KUHN GF 13003: ingeniously designed for exceptional tedding

KUHN offers its customers the first mounted tedder on the market with a 13m working width: the GF 13003 model. 

This tedder is the perfect combination of a compact design of a 3-point mounted machine and a 13m working width with 12 rotors.

Exceptional tedding quality

Simple and efficient, the new GF 13003 mounted tedder will meet the standards of the most demanding users. Work output of the 13m width and 12 rotors is impressive. allowing for excellent ground following and forage turning, uniform forage spread on the ground, and optimum expansion/aeration quality.

The two outer rotors on the right of the machine pivot for tedding on field borders. This feature requires no additional hydraulic valve as it is an integral part of the machine’s kinematics, which prevents forage loss onto neighbouring plots.

A heavy-duty machine for intensive tedding

The OPTITEDD rotor, arms, and tines, all increase working capacity. The machine can operate in the most extreme conditions (heavy forage and stony ground), with the rigid chassis greatly reducing vibrations. The service life of the heavy-duty tines on the new rotor is twice as long as those on previous models.

Rotor wheel deflectors are fitted as standard to limit forage build-up on the wheel and column.

An easy-to-use tedder

The GF 13003 is easy to use, with one gearbox and two hydraulic valves for the different functions, such as folding/unfolding, oblique setting, and headland-turn position. It is simple and user friendly, eliminating operating errors.

Ingenious design features make this machine compact and safe for road travel. Its centre of gravity is close to the tractor allowing it to be coupled to a small-mid range powered tractor.

This new model includes all KUHN features

The GF 13003 includes all the features essential to reducing maintenance costs (DIGIDRIVE drive system, maintenance-free rotors) and producing impurity-free forage with high nutritional content (individual rotor articulation, asymmetrical tines for tedding parallel to the ground, wheels close to the rotors, and small-diameter rotors).

The HLC function (Headland Lift Control) makes it possible to lift all rotors, to provide high clearance at headlands and to facilitate manoeuvres. Consequently, the forage is tedded only once.
