Kuhn GF 502

Kuhn produces innovative rotary tedders to help speed hay harvesting. Uniformly tedded hay dries faster, preserving valuable nutrients. Kuhn tedders feature a number of innovations, including the reliable, maintenance-free Digidrive coupler, which provides unsurpassed reliability and compact transport and storage.

The Kuhn GF 502 mounted rotary tedder is designed to meet the needs of small-acreage hay producers who demand the highest quality tedding of forage to ensure even and quick drydown. This tedder is designed to excel at spreading short, thick crops. It matches up to mowers and mower conditioners of 7’ to 10’.

The exclusive Digidrive® finger drive coupling provides low maintenance, long life and increased safety. Small-diameter rotors ensure optimized tedding quality and ground following in the direction of travel. Adjustments are fast and easy without the need for tools to adapt to varying conditions.

Features may include:

• The small-diameter rotors provide gentle forage tedding while avoiding incorporation of soil into the forage. The drying rate is maximized while wet clumps are minimized as a result of the uniform distribution.

• Twenty individually mounted, pivoting tines feature nylon bearings to provide reliable performance and operation that is practically maintenance-free. The tine height and rotor pitch angle are quickly optimized for both tedding and raking by adjusting wheel columns and the tractor’s top link to obtain the desired setting. Each rotor basket is equipped with both narrow and wide tines to obtain a wide working area for high-capacity operation and faster working speeds.

• The outer rotors pivot 180° and can be folded and unfolded hydraulically from the tractor cab. The machine folds vertically for safe and compact transport.

• The asymmetrical tine finger length means both fingers tine the crop equally for a more consistent pickup. The outer finger engages earlier with the forage compare to symmetrical tines. This ensures a more even, complete tedding action.

• All adjustments are simple to make without the use of tools. This gets you in the field more quickly and your hay dry faster.
