2024 Kuhn FC 61 TL Series 3161 TLS

KUHN FC 61 TL Series side-pull are reliable mower conditioners with advanced features yet have the operational simplicity you want and the performance you demand for the maximum return on investment. Working widths range from 8’10” to 11’6”.

KUHN FC 61 TL Series mower conditioners offer fast, clean mowing of heavy grasses and delicate forage crops alike, combined with quick drydown from effective conditioning. With a broad range of windrow width settings, along with finger, rubber roller and steel roller conditioning options, KUHN mower conditioners offer unmatched adaptability to different harvest practices and field conditions.

The rugged Gyrodine® swivel hitch makes sharp turns and square corners simple. The lubed-for-life Optidisc® Elite cutterbar with Fast-Fit® blades provides unmatched simplicity and fast maintenance. Outstanding suspension provides fast, precise flotation to adapt to various crop and field conditions. These advanced features, combined with simple adjustments and low maintenance, make KUHN mower conditioners the premier machines on the market.

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. 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 cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.

• Unlike competitive models that require daily greasing, the drive shaft to the cutterbar uses maintenance-free U-joints. These joints reduce overall time greasing the machine and eliminate excessive wear from improper maintenance.

• 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 main gearbox is the core of the unit, specially built by KUHN to efficiently and reliably transfer power to the cutterbar and conditioner. The direct drive eliminates periodic checks on belt tightness and wear.

• This maintenance-free system allows the machine to quickly adapt to abrupt changes in terrain or when an obstruction is encountered in the field. The cutting head is able to move up and back simultaneously, dissipating the force of any impact and providing space to clear the obstacle.

• The heavy-duty Gyrodine® gearbox is designed to withstand the most severe pull-through force from the hitch to the machine. The swivel design allows turns in excess of 90° while keeping the PTO driveline straight. This design allows extremely tight turns for clean, square corners while minimizing PTO vibration and wear.
