2024 Kuhn FC 3561 TCD RA Base

2024 Kuhn FC 3561 TCD RA

The FC 3561 TCD RA is ideal for operators making haylage/baleage, or custom operators looking for a mower conditioner also capable of merging in a single pass. The machine can be used solely as a mower conditioner with the windrow merger in the raised position for use in dry hay applications.

The KUHN FC 3561 TCD RA center-pivot trailed disc mower conditioner with windrow merger sets a new level of reliability and durability in the market. The trailed machine incorporates the heavy-duty lubed-for-life Optidisc® Elite cutterbar utilizing a through-bolted design. The ability to vary conditioning intensity to match harvesting windows is assured with the use of the 2-speed DigiDry® finger conditioner. Operators have the ability to lay the windrow out wide like a standard machine or merge the windrow to either side with the rear mounted foldable windrow merging system providing more diversity in windrow placement.

Features may include:

• The Optidisc® Elite cutterbar provides a flat, streamlined profile so that soil and crop residue do not accumulate and material flows smoothly, even in heavy, difficult crop conditions. These mowers come standard with the Fast-Fit® quick release knife system. Optidisc Elite cutterbars are designed and tested with a zero oil change interval. The highly-polished gears and synthetic gear oil ensure that this system does not require any regular internal maintenance, eliminating the need for cutterbar oil changes throughout the life of the machine.

• The innovative design of the Optidisc Elite cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.

• Protectadrive® Safety: Every minute saved during the hay season is precious. Ultimate protection, from the externally removable Protectadrive disc bearing stations, provides maximum reliability and quick service. In the event of an impact between a disc and an obstacle, the shaft holding the disc can shear just above the bearing. This is thanks to its carefully dimensioned shear groove. As a result, the gear teeth are protected.

• The torsion bar suspension system provides exceptional flotation to precisely follow ground contours. The torsional resistance can be easily fine-tuned to match the header ground pressure to different field conditions and operating speeds. A built-in slotted linkage eliminates the need to run the hydraulics in the float position.

• The adjustable forming shields allow the windrow width to be varied to match different harvest practices and weather conditions. Indicators allow you to precisely match the setting on both sides. When not in use the shields are easily removed and placed in the storage position on the tongue.

• The rear hood can be set either for windrow formation or flipped over to engage fins for wide spreading. The hood can be angled up and down in the windrow position to form neater windrows. It can be easily flipped to the opposite side on wide spreading models. Both sides have tilt adjustability to either stand crop up for windier conditions or lay crop flat for sunnier conditions. Widespread fins standard on finger conditioner models and optional on roller models.

• The merger on the mower offers the operator more diversity in windrow placement. The wide merger conveyor allows the crop to be easily and gently transferred into the windrow. The merger conveyor belt can be angled and has individual conveyor lift abilities. No tools are needed for belt tensioning adjustments and the merger can be dismounted from the mower.
