2025 Kuhn FC D RA Series 13460

2025 Kuhn FC D RA Series 13460

The FC D RA Series mower conditioner/merger combinations are ideal for operators making haylage/baleage, or custom operators looking for a mower conditioner with the added capability of merging in a single pass.

The KUHN FC D RA Series works in combination with the FC 3125 DF or FC 3525 DF front mounted machines allowing operators to cut and condition up to 44' (13.4 m) in one pass, with impressive industry-leading features. This machine incorporates the heavy-duty Optidisc® Elite cutterbar utilizing a through-bolted design and is lubed-for-life. Operators can use the 2-speed DigiDry® finger conditioner and lay the windrow out wide like a standard machine or merge the windrow to the center of the machine with the rear mounted foldable windrow merger system, allowing the operator 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.

• Less Distance for a Clean Cut - Narrower spacing at diverging discs provides greater knife overlap, which results in a clean cut, even when the grass is short or light.

• More Distance for Easy Crop Passage - Wider spacing at converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass. Cut crop is quickly carried away from the cutting area, greatly improving the cut quality.

The Fast-Fit® quick-release knife system allows an operator to rapidly change out cutting knives with the use of a simple tool, yet still retain optimum cut quality and knife life. With Fast-Fit, an operator can achieve up to 50% time savings over a standard system.

Lift-Control is much more than just a suspension system with a nitrogen accumulator replacing the traditional spring. The main advantage of the Lift-Control system is derived from the exclusive way in which kinetic forces that act on the cutterbar are utilized. KUHN engineers have succeeded in making a dynamic suspension system, as opposed to the passive system most commonly used.

With the Lift-Control system, as the force exerted on the cutterbar increases, the suspension system automatically lightens the cutterbar. The greater the force, the lighter the cutterbar.

Benefits include:

• Constant ground pressure

• Non-stop safety breakaway

• Excellent terrain following

• Less soil in the crop

• Minimize torn up turf

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.
