https://www.en.kuhn-canada.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_carousel/public/media-nextpage-img/FC_HiSkids.png?itok=T5DTqAln High-Lift Skids Shoes

For customers requiring a higher cut for certain crops or when cutting in rocky conditions. The skids are adjustable for cutting between 2.1” – 6”.

https://www.en.kuhn-canada.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_carousel/public/media-nextpage-img/FC_LifterDisc.png?itok=jAnq6OPl Crop Lifters

 Recommended only for sorghum or other hard feeding crops.

https://www.en.kuhn-canada.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_carousel/public/media-nextpage-img/FC_1000RPM.jpg?itok=wOKd3tid 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.

https://www.en.kuhn-canada.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_carousel/public/media-nextpage-img/FC_SecondaryPTO.jpg?itok=wtVe2GLm 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. This option is highly recommended for operation with tractors that have narrow or typical row crop spaced tires.

https://www.en.kuhn-canada.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_carousel/public/media-nextpage-img/FC_PlasticShield.png?itok=aeJ0BK4p Plastic Rock Guards

 A rock guard can be mounted on the underside of the front hood for added protection in rocky conditions.

The Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar: A Clean and Consistent Cut

FC_CutterbarSil.png Lubed-For-Life Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar

The Optidisc® 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 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.

FC_OptiDiscs.jpg Differential Disc Spacing

The innovative design of the Optidisc Elite cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.

1- 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.

2- More Distance for Easy Crop Passage - Wider spacing (2) 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.

FC_Adjustments_02.jpg High-Lift Discs and Fast-Fit® Kit

The cutting discs and end cones provide high crop lift, allowing cut materials to quickly leave the cutterbar and enter the conditioner, especially in thick crop conditions.

The Fast-Fit® quick-release knife system allows an operator to rapidly change out cutting knives with the use of a simple tool, yet still retain optimum cut quality and knife life. With Fast-Fit, an operator can achieve up to 50% time savings over a standard system.

FC_DriveShaft.png Maintenance-Free Drive Shaft

Unlike competitive models that require daily greasing, the drive shaft to the cutterbar uses maintenance-free U-joints. These joints reduce overall maintenance and eliminate excessive wear from improper maintenance.

Protectadrive_GearToGear_Combined.png Protectadrive® Disc Bearing Stations

// Protectadrive® Safety: Every minute saved during the hay season is precious. Ultimate protection, from the externally removable Protectadrive disc bearing stations, provides maximum reliability and quick service. In the event of an impact between a disc and an obstacle, the shaft holding the disc can shear just above the bearing. This is thanks to its carefully dimensioned shear groove. As a result, the gear teeth are protected.

// Extra Rigidity Where it Counts: Disc bearing stations are attached by bolts that pass through the entire cutterbar. This is an exceptionally strong and secure attachment with no risk of mount being torn out of the cutterbar in case of shocks. The disc drive pinion is held precisely in place, all resulting in excellent reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

// Gear-to-Gear Power Transmission: Gear-to-gear power transmission, a staple of all KUHN disc mowers, allows for maximum power to be transferred through all gears in the cutterbar. Unlike other gear cutterbars, equal sized gears throughout reduces torque on the gear teeth and leads to unsurpassed reliability and longevity.

Rugged Build & Exceptional Terrain Following

FC3560TLD_02_Sil.png High-Strength Steel Frame

 The high-strength steel frame provides sturdy support for the heavy-duty cutterbar and conditioner. Pound-for-pound this material provides 50% greater tensile strength than the mild steel found on competitive units. This lightweight, yet high-strength design reduces horsepower requirements and fuel consumption.

FC_RotorProtect.png  Heavy-Duty Main Gearbox

 The main gearbox is the core of the unit, specially built by KUHN to efficiently and reliably transfer power to the cutterbar and finger conditioner or rollers. The direct drive eliminates periodic checks on belt tightness and wear.

FC_ConstantFloat.png 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 oscillates from side to side, to closely follow ground contours and conform to irregular terrain. This reduces the amount of missed crop in the field and helps keep dirt out of harvested crop.

FC_ProActiveLift.png 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.

FC_NarrowTurn.jpg Gyrodine® Swivel Hitch

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 turns in excess of 90° while keeping the PTO driveline straight. This design allows extremely tight turns for clean, square corners while minimizing PTO vibration and wear.

Uniform Crop Conditioning

FC_Fingers.jpg DigiDry® Finger Conditioner

The DigiDry® finger conditioner provides consistent drying of grass and legume crops in various conditions with little maintenance. Wide rotor, fingerstyle conditioning increase crop-on-crop rubbing to strip off the waxy cuticle helping the steams dry at the same rate as the leaves. The built-in breakback feature normally protects against damage from rock and other foreign materials.

FC_DiamondConditioner_01.jpg Diamond Block® Conditioning

 Diamond Block® conditioning rollers stand out from the competition as the only rubber roller set designed exclusively for a disc mower. The horizontal staggered diamond pattern gives more points for the crop to be crimped as it flows off the disc at an angle. Adjustment of the roll pressure and roll gap is simple and can be done quickly in the field.

FC_SteelRollerConditioner.png DoubleCrimp™ Steel Roller

 The DoubleCrimp™ steel roller design provides consistent crimping and even feeding of thicker crops and extended life in difficult and abrasive conditions. The steel construction normally allows for a longer wearing life yet allows for through conditioning of more delicate crops like alfalfa. Adjustment of the roll pressure and roll gap is simple and can be done quickly in the field.
