Mounted twin-rotor rake increases versatility
Kuhn Farm Machinery has introduced a 7.4m wide, mounted twin-rotor rake aimed at small and medium sized farms where a single-rotor rake has reached its output limit or field access prohibits trailed machines.
The 7.4m GA 7631 P has standard hydraulic working width adjustment to create central swaths from 1.3-2.2m, in a wide range of forage types. For transport, users can swiftly transition between field and road as all tine arms can remain in place, with the rake measuring 2.8m wide and 4m long.
Sam Alford, the companies grassland product specialist, says: “Mounted twin-rotor rakes might not be as popular as their trailed equivalents in the UK, but the manoeuvrability allows users to access hard to reach fields with a machine that offers output to match a trailed rake.”
The GA 7631 P joins an extensive range of twin-rotor rakes and features several well-established components, such as the Masterdrive GII maintenance-free gearbox for reduced regular maintenance requirements. Tine arm bearings have greasing intervals every 200 hours. To lower contamination, the rake’s rotors offer 3D articulation in all directions to follow ground contours accurately and collect all cut crop.
Standard working height adjustment is manual via a crank arm but is also available as a hydraulic feature. Other regular rake adjustments, such as folding, unfolding and individual rotor lift can be actioned from the tractor cab. Weighing just 1.5t, the GA 7631 P can be operated on medium sized tractors of just 140hp as the centre of gravity is positioned closer to the tractor.
The GA 7631 P is the ideal rake for users requiring a compact and manoeuvrable design but requiring output similar to trailed twin-rotor models. It uses renowned features that are proven on other GA models, providing longevity and ease of use for operators,” says Sam.
