With 44’ (13.4 m) of working width, in combination with a front-mounted mower conditioner, the FC 13460 D RA boasts the largest working width on the market while incorporating easy-to-use ISOBUS controls. This machine includes the heavy-duty Optidisc^® Elite cutterbar utilizing a through-bolted design and is lubed-for-life. Operators can use the 2-speed DigiDry^® finger conditioner and lay the windrow out wide like a standard machine or merge the windrow to the center of the machine with the rear mounted foldable windrow merger system, allowing the operator more diversity in windrow placement.

Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar

Lubed-For-Life Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar

The Optidisc^® Elite cutterbar provides a flat, streamlined profile so that soil and crop residue do not accumulate, and material flows smoothly, even in heavy, difficult crop conditions. These mowers come standard with the Fast-Fit® quick release knife system. Optidisc cutterbars are designed and tested with a zero oil change interval. The highly-polished gears and synthetic gear oil ensure that this system does not require any regular internal maintenance, eliminating the need for cutterbar oil changes throughout the life of the machine.

Differential Disc Spacing

The innovative design of the Optidisc cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.

1. Less Distance for a Clean Cut

Narrower spacing at diverging discs provides greater knife overlap, which results in a clean cut, even when the grass is short or light.

2. More Distance for Easy Crop Passage

Wider spacing at converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass. Cut crop is quickly carried away from the cutting area, greatly improving the cut quality.

Standard Fast-Fit® Knives

The Fast-Fit® quick-release knife system allows an operator to rapidly change out cutting knives with the use of a simple tool, yet still retain optimum cut quality and knife life. With Fast-Fit, an operator can achieve up to 50% time savings over a standard system.

Protectadrive® Disc Bearing Stations

Every minute saved during the hay season is precious. Ultimate protection, from the externally removable Protectadrive disc bearing stations, provides maximum reliability and quick service. In the event of an impact between a disc and an obstacle, the shaft holding the disc can shear just above the bearing. This is thanks to its carefully dimensioned shear groove. As a result, the gear teeth are protected.

Extra Rigidity Where It Counts
Disc bearing stations are attached by bolts that pass through the entire cutterbar. This is an exceptionally strong and secure attachment with no risk of mount being torn out of the cutterbar in case of shocks. The disc drive pinion is held precisely in place, all resulting in excellent reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Gear-to-Gear Power Transmission
Gear-to-gear power transmission, a staple of all KUHN disc mowers, allows for maximum power to be transferred through all gears in the cutterbar. Unlike other gear cutterbars, equal sized gears throughout reduces torque on the gear teeth and leads to unsurpassed reliability and longevity.

Exceptional Maneuverability

Trailed Design

The FC 13460 D RA's trailed design offers exceptional maneuverability for quick turns on headlands or during transport.

ISOBUS Controls

With ISOBUS controls, operators can manage merger functions from the cab including ground pressure, unit lift, gearbox performance, belt rotation and more. Operators can also take advantage of functions such as GO/END, allowing the machine to automatically raise and lower into working positions at headland turns. Two standard work lights are also controlled through the ISOBUS system.

Lift-Control Hydropneumatic Suspension

The FC 13460 D RA Series contains a compact and lightweight design for the Lift-Control^® hydropneumatic suspension. The suspension system offers operators easy adjustability for fast operation. The suspension helps lower ash and soil incorporation. There is less component wear and tear especially when adapting to different terrain.

Active Non-Stop Safety Breakaway

The breakaway system is assisted by the Lift-Control hydropneumatic suspension. The breakaway opens by moving up and down. Operators can easily return to the working position after the mower clears the obstacle in the field.

FlexProtect Side Shields

On encountering an obstacle, the KUHN FlexProtect side covers bend without breaking or damaging the mower. After the obstacle’s passage, the side shield automatically returns back to its original shape.

Uniform Crop Conditioning

Windrow Mergers

The merger on the mower offers the operator more diversity in windrow placement. The wide merger conveyor allows the crop to be easily and gently transferred into the windrow. The merger conveyor belt can be angled and has individual conveyor lift abilities. No tools are needed for belt tensioning adjustments.

DigiDry® Finger Conditioner

The DigiDry^® finger conditioner provides consistent drying of grass and legume crops in various conditions with little maintenance. Wide rotor, fingerstyle conditioning increase crop-on-crop rubbing to strip off the waxy cuticle helping the steams dry at the same rate as the leaves. The built-in breakback feature normally protects against damage from rock and other foreign materials.

Direct Drive Design

The direct drive design to the conditioner provides easy access for servicing and fully eliminates belts. Reliability is greatly improved when working in longer crops such as ryegrass.

Equipment

AUX-N Joystick

For easier operation, operators can use the ISOBUS certified AUX-N Joystick. Operators can take advantage of functions such-as the GO/END function on headlands, which allows the machine to automatically raise and lower into working positions at headland turns. Management of the merger functions, Lift-Control^® ground pressure, and mowing unit lift. The interface also allows the operator to monitor the center gearbox performance and temperatures, along with conveyor belt rotation from the comfort of the cab. Two standard work lights are also mounted on the mower conditioner for better visibility when operating into the night. The lights are also controlled through the ISOBUS system.
