Simple, Reliable and Productive for Small Producers

Designed to be reliable and simple to operate, the PZ 170 builds on a legacy that goes back over 50 years to the introduction of the world’s first drum mowers.

The 5’5″ cutting width of the KUHN PZ 170 drum mower provides small-acreage landowners and hay producers with significantly improved capacity and productivity compared to most sicklebar mowers. This drum mower easily cuts through tall, thick and tangled grasses with minimal horsepower requirements.

YOUR BENEFITS

The Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar: A Clean and Consistent Cut

PZ_FlatSideDrums

Heavy-Duty Components Help Provide a Quick and Smooth Cut

The flat sides of the drums are the key to moving cut crop off the drums and through the machine with minimal risk of blockage. The drum and drum skirt are separate detachable parts, which reduces repair costs and downtime.

Safety and Reliability When You Need It

Safety and Reliability

Upon encountering an obstacle, the breakaway releases and the mower unit pivots back to protect the mower. The breakaway is easily reset by reversing the tractor and returning the mower to the working position.

Flotation Spring

A flotation spring reduces the weight of the mower unit on the ground to improve mower floatation and terrain following.

Quick and Easy Maneuverability

PZ_RopePin2

Rope-Controlled Pin

A simple rope-controlled pin is used to lock the mower in the rearward transport position. The mower head is swung by hand from the transport position to the side working position or back to the transport pRosition. A hydraulic vertical fold option is also available.

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.
