Modern Style, Meets Great Performance
KUHN GMD 25 F Series front mounted mowers, with working widths ranging from 10’2” to 11’6 can be used on their own, or as part of a triple-mower combination allowing you to cut up to 32’6” in one pass.
As the first to market and industry leader, KUHN knows disc mowers. The GMD 51 TL Series trailed disc mowers have many of the same great features you have come to know and love. These trailed mowers offer high working rates, simple adjustments and low maintenance for dependable grass and forage harvesting. They provide easy tractor attachments, as well as improved contour following, compared to the fully mounted models. The trailed design also lowers the tractors ballast requirement, allowing use with smaller tractors while maintaining excellent stability in both work and transport.
YOUR BENEFITS
The Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar: A Clean and Consistent Cut
Lubed-For-Life Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar
The Optidisc® Elite cutterbar provides a flat, streamlined profile so that soil and crop residue do not accumulate and material flows smoothly, even in heavy, difficult crop conditions. Optidisc Elite cutterbars are designed and tested with a zero oil change interval. The highly-polished gears and synthetic gear oil ensure that this system does not require any regular internal maintenance, eliminating the need for cutterbar oil changes throughout the life of the machine.
clearance
Differential Disc Spacing
The innovative design of the Optidisc Elite cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.
- Less Distance for a Clean Cut: Narrower spacing at diverging discs provides greater knife overlap, which results in a clean cut, even when the grass is short or light.
- More Distance for Easy Crop Passage: Wider spacing at converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass. Cut crop is quickly carried away from the cutting area, greatly improving the cut quality.
Converging Drums
The converging drums work together with the OptiDisc® Elite cutterbar to create smooth swaths, narrow enough to fit between the tractor tires to avoid value robbing run-over of the cut crop. Drums are powered via shafts to ensure full power in all mowing conditions.
Discs & Open Cones
The new style discs incorporate flat angled leading edges to lift the crop off of the cutterbar and promote fast movement of the crop through the machine to be laid in an even swath. On the underside of the disc, there are welded-on scrapers. These scrapers keep the cutterbar clean of mud, dirt and debris when mowing in wet or dusty conditions.
Similar to the discs, the open cones have large area leading edges to evacuate the crop being cut and push the crop towards the center of the machine leaving a desirable edge to the swath. The open cone design also makes them easier to clean for less machine vibration and easier access to bolts on the disc whenever maintenance needs to be performed.
Exceptional Terrain Following
Pro-Active Lift®
This maintenance-free system allows the machine to quickly adapt to abrupt changes in terrain or when an obstruction is encountered in the field. The cutting head is able to move up and back simultaneously, dissipating the force of any impact and providing space to clear the obstacle. This unique design reduces scalping to preserve crop stubble and helps protect the machine from potential damage. A slotted linkage on each side provide guidance for the header and eliminates the need to run the hydraulics in the float position.
Constant Float Suspension
The header is suspended on each side by a long, large-diameter spring that provides a constant range of flotation. The floating head lifts up and back, and can oscillate from side-to-side, to closely follow the ground contours and conform to irregular terrain. This reduces the amount of missed crop in the field and helps keep dirt out of the harvested crop.
Superior Maneuverability
The heavy-duty Gyrodine® gearbox is designed to withstand the most severe pull-through force from the hitch to the machine. The swivel design allows in excess of a 90° turn while keeping the PTO driveline straight. This design also allows extremely tight turns for clean, square corners while minimizing PTO vibration and wear.
Time is Money
Simple Design and Easy Service
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 maintenance.
Convenient Height Adjustment
The height change adjustments are fast and simple, and do not require tools. Cutting height is set using a special turnbuckle that adjusts easily with only modest effort. A convenient gauge on the turnbuckle shows the cutting height for precise field adjustments.
Steel Side Sheets
The steel side sheets provide a definitive line between cut and uncut crop. This makes the subsequent pass easier to follow for the operator and also gives the machine a finished look.
Toolless Hood Latch
Operators can easily open the front hood of the mower, with the pull of a lever, for clear access to the cutterbar for inspection or maintenance.
EQUIPMENT
Fast-Fit
An optional Fast-Fit kit can be added. The Fast-Fit quick-release knife system allows quick changing of knives with the use of a simple tool, yet still provides the optimum cut quality and knife life seen with the standard system. With Fast-Fit, you can achieve up to 50% time savings.
Plastic Rock Guards
A HDPE (high-density polyethylene) rock guard can be mounted on the underside of the front hood for added protection in rocky conditions.
High-Lift Skids Shoes
For customers requiring a higher cut height for certain crops or when cutting in rocky conditions. The skids are adjustable for cutting between 2.1” – 6”.
CV Secondary PTO Shaft
For flexibility to steer around obstacles in the field with the mowers’ hydraulic swing cylinder or to mow directly behind the tractor without PTO chatter, a secondary PTO shaft equipped with a constant velocity joint can be factory ordered or field installed.
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.
