The TBE 22 offset landscape mower is designed specifically for mowing roadsides, ditches, and hedges, with a range of operating angles. The TBE 22 is compatible with Cat. 2 and 3 hitches, which matches up well to common utility tractors found in municipal applications.
The KUHN TBE 22 offset mower is designed for mowing roadsides, ditches, and hedges. The pivoting head design allows the operator to work as steeply as 65 degrees below grade for steep ditches, or in a vertical upright position to tackle hedges and tree lines along paths or roadways. The heavy-duty driveline and large rotor diameter make quick work of grass or light branches. Two sets of counterknives welded into the hood liner help to process cut material into fine clippings for quick decomposition, returning nutrients to the soil. Depending on the application, the TBE 22 can have either universal or hammer knives for the best performance.
Features may include:
Hitch & OffsetThe TBE 22 is compatible with Cat. 2 and 3 hitches, which matches up well to common utility tractors found in municipal applications. The heavy-duty offset arm allows the machine to work either directly behind the tractor or offset to the right up to 35” (89 cm). The pivot pins feature hollow seal rings for long life. The mowing head can pivot up to 65 degrees below grade to work in steep ditches or along waterways, or up to 90 degrees above horizontal to reach hedges and trees along roads or walking paths in parks and other areas. ?
Central GearboxA wide-angle, low-maintenance PTO shaft connects the tractor with the central gearbox of the TBE 22. All models come standard with 1 3/8”, 6-spline coupler and the gearbox is rated for a 540 rpm input speed. The central gearbox is rated up to a maximum of 110 PTO horsepower to match up to the mid-sized utility tractors commonly found in municipal applications.
Rotor DriveThe gearbox directly connects to the top pulley of the belt drive system that runs the rotor. The TBE 22 uses four drive belts for durability under heavy loads. The belt drive cover is ventilated to reduce heat buildup and extend the life of the belt system. To make belt inspection and replacement easy, a single bolt holds the belt cover in place.?
