Mower Set To Deliver Unequaled Productivity

Mower Set To Deliver Unequaled Productivity KUHN claims to be redefining the limits of performance with its newly developed GMD 15030, the widest mower available on the market. The mowing giant is designed for the large farmer seeking higher productivity and profitability. It measures just under 48 ft. wide and features four 10-ft., 7-disc beds in the rear. It’s paired with a 10-ft. wide plain or FC-F conditioner front mower. The mower’s power requirement is 230 hp, and at 9 mph, it can cut nearly 49 acres/hr. A unique folding mechanism delivers a nearly 180-degree fold at the gearbox housing between the two outer units. It measures less than 10 ft. wide and under 12 1/2 ft. high, ensuring comfort and safety in transport mode. Additionally, the double mowers are synchronized rather than offset, eliminating overlap. A KUHN spokesperson says, “The GMD 15030 is perfectly suited to new agricultural practices such as controlled traffic farming (CTF). This limits the impact of machine passes on the soil, reducing the compacted area while increasing fodder production.” The KUHN disc mower features the durable Optidisc Elite cutterbar for reliable, high-quality cutting in all conditions. Maintenance is simple, with no oil changes required. The exclusive Protectadrive safety system helps protect against obstacles, while four aligned bars with independent articulation ensure ground contour following. Lift-control suspension and non-stop breakaway safety systems are incorporated to allow in-field pivoting around obstacles. The GMD 15030 is controlled in the cab using the KFA 12 control box. An advanced feature, ISOBUS Mower Control, is optional. Interested parties are encouraged to contact their nearest KUHN dealer for availability and pricing.
