2020 Kuhn North America GMD 355

The KUHN GMD 355 mounted disc mower is great for operators who are looking for versatility, high cutting performance and durability.

The KUHN GMD 355 disc mower provides operators with increased durability, enhanced features and a cleaner look for years of low maintenance hay production. Equipped with KUHN’s 100 Series cutterbar, the GMD 355 has proven cutting performance in the field. It has also been reinforced with heavy-duty outer bearing stations to support both ends of the cutterbar. These supports greatly improve the durability of the cutterbar, especially when it is used in difficult conditions. The swath wheel improves crop flow by providing positive engagement of the crop. The spring suspension of the cutting unit has adaptive flotation for the cutterbar to float over uneven terrain. The mechanical breakaway protects the mower along fence lines and field edges in case an obstacle is struck.

Direct Drive Design

The GMD 355 mower has a direct drive through the first disc into the 100 Series cuttbar. This allows more clearance to not catch crop from previously made windrows.

Due to the high reliability, excellent crop cutting, and overall adaptability to varying terrains, the 100 Series cutterbar is a staple in the Premium Series. 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 GMD 355 mower comes with an adjustable outside swath wheel. The swath wheel improves crop flow by providing more positive engagement of crop to leave the cutterbar, especially in taller crops. Additionally, the swath wheel allows a greater degree of swath width adjustment and leaves a clearly defined edge for the next pass.

The cutterbar and curtain frame are supported on the outside of the machine. The support frame is equipped with two integrated bumpers to reduce shocks from the cutterbar when working in rough field conditions.
