Kuhn conundrum

[glasshouse]

Anyone know how this thing works?
The rotors have to pass each other but they cant
Its meant to rake to the side

For sideraking both rotors turn the same direction, not like a conventional haybob/tedder.

Must be a transport and working position?
Move handle on middle bar?
Looks like holes in it??

Have you used one?
They cant seem to pass each other?

Timing must be out if they're hitting each other?

No, they both go same way
Not like a haybob

I have one similar, but doesn't have the angle adjustment on the frame. The 2 rotors turn the same way and just miss each other. 3 tines per arm on the second rotor. Luckily it does very little as it is sloooooooow. Pic to follow.

Its like a haybob 360 you can convert it from a conventional tedder to a side rake by changing the angle and altering the direction of one rotor.I have used a haybob 360 but not your kuhn machine.

If you google Kuhn GRS25.3GP there is a video on youtube with an Italian/spaniard ? explaining how to make the changes.

This is side delivery only, and wheels are fixed. Looks like yours have different angle for centre mode.

@Andrew didnt we rebuild one of these including re timing the cam section ?

Oh Lord! I had one of those back in the day. Superb quality machine as far as build but I never could get it to work cleanly.
Start it up and you'll see how it works. The hay passes across the front of both rotors, but I can't remember the details because I used very little of it and it was back in the 1970's, 45 years ago or even longer.

Think every part of it got rebuilt at one time or another. Can’t remember much about it though, was maybe 3-4 handles / adjustments to swap between tedding and raking though?

Seem to think that rollpin top centre of the rotors had a habit of snapping and dropping the rotor out?

It's coming back to me in dribs and drabs. Wasn't it the GA402? Riverlea Tractors sold us ours back in the day but we only kept it for a couple of years. 'Twas the devil's work!
