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.
KUHN's VISIOSPACE cab offers the largest window surface area and best field of vision on the market.
Self-propelled mixer wagons offer the advantages of being able to load, cut, mix and feed livestock rations, all with the same machine.

The VISIOSPACE cab satisfies several expectations: cab offers the largest window surface area and best field of vision on the market.
From right to left, the driver has a 360° panoramic view, making it particularly suitable for users who operate livestock buildings or tight confines.
Featuring a layout that has no visual obstacles at the foot of the cab, the driver is allowed a clear view of the milling head at the bottom of the silage clamp or when loading fibre bales.
Downtime is reduced as the driver can easily assess the distances and see clumps of fodder that may cause a potential blockage issue for the machine.
With feeding typically carried out at the beginning or end of the day, the ventilation and heating system capacities have been increased by 50% and 30% respectively same generous dimensions of the first generation, are retained for spaciousness, and accessibility.
To service a wide range of users, the VISIOSPACE cab is available in Standard, Edition and Attractive specifications.
