GF série1012 and GF série1012T from Kuhn, new mounted and trailed rotary tedders

Small plots are no longer a problem with the new mounted and trailed rotary tedders. The mounted GF 8712 and GF 10812 as well as the trailed GF 8712 T and GF 10812 T are introduced with 8 and 10 rotors for working widths of 8.70 m and 10.80 m. These new models in the 1012 series meet the needs of medium and large farms. They feature the new HLC headland lifting system.

Easier maneuvering
Gain confidence and work rate thanks to easy maneuvering:
- Reversing into corners.
- Making easy U-turns on headlands.
- Crossing fragmented fields without folding the machine. Ditches are no longer a problem.

The generous rotor clearance prevents any build-up of forage when maneuvering over large windrows.

The HLC system provides:
- easy positioning for fast, precise maneuvers on irregular areas or plots.
- quality forage, tedded only once on the headlands, to limit the intake of impurities.

Quality forage, even in the corners
Rotary tedders with small-diameter rotors convinced the DLG experts who tested one of our models. Among the points that won their approval were the complete turning of the forage and the high quality of spreading in grass silage and hay. The table below summarizes the results of the ?DLG Fokus? test.

Stable on the road
Mounted version

The patented connection system between the hitch head and the machine beam provides all of the following:
- Ideal suspension during transport.
- Perfect stability in turns and during work.
- Proper load transfer between the machine and the tractor.

Width and height do not exceed standard road transport dimensions:
- 3 meters wide.
- 3,35 and 3,65 meters high respectively for the GF 8712 and GF 10812.
Access to fields is easy thanks to the short length and the large clearance under the rotors.

Trailed version

Compactness in transport is among the best on the market:
- 3 meters wide.
- 3,15 and 3,30 meters high respectively for the GF 8712 T and GF 10812 T.

Maneuverability is excellent and travel is made easier.

The 3-point hitch and the cleverly placed transport wheels allow the necessary weight transfer between the machine and the tractor. This applies during work, when lifting the rotors to pass over a windrow, and when folding/unfolding.

Maneuvering is made easier thanks to the wide transport wheels (300 mm), placed close to the machine's pivot axis. The machine's responsiveness in turns while working makes driving that much easier
