Why is there insufficient tailgate power in my KUHN Farm Equipment?
- Q
  qramosAug 20, 2025
  Insufficient tailgate power during loading with your KUHN Farm Equipment may stem from a hydraulic problem. Verify that the hydraulic connection between the tractor and the machine is correctly set up for both pressure and return. It is also recommended to have your dealer check the hydraulic pressure (180 bars) and the pump flow (30 l/min.). The return pressure should be at least 8 bar when the tractor engine is at its nominal speed.

  If you're experiencing difficulty folding or unfolding the cover on your KUHN Farm Equipment, the issue might be related to a hydraulic problem. Begin by checking the hydraulic connection between the tractor and the machine, ensuring that the pressure and return lines are correctly connected. For a more thorough check, have your dealer inspect the hydraulic pressure (180 bars) and pump flow (30 l/min.). Also, make sure the return pressure is at least 8 bar when the tractor engine is running at its nominal speed.

  If the turbine is rotating and the conveyor and beater bar are moving forward, but no product is appearing in your KUHN Farm Equipment, consider the following: - Ensure the conveyor speed is set to an appropriate mark. - Decompress the product inside the body using a grab. - Briefly switch the conveyor to reverse and then back to forward motion. - Check the hydraulic connections.

What to do if my KUHN Farm Equipment turbine fails to rotate?
- A
  Adrian TrevinoAug 26, 2025
  If your KUHN Farm Equipment turbine fails to rotate or the overload clutch is slipping, it might be jammed. To resolve this: 1. Switch off the tractor engine and disengage the tractor PTO. 2. Check for any product buildup in the turbine. 3. If there's a buildup, use the hook on the left-hand side of the machine to pull out the jammed product at the distribution chute or beater bar. 4. Use a lever to ensure the turbine can rotate freely. 5. Once released, run the turbine empty for a few seconds until it reaches its normal working speed.

Why is the turbine rattling when PTO is engaged on my KUHN ALTOR 4560 Farm Equipment?
- T
  tonyharrellAug 28, 2025
  If the turbine is rattling when the PTO is engaged on your KUHN Farm Equipment, it's likely due to the clutch slipping intermittently. To address this, gradually engage the PTO to a suitable speed. If your machine has a free wheel transmission and your tractor has a hydraulic PTO clutch, consult your dealer, as there may be an issue with the progressive clutch rate, regardless of tractor engine speed.

Why is the chute movement too slow on my KUHN Farm Equipment?
- D
  delgadochristinaAug 29, 2025
  If the chute movement is too slow or impossible on your KUHN Farm Equipment, it could be due to flow limiters not being open enough or the machine being empty (or nearly empty) while the discharge conveyor is running. Try adjusting the flow limiters. You can also stop the conveyor to maneuver the chute.

  Joshua PughAug 31, 2025
  If the chute movement is too quick on your KUHN Farm Equipment, the flow limiters are likely open too far. Try adjusting the flow limiters.

Why hydraulic functions do not work on my KUHN Farm Equipment?
- J
  Jacqueline ChapmanSep 2, 2025
  If the hydraulic functions on your KUHN Farm Equipment aren't working, there are several possible causes: * Check if the hoses are correctly connected to the tractor distributor. Ensure the valves open properly, as dirt can obstruct their function. * Verify that the battery voltage exceeds 11 volts. * Confirm that the original tractor distributor is in the continuous pumping position (except for the hydraulic system). * Ensure the control box switch is in position 1 or 2. * Check the electrical power cable of the control box is connected. * Make sure the battery supply reaches the socket and verify the socket's polarity.

What to do if the blower does not turn and the friction clutch slips on my KUHN Farm Equipment?
- P
  Paul LarsenSep 4, 2025
  If the blower isn't turning and the friction clutch is slipping, it could be due to a blocked blower. First, disengage the tractor PTO and switch off the engine. Then, check the blower for any product buildup. If necessary, use the hook inside the casing on the left side to remove trapped product from the distribution chute or bale separators. Use a lever to rotate the turbine freely. After releasing any blockage, operate the blower with no load for a few seconds until it reaches normal running speed. You can access the inside of the blower through a hatch on the left front of the machine to help with removal.

What to do if there is a lack of power in the hook of my KUHN Farm Equipment?
- R
  Russell CantrellSep 6, 2025
  If you notice a lack of power in the hook of your KUHN Farm Equipment, it may be due to a hydraulic problem. Ensure the hydraulic connection between the tractor and the machine is correct for both pressure and return. Also, check the hydraulic pressure (190 bar) and the pump output (45 l/min). The return pressure should not exceed 8 bar at the tractor's set engine speed.
