance and eliminate excessive wear from improper lubrication.
Triple the Efficiency
The race for high output is never ending. Farmers have increasingly larger areas to harvest, optimal mowing periods are limited and producing top quality forage is essential.
KUHN is here to support you in the inevitable race for output. Pair a GMD 25 F Series front mounted mower with a KUHN GMD 30 Series rear mounted mower for the ultimate triple-mower combination. The total combined working width, of up to 32’6”, knocks down large fields in no time, while exclusive features provide strong returns on investment by reducing maintenance and downtime.
EQUIPMENT
Cutterbar Lifting Skids
These lifters are available for mowing conditions which require elevated cutting heights. Up to 3.5” (90 mm) are possible. They will also prove useful in wet and sticky mowing conditions.
1000 RPM Drive
An optional 1000 RPM PTO offers flexibility for the customer to run the mower with a larger tractor and provides dependable operation in varied conditions.
Parking Stand
An optional parking stand can be ordered to store the mower in the vertical position to save space in the shed.
