Kuhn Farm Machinery has added a new semi-mounted gyrorake to its range of hay and silage making equipment. With a 5.40m to 6.40m working width, the compact twin-rotor GA6501 machine includes all of the main features from Kuhn’s range-topping professional rakes, at a very attractive feature-to-price ratio.
The GA6501 delivers a central windrow from two rotating rakes that have an adjustable working width of 5.40m to 6.40m. Both rotors are equipped with 10-tine arms, each fitted with three tines per arm.
The new machine uses a fully enclosed mechanical gearbox that requires a tractor with a minimum power output of 40hp. It sits on three super balloon wheels (16 x 6.50-8) for improved ground tracking, and has folded transport dimensions of just 2.5m wide by 3.5m high, making it quick, easy and safe to move from one field to the next.
“High quality raking is only possible if the tines can follow undulating terrain in a smooth and controlled manner,” Kuhn Farm Machinery’s UK sales manager, Duncan McLeish, said. “As with all Kuhn gyrorakes, the GA6501 features a three-dimensional rotor articulation design that allows the raking units to closely follow ground contours without damaging the underlying grass stubble and without contaminating the crop with soil.”
An optional bogie axle further enhances the GA6501’s ground-following ability by aiding rotor guidance on the most difficult terrain, where the machine’s overall design ensures that high raking speeds are still possible.
“The GA6501 is perfect for grassland farmers who want a compact machine with a top-end specification,” Mr McLeish added. “It enables high-quality forage to be raked quickly and effectively, producing perfect windrows even when working in crops of varying densities or when working to a certain pick-up width.”
