The KUHN Mower Conditioner fitted with conditioning rotor complete with free swinging
fingers and adjustable comb has been specially designed for natural grasses but also
gives excellent results when mowing and conditioning grass and clover mixed crops.
KUHN Mower Conditioners fitted with roller conditioners are particularly suitable
for working in lucerne / alfalfa and clover crops.
The instability of the weather makes the preparation of good hay precarious.
Consequently we have designed the KUHN Mower Conditioner to speed the drying cycle
by some 50 % on natural grasses with the subsequent added advantage of reducing to
a minimum the risk period during which the hay is exposed to the vagaries of the
weather.
Making hay by conventional methods needs 3 to 5 days after mowing ; the Kuhn Mower
Conditioner in reasonable weather will reduce the moisture content to 20% in 1 1/
2 to 2 days or it will prepare wilted grass for silage reducing the moisture content
to 60% in 4 to 5 hours.
To obtain the very best hay quality from your crop, you should, after using the Mower
Conditioner, leave the grass for 1 to 2 hours and then use a tedder on it twice.
For example, if cutting took place at 6 or 7.30 am, then it should be tedded at 9.00
am and again at 11.00 am. If this practice is followed, with good weather, the crop
can very often be baled the same evening and the hay will retain the maximum food
value.
Never wait too long before tedding, otherwise the outer layer of hay becomes too dry
with increased losses and the total drying time will be delayed.
Acceleration of the drying process.
