Kuhn GMD 240. Ordered back in May, didn't expect to see it for 12 months and ended up arriving in October.

Thanks to CNH's big wing design/Kuhns big skirt design we had to tick the option for the hydraulic push back as the front skirt would hit the wing, after 10 years of not having to fold it up with our old one we weren't going to start now, especially with the amount of small fields we do. Doesn't stick out the side at all which is another bonus.

Have since discovered Kuhn now make a new model straight cut 9ft over centre fold with the ability to be parked up folded up as well, but not available in the UK for at least another year apparently. Reason we didn't go with a 9ft straight up fold as it would just be too high with a lot of places we go have over hanging branches, the over centre fold would take it out of potential harms way.

Same annoyance with our 4,1m Kuhn. But iirc even the 5610 Massey had the same problem with it.

How have they made the breakaway system work with the push back ram there? I'm thinking of doing something similar to my Disco, it's far too high in transport position but I see it has a pivoting headstock which would allow it to be pushed back. Don't know about the driveshaft though.
