Expand productivity with extendedworking widths and high capacitywhile maintaining manoeuvrability reduce operating costs in the field. Benefit from a long list of useful innovations such as DIGIDRIVE multiple finger couplings increasethe service life of the machine andreduce maintenance costs. Quality and reliability from the world s leading manufacturer of rotary tedders solid support anda high resale offers solutions for tedding while meeting your requirements in terms of:KUHN GyroteddersCOST REDUCTIONSGOOD PRACTICESCOMFORT QUALITY OF LIFEPEACE OF MIND - SERVICESPROXIMITY ADVICES3 Minimised lift requirementThe compact hitch design considerablyreduces the distance from the tractor tothe implement s centre of gravity.

2 Lowhorsepower tractors can be used with aminimum of front the tines safely pointed inward thetransport width is reduced to m (7 1 ). Specially designed for low power tractors, these tedders are ideal for use on small or hillyareas. An operating width of m or m and nevertheless very compact for transport, these machines can access any field corner with great ease. The small diameter rotors ensure impeccable tedding quality for fast drying and quality tedders with all the features of large KUHN teddersGyroteddersGF 3701 MH - GF 4201 MHWorking width (DIN) (m/ft) 9 Number of rotors4 Number of tine arms per rotor6 Rotor driveThrough DIGIDRIVE -couplingHeadstockPivoting Tyres15 x BalloonWeight (kg/lbs)452GF 3701GF 4201 2 44 Fixed327 Easy folding and unfoldingIn order to change from the working position to the transport position, theouter rotors are raised manually to thevertical headstock: true mobilityThe pivoting headstock provides flexibili-ty and manoeuvrability.

Transport locks are also released from thetractor using a release pivot by 180 Once raised, the rotors lock For additional security and reduced storage requirements, rotors pivot 180 .- With the tines safely pointed inward theoverall transport width is also wheels- Wheel height adjustment is through aneccentric. The turn of a simple handlealters the angle of the machine to bestsuit the density and stubble height of Wheels are also capable of being turned manually for oblique operation,as at the edges of fields and swaths in a single passWith a width of 5 m (16 5 ), the GF 5001 MH and T Gyrotedders are recommended foruse with a 2 m (6 7 ) disc mower where three swaths are tedded without the tractor running over the crop.

5 In the transport position the width of thetedder does not exceed m (9 2 ).The width is below m (9 10 ).7AB Pro tines- Deflectors A prevent crop build up for improved spreading, - The uneven strand length B provides improved raking and increased tine service widths of m(18 10 ) and m (21 ) ! To preserve fodder palatabili-ty: these tedders fitted with 6 small diameter rotors areideally suited to pick up 3 swaths from 2 m (6 7 ) m (7 10 ) cutting widthmowers. In addition to being easilyoperated this tedder s greaterwidth provides a higher output in the small diameter rotors, driven through DIGIDRIVE couplings, a stabilized headstock, hydraulic setting tooblique running (MHO version),and the lighting system fitted as standard are a few of thefeatures of these Top-of-the-line Gyrotedders .

The GF 6401T/GF 8501 T/GF 8501 TOand GF 10601 TO Gyroted-ders present the ideal solution to this lift problem. The use of a semi-mounteddesign allows these teddersto be operated with tractorsas small as 37 kW (50 hp).Though large in size thesetedders are easy to handleand can achieve an impres-sive work rate. The GF 10601 TO can tedd up to 12 ha (30 acres) per hour with a workingwidth of m (34 9 ).As far as transport isconcerned, this is carriedout easily, thanks in parti-cular to the integral foldingof the outer width (DIN) (m/ft) 11 9 Number of rotors6810 Number of tine arms per rotor666 Rotor driveThrough DIGIDRIVE -couplingsHitch Semi-mounted 2 points on lower drawbarTyres on rotor wheelsBalloon 15 x 6 / Mega Balloon 220/50-6 on central rotorsTyres on transport wheels145 x 13195/65 R 1526 x position settingManualHydraulicWeight (kg/lbs)1100/24251350/29761470/32401890/ 4166GF 6401 TGF 8501 TGF 8501 TO GF 10601 TO12 Thorough, even, teddingThe articulated frame and small diameterrotors ensure the crop is turned over in itsentirety.
