Servicing a Kuhn power harrow

[Everydaysabonus]

Bought a 4 meter folding Harrow last year, it’s a 2001. No idea of service history so think it will need doing. Anyone know what needs to be done other than gearbox oil. Anyone know how much they hold and what oil it should take?

Ring Andy guest for the best advice...

Was thinking that but didn’t know wether they’d appreciate giving advice for Nout as wouldn’t be buying anything

They're very helpful.depends how far your going with a service....if removing the trough lid you will fill with new grease and they know the quantities etc.only other thing you can service is the packer bearings.we did up our own six metre .replaced some seals on the rotors here and there and then refilled the grease in the trough.some people put a filler neck on the trough lid while it's off so you can see in and add grease if you think it's low or leaks a bit ...not a bad idea maybe but we didnt.

Just jumping in here can the rotor bearings be changed from outside or is it a top off job I’ve done then in the past but had the top off anyway

I think Kuhn manuals are on their website

Would look at skip clutch aswell

37.5 kg of EP0 grease in troughs of a 4m and HD 85w/140 gear oil in gearbox, but unsure of quantity. Some later models do use 85w/140 in the trough instead of grease, but Andy Guest puts EPO in them.

Just done my gearbox and it said use EP90

Just going on what A Guest uses. Easy could be a GL5 90 in older ones. 85w/140 gives a wider temperature range, especially as many nowadays have 200 + hp on them.

4m non folding is 6L EP90 in gear box iirc, not much else to service if nothing is leaking, just check packer bearings and hopefully it will have a dog clutch not friction plate slip clutch
