Disc mower range gets upgrade
Kuhn has announced an expansion of its range of disc mowers, distributed by Norwood in New Zealand, with the addition of two new vertically folding rear mounted models, the GMD 3515 and GMD 4015.
French company KUHN has won a EIMA Technical Innovation Award for its Baler Automation Technology.
The Task Controller Section Control baling system makes the VB 7100 series round balers the first Section Controlled balers in the world with a GPS automated pick-up, taking another step towards autonomous baling, boosting profitability for customers and bale quality and operator convenience.
In operation, the machine’s pick-up is only down when there is crop available for baling, improving operator comfort and reducing machine wear, especially when turning onto the headland.
The integral Task Controller records progress, including information on the number of bales, customer and field information, yield, and bale weight. Recorded data can be transferred to KUHN EasyTransfer or a Farm Management Information System through an agrirouter.
Auxiliary Control offers optimal ergonomics and comfort during highspeed baling, with the baler able to be controlled directly with the CCI A3 joystick, which displays all functions, or the AUX-N joystick from the tractor knives.
Complementing the introduction of Baling Automation, a next generation user interface ensures easy and pleasant operation, with all information from the baling process is directly visible in the new working screen thanks to Process View, while several work counters can be managed by adding a name and a date for customer or field management.
