Kuhn Farm Machinery has added a new set of long-life blades to its range of parts for Optidisc mowers and mower conditioners.
The new Triple 5 blades are 5mm thick and have a 55mm cutting width, as opposed to the standard Kuhn blades thgat are 4mm thick and have a 46mm cutting width.
The new blades also feature a double-bevelled edge on the underside to facilitate self-sharpening, and are compatible with all bolt attachment or Fast-Fit versions of Kuhn’s Optidisc cutter bars manufactured since the end of 2011.
Tests carried out around the world have shown that the new Triple 5 blades last up to four or five times longer than standard knives due to their excellent anti-abrasive quality and high resistance to deformation.
Upgrading to the new blades enables operators to maximise mowing capacity during favourable weather windows as stoppages for maintenance or blade replacement are reduced. The new blades also produce a cleaner cut thanks to their self-sharpening design.
Triple 5 blades are available in packs of 20 at a recommended retail price of £2.49 each, while standard blades are available in packs of 24 at £1.02 (prices correct at June 2018).
