    I got my eye on a used Kuhn FC3160TCD disc mower/conditioner at a local dealer. The Kuhn is a 2014 model. I currently run a NH7320 (side pull) but would love to upgrade to a center pull like the Kuhn I found. But I have no experience with Kuhn equipment. For those who have run Kuhn...

    After 3 seasons, my steel rollers are cracked lengthwise. I need advice about how to get them off so I can send out to have them rebuilt. How do I remove the rollers? I started tearing things down, but I'm stumped.

    Thinking of getting a MF1840 and was wondering if a Hoelscher accumulator slows it down?

    Kuhn conditioner (steel rollers) sold by JD dealer can't handle heavy johnson grass. Any of you guys attempted to condition heavy johnson grass or similar crop (video attached). The dealer and rep was no help, just blowing me off after the sale? Bought this machine new, used it for three days...

    We started this season by making sure all the equipment was ready and in tip top shape well before hand. Grass is tall and we had lots of wet warm weather looks like haying season is going to be productive! All the local cattle farmers started mowing so we watched the weather forecast. It called...

    Who do you feel manufactures the best 3x3 or 3x4 large square bale wrapper? I am not looking for a tube wrapper, but an individual bale wrapper that will wrap in the field. Covering quite a bit of area so stationary wrapping at the barn is not really an option either. I have really been...

    I see Kuhn is introducing a LSB 870 2x3 (28"x31.5" bale 2-10 feet long) large square baler offers a lot of options and features at an affordable price. It doesn't look as though it short any features. This should be a nice size and weight to handle with a skid loader. I believe New Holland use...

    Going to inquire about a Kuhn GF 502 tedder for sale. Owner asking $5100. Never owner a tedder but they are very popular in East Texas and it might be a help in my Bermuda horse hay operations when the weather window is compressed. I only sell small squares of horse hay quality. Tedder is a...

    I am thinking about getting a new wheel rake. I currently have a New Holland 57 pto driven rolabar rake and I love it. I started doing over half of my rolls in haylage last year and the rake never has a problem making a windrow no matter how thick. The only issue is I am only getting 8.5 feet...

    I have a 1995 model Kuhn 600GMD disc mower. I have it attached to my tractor but the bar on the mower will only raise up halfway. I checked that I connected everything correctly and my tractor is a 2007 Kubota M6040DT, which should be plenty of tractor to handle this task. Does anyone know...

    Looking at for a new rake, what do you guys prefer wheel or rotary? It will be ran in corn stalks mostly, and some hay. ALso do those plastic rings on wheel rakes work? ***Side note; most fields won't have chopped stalks thanks

    Well my search for a windrower turned up with nothing, couldn't find one I liked. Picked up a new trail type mower instead. This is the second 3550 we have had and absolutely love these machines. This years lineup I'll be using a Kuhn GMD800, Kuhn 3550, and a Kuhn 4050. We're off to a great...

    Well the seasons over but we found a big problem with the used Kuhn FC 243 RTG mower my wife bought back in the Spring. Let me say first that it's done a great job of mowing after replacing the hydraulic hoses, knives and getting it adjusted correctly after some trial and error. Link to first...

    I just purchased a new Kuhn 3150 tl disc mower. it is the most impressive mower I have ever owned. the gyrodine swivel hitch makes the turning effortless. The optimism cutter is unlike anything on the market, with its differential spacing, and no oil changes for the life of the machine. if you...

    Ok the old M&W rake has more welds than I can count, and teeth are coming out of it faster than I can put new ones in, and now one has broke off and stuck in my rear tire of tractor, so maybe its about time, you think? Been looking at the Kuhn Speed rakes over the past year or so, like the high...
