Kuhn displayed a suite of new implements across its grassland, crop care and tillage ranges at Agritechnica. However, one of which will be of good relevance to the Irish market was the new side-mounted GMD 3515 plain disc mower.

The new 3.5m model and larger 3.95m GMD 4015 are Kuhn’s first plain disc mowers offered in a vertical folding configuration.

Like its competitors, the cutterbar is centrally mounted to the main arm to offer the best possible pendulum range. The unit folds to an angle of 125 degrees, ensuring that the centre of gravity remains close to the tractor and under 4m high in transport.

Both models are equipped with the Optidisc Elite cutterbar with quick-release blades as well as the Kuhn Lift-Control system.

This system uses a hydropneumatic cutterbar relief system which is designed to constantly adapts to ground contours.
