    Why is there uneven stubble with my KUHN FC313 RF?
    • M
      Matthew ChenJul 29, 2025
      Uneven stubble can occur due to several reasons. First, check for dull or broken knives and replace them if needed. Ensure the knives are installed correctly, with the arrow on the knife's upper face pointing in the disc's direction of rotation. Also, verify that the PTO speed is at the correct level. If it's too low, increase the speed to 1000 min-1.

      Badly shaped windrows can be caused by a too low PTO speed. Increase the speed to 1000 min-1. It can also be caused by an incorrect swath shield adjustment. Adjust the swath shields to resolve this issue.

    Why is soil building up in front of the cutterbar on my KUHN FC313 RF Farm Equipment?
    • B
      Brian PriceAug 7, 2025
      Soil build-up in front of the cutterbar could be due to too much cutterbar down pressure. Increase the pressure in the hydro-pneumatic accumulators and adjust the main frame height with regards to the ground. It can also happen in very wet working conditions.

      Andrea ThompsonAug 12, 2025
      For bad ground contour adaptation, check the main frame setting and adjust the main frame height with regards to the ground. Reduce ground speed if it's excessive. Also, consider that insufficient ground pressure can be the reason. If so, reduce pressure in the hydro-pneumatic accumulators.
