Provide a cost-effective and high-performance solution, offering many benefits including Lift-Control® suspension, cost savings, fewer repairs and reduced fuel consumption. FC 4 D Series mower conditioners offer working widths of 9’2” and 10’2”.

Today, farmers know the most important features are those that provide a cost-effective mowing operation and help make the highest quality crop possible. The KUHN FC 4 Series mounted mower conditioners are packed full of these features. The exclusive Lift-Control® suspension, with its clever design, combines ground pressure reduction of the mowing unit with break-away safety. Additionally, uniform weight distribution over the entire working width is achieved by the central pendulum articulation of the mowing unit. The results are perfect ground adaptation, a cleaner crop and considerable cost savings due to fewer repairs, less wear, and reduced fuel consumption. The conditioner is another decisive component on KUHN FC mower conditioners: the less drying time, the more the forage will retain is nutritional qualities. The DigiDry® finger conditioner allows for fast drying in all types of crops.

Proven 100 Series Cutterbar

• Due to the high reliability, excellent crop cutting, and overall adaptability to varying terrains, the 100 Series cutterbar is a staple in the FC 4 D Series machines. See for yourself by taking a closer look at what the 100 Series cutterbar has to offer:

• Withstands the highest loads: special high-capacity bearings fitted in a one-piece sealed housing are not subject to distortion.

• Increased service life: disc pinion shaft bearings endure radial forces for maximum bearing life. This optimum position improves the load balance.

• Protection should an obstacle be struck: the Protectadrive® system is designed to protect the cutterbar gear train and minimizes the risk of downtime.

• High-wear resistance: knife attachment hardware is fully protected. For added safety, heat-treated steel cups are welded to the disc.

• Minimum wear or distortion risks: idler gear fasteners are located in heat treated steel cups. Correct alignment is ensured without the risk of distortion.

• Long-term reliability: large-diameter gearwheels in high-tensile forged steel with reinforced teeth.

• Perfect sealing: top-quality o-rings used on cutterbar bearing housings for a perfect, leak-free seal.

The disc bearing station can be removed and mounted quickly and easily. Any needed repair is carried out at reduced costs from the outside with minimal downtime.

Both the FC 284 D and 314 D have been reinforced with heavy-duty outer bearing station supports on both ends of the cutterbar. These supports greatly improve durability of the cutterbar, especially when it is used in difficult conditions.

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.

Rotor speed can be adjusted from 615 to 888 RPM by switching the side pulleys. The slower speed is recommended when harvesting more delicate crops such as alfalfa.
