We were once told by mechanic that worked at our local machinery dealership that sold both kuhn and class "if you hit something with a kuhn front mower ring me, I'll come sort it. If you hit something with a class front mower, ring the insurance"
Have you had a chance to try the Deere or the Claas yet? I hear the Claas is hard to drive especially with 11ft backs. From what I'm hearing if you tried the new Kuhns you wouldn't want the old ones. The power requirement of the new ones with 11ft backs seems similar to the old type 10fts.
BBC have already changed their mind about next week being good
what is better with new style kuhns? Problems at 1st glance is front mower is massive and 18inch longer, rears sit very wide and no side shift. So basically look awkward getting in places.
I haven't driven them and the first thing I said when I saw them was the size of the front mower, but I haven't heard of any problems getting into places. The steel tine conditioner on the new ones is the main plus point, it gets rid of the grass so there's less chance of the mowers blocking. Isn't there individual adjustment for the overlap on each rear mower rather than side shift? In theory it should be a better system, allowing you to run less overlap in ideal conditions.
More concerned about side shift for getting round trees and in gates etc, I'm sure they'll be fine in the field although steel conditioner on current front is no better than plastic one.
They must've changed something else, maybe something on the bed, to stop them blocking.

How many acres you cutting?
Cut 220 of mines. Sheep on rest
Didn't take long to cut that with that gear
Four hours around here.
Contractor wanted in early today so I said come give me a hand and then I cut with him last night and today to make it even ,having some of your own gear has certainly helped this year you can do all sorts of deals with people. But you need operators thankfully my younger brother is shaping up to be a good one, I’m not I’m flat to the mat
