Disc mowers have been the dominant technology on the mowing market for several decades now. As agricultural equipment has evolved, disc mowers have consistently proven their value across a wide range of grass cutting operations, from small family farms to large-scale contracting across the UK and beyond.
KUHN uses two different cutter bar concepts to meet every requirement: the 100 series and the OPTIDISC ELITE. In addition, KUHN offers a wide range of working widths to suit every hay harvesting or mowing cycle, and a broad array of equipment to meet users' needs worldwide.
ISOBUS control makes operations and adjustments easier. It was initially available on mower conditioners with belts before being extended to triple disc mowers thanks to the ISOBUS MOWER CONTROL system. This system facilitates machine control and offers advanced features, such as automatic and individual lift and lowering of units at headlands (TC-Section Control certified). Operators can also adjust the cutterbar angle to optimise crop feed into the conditioner and improve forage quality. The intelligent design ensures smooth PTO driven operation while minimising the risk of damage to field boundaries or terrain features. A floating suspension system allows the cutter bar to follow ground contours closely, improving both cut quality and blade longevity.
With more than 28 different mower models with working widths from 1.6 to 14.50 metres, KUHN offers a highly diverse range of versatile machines to meet the requirements of farmers and contractors all over the world. Whether you're looking for a rear mounted disc mower for a smallholding or a triple mower combination for a large estate, there is a KUHN solution to suit.
Rear mounted mowers with working widths from 1.6 to 4.4 metres adapt to farm size and fodder volumes. These rear disc mowers mount They can be combined with front mowers to give greater working widths and higher output.
Specific models are designed for specific conditions, such as the GMD 1021 F Compact series, a lightweight disc mower designed for smaller tractors operating in mountainous areas. This front-mounted mower couples to specialised tractors built for hilly terrain, with adjustable cutting height to suit uneven ground.
For large farms and contractors, the best options are triple disc mowers or triple mower conditioners in combination with front-mounted. These disc mowers, which have working widths between 8.3 and 14.5 metres, ensure high work output while preserving fodder quality. The rear disc conditioner efficiently forms cut material into a consistent swath, reducing dry-down time from the moment of cutting grass to baling.
For effective fodder harvesting, it is important to make sure that the working parts are adapted for the job and in good condition.
The discs are the essential component of the cutter bar. Knives fitted to the discs rotate at around 3,000 rpm, ensuring a clean, even and uniform cut, before sending the fodder to the conditioner to form swaths. The discs are made of treated steel to give them a longer service life.
The knives are specially designed and engineered to ensure optimal cutting performance. For intensive use, KUHN offers the 5-mm thick Triple 5 knife, which is highly resistant to abrasion and deformation. Its service life is often four to five times longer than a standard 4 mm blade, making it a strong choice for operators looking to reduce damage or lower long-term maintenance costs.
The skids protect the cutter bar against wear caused by friction with soil and stones. They are made from robust, treated materials that provide greater durability and are quick to service and replace, so transport downtime is kept to a minimum.
