Kuhn adds pick-up to twin-rotor rake

The most important part of the twin-rotor GA 8131CL (8.0m) rake is the 1.8m pick-up.Mounted on the frame ahead of the rotors, the patented technique lifts and aerates the central material not worked by the two rotors.Part of the standard spec of the centre-delivery twin-rotor rake, the diameter of the hydraulically-powered pick-up is 480mm. Rotation speed is controlled by a hydraulic valve, and the pick-up is lifted and lowered automatically during headland manoeuvres. Minimum tractor power requirement is 60hp.The project to develop a solution to get more air into the material started in 2016. A number of systems were considered, including a rotor, but this diverted the material to one side.For more up-to-date farming news click here and subscribe now to profi for just £3.99 an issue.Share this:TwitterFacebookRedditWhatsApp by Steven Vale More From This Author
