Pivoting headstock: true mobility

The pivoting headstock provides flexibili-ty and manoeuvrability. - Even while turning, the tedder is always

in line with the cut crop.- When raised, the hitch automatically

centres and locks the implement in linewith the tractor.

Comfort and safety gohand in hand

Folding and extending of the outer rotorsis controlled hydraulically from the tractor. Transport locks are also released from thetractor using a release cord.

Rotors pivot by 180°

Once raised, the rotors lock automati-cally.- For additional security and reduced

storage requirements, rotors pivot 180°.- With the tines safely pointed inward the

overall transport width is also reduced.

Multi-purpose wheels

- Wheel height adjustment is through aneccentric. The turn of a simple handlealters the angle of the machine to bestsuit the density and stubble height of thecrop.

- Wheels are also capable of being turned manually for oblique operation,as at the edges of fields and alonghedges.

Three swaths in a single pass

With a width of 5 m (16’5”), the GF 5001 MH and T Gyrotedders are recommended foruse with a 2 m (6’7”) disc mower where three swaths are tedded without the tractor running over the crop. Two windrows from a 3 to 3.5 m (9’10” to 11’6”) mower condi-tioner can be tedded by running between the windrows.The GF 5001 MH and T can also be used to ted two windrows from a 3 m mower.

Anti-drift stabiliser: for even spreading

The anti-drift stabiliser enables regularcrop deposit for a homogeneous dryingprocess.- This device minimises the “wallowing”

that would normally occur when a tedder is operated at high speed or indense crops.

- The tedder tracks smoothly in line with thecentre of the tractor. Normal turning andpivoting of the headstock is not affected.

- As standard.

Safe transport

- With a very narrow width the GF5801MH / MHO models are also verycompact in transport. with a width ofless than 2.40 m (7’10”).

- In addition, a lighting and signallingsystem is fitted as standard to increasesafety on roads.

6 small diameter rotors: qualitytedding

The articulated frame and 6 small diame-ter rotors ensure the crop is turned over inits entirety. - Not only is the crop more evenly spread

but the reduced speed at which it isdischarged means more gentle handlingan reduced nutrient loss in the hay.

- The models GF 5801 MH / MHO meetall the criteria required to produce highly nutritious forage.

Thorough, even, tedding

The articulated frame and small diameterrotors ensure the crop is turned over in itsentirety. - Not only is the crop more evenly

spread, but the reduced speed at whichit is discharged means more gentlehandling and reduced nutrient loss inthe hay.

- Semi-mounted Kuhn Gyrotedders meetall the criteria required to produce highly nutritious forage.

Oblique tedding keepshay in the field

For tedding along the edge of a field andto avoid any risk of throwing any cropout of the field or onto a fence obliquetedding is provided. Simply operating thehydraulics and an electric switch in thetractor cab enables all the wheels to beturned to the left and to the right on the GF 8501 TO and GF 10601 TOGyrotedders.

“Mega Balloon” tyres for highfloatation

The two central rotors are each equippedwith reinforced wheel columns andMega-Balloon tyres. - The weight distribution of the central

section of the frame is then easily carried and ground pressure is reduced.

- This also improves the operation of the semi-mounted Gyrotedders overirregular ground.

13 A KUHN exclusive system multiple finger couplings

The rotors of all “1001” series Gyroteddersare driven with the exclusive DIGIDRIVE®

system, developed and patented by KUHN.- The Digidrive® coupling consists of twomultiple finger couplings made from forged, case-hardened, heat treated steel.This design and construction is extremelywear resistant and provides a phenome-nally long life.

- The smooth power transmission of theDigidrive® system provides constant velocity and power transmission underfield operations. As the Digidrive® systemremains engaged even when folded fortransport (exception, GF 5001T) rotors arealways in perfect line making proper alignment unnecessary when unfoldingthe tedder for operation.

- The key feature of the Digidrive® system isthe ability to fold up to an angle of nearly180° without damage even if the PTO isinadvertently engaged. In addition, thesystem provides substantially reducedtransport widths and storage require-ments.

No tools required to adjust tedding to the type of forage

From a sharp angle of approach that thoroughly disperses heavy long wetforages, to a shallow angle of approachthat meets the requirements of a dryer,more delicate crop, Kuhn Gyrotedderscan be swiftly adapted.Adjustment is provided through the combination of setting the rotor heightand angle. All adjustments are madewithout the need for the remo-val/installation of bolts, pins, or spacers.

Fully equipped

Most of the wide Kuhn Gyrotedders are fitted with standard equipment thatincludes an anti-drift stabiliser, tinedeflectors, Mega Balloon wheels on thecentral rotors, a spare rotor wheel, and a lighting and signalling system.

Top of the rangeequipment for increased user-friendliness

High quality tines for maximumservice life- The 4 large diameter coil tines used on

Kuhn Gyrotedders must meet extremelystringent quality standards. In addition toheat treatment, Kuhn tines undergo anadditional special process which substan-tially increases resistance to fatigue.

- The test requirement of Kuhn tines is to withstand a minimum of at least180,000 full flex cycles on a test bench.All genuine KUHN tines bear the KUHNstamp.

Small diameter rotors

- The rotor articulation range and floatingswivel hitch of the KUHN Gyroteddersallow the tedder to faithfully follow theground contours and thus fully turn overthe forage.

- The tedder tines skim the surface, lift thecrop while minimising ground contactwhich could damage plant roots andcontaminate hay with soil.

- Fast drying thanks to the efficient turning over

Approach the swath along the centre line of the rotor

When a swath is lying on the ground, the partwith most moisture and which is most compactis located along the centre and close to theground. Tedding too high can leave 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24”) of crop untedded. If theswath is approached along the centre line of a rotor, at the point where the tines are closestto the ground, this ensures that crop is entirelylifted.

Set the rotor angle

Depending on the nature of the crop andstubble height the various settings for rotorangle enable the KUHN Gyrotedder to be setto properly turn over the entire crop. It is notsubject to leaf loses due to overly aggressivetedding or excessive speed, nor “lumps” beingformed as a result of being thrown too close to the ground.

Making night windrows

Crop dries approximately 8 hours a day.During the night, its moisture content increasesagain with the humidity in the air. In case ofimportant dew, drying becomes even more difficult.The Kuhn advantage: Making night windrows with the 2-speed reduction gearboxreduces the amount of crop exposed to humidity.

Fine tuning of the rotor angle

Fine-tuning of the rotor angle and tine heightis performed using the top link on fully mounted tedders or the adjustment crank ontrailed tedders. Tines should be set to skim the ground without scraping it.

1. Fast dryingWith up to 30-35 % humidity, crops loose sugar and proteins due to plant breathing and micro-organisms.

2. Gentle crop handlingWith less than 40 % humidity, crop becomes delicate and prone to leaf loss, especially for leguminous plants.

3. Even drying of the whole cropFor silage making and baling, the differences in moisture level causes uneven fermentation. For hay, a 15% humidity level must bereached to prevent its warming up and mould from developing. The protein digestibility of “warm” crop is reduced.

4. At any timeThrough limited exposure to sun and rain, the crop’s value is preserved, preventing in particular the loss in vitamin A, which improvescow fertility, udder development, milk production and the strength of newly born calves.

All along the drying process

KUHN Gyrotedders

Using the Gyrotedder gently for the last pass(reduced PTO speed and relatively highgroundspeed) limits leaf loss.

2-speed reduction gearbox for making night windrows

Is available as optional equipment, for makingsmall windrows in order to limit the exposureof crop to dew and rain.
