    Why is my KUHN Lawn Mower cutter bar clogging?
    • M
      Mark WhitakerAug 15, 2025
      Cutter bar clogging in your KUHN Lawn Mower can occur due to several reasons. Dull or broken knives may be the cause, so replace them. The overload clutch may be slipping, so check that the torque limiter is functioning and adjust the clutch if needed. Also, too much cutterbar down pressure, too low PTO speed, or stretched/worn belts can cause this issue. Adjust the mowing unit ground pressure, increase the PTO speed ensuring it corresponds to the tractor's nominal speed, or tighten/replace the belts, respectively.

    What to do if my KUHN Lawn Mower has uneven stubble?
    • L
      Lori ChapmanAug 21, 2025
      If your KUHN Lawn Mower is leaving uneven stubble, there are several potential causes. The knives might be dull or broken, in which case you should replace them. Ensure the knives are installed correctly, with the arrow on the upper face pointing in the disc's direction of rotation. Excessive ground speed, incorrect cutting height, or incorrect mowing unit floatation could also be factors. Reduce ground speed, adjust the cutting height, or adjust the mowing unit ground pressure to resolve these issues. Tangled and down crops or very wet working conditions may also contribute; in these cases, reduce the cutting height and adjust the mowing unit ground pressure.
