SIMPLY GREAT FORAGE ! In the current climate of expensive concentrate prices and the need to increase productivity and cost efficiency in milk and meat production, the value of forage in a basic ration is more important than ever. Mowing is the first important step in the hay and silage-making process and different methods can be used to ensure optimal nutritional value in the forage. By listening to farmers’ needs and translating them into specific solutions, KUHN mowers have been upgraded in order to harvest all the goodness in the forage.

Cutting at the right height Ensuring a clean and even cut Double cutting has to be prevented, as it results in leaf loss and damage to the forage which then becomes more prone to disease. That’s why the cutter bar and discs have been designed to promote forage flow towards the swath and to prevent soil being incorporated into the forage. Grass must be cut not chopped The crop should be quickly ejected into the swath and only cut once. Doublecutting causes higher crop losses, delays regrowth and increases the power requirement on the tractor. Nutritional value in MJ/kg DM. - ewer impurities...

In order to do so, plant stubble has to be preserved and forage contamination from impurities kept to a minimum. The OPTIDISC ELITE cutter bar was developed in partnership with the people who use it; farmers, in order to get the best from the forage and increase farm profits. The very large knife overlap, reduced cutting angle and converging disc rotation enhance the...
