Reliable PZ mower gets makeover

Written by 

KUHN PZ mowers have been around for 45 years, and the maker should know a bit about manufacturing them.

Just released to the New Zealand market is the PZ 960 triple drum mower, the latest in the 900 series.

For tractors of 100-150hp it can be combined with the front-mounted PZ350 F mower providing solutions for contractors and farmers.

Kuhn cites a "unique combination" of two large outer drums with two smaller diameter inners. A multi-function hydraulic control that enables folding of the units separately is fitted to the PZ 960 as standard equipment.

The PZ 960 comes in working widths of 8.40, 8.65 or 8.95m, and the cutting height can be adjusted steplessly without tools. Blade changes can be done in a few minutes, again without tools. Access to the drums is easy via hinged side and front covers.

All wear parts are easily replaced, and the unit with its Lift Control suspension is designed to shift rearwards when encountering an obstacle. The cover, of deformable plastic, springs back to its original shape without breaking if an obstacle is hit.
