    Why my KUHN Lawn Mower is producing badly shaped windrows?
    • L
      Lori RichardsAug 21, 2025
      If your KUHN Lawn Mower is producing badly shaped windrows, several factors could be responsible. First, check the PTO speed (rotational frequency) against the decal fitted on the machine. If the rotor speed is too high, select the turtle position to obtain a rotor speed of 780 min-1. Finally, ensure that both swath shields are correctly adjusted.

    What to do if I have wide spreading of poor quality with my KUHN Farm Equipment?

      Brad DuranSep 3, 2025
      If you're experiencing wide spreading of poor quality, the cover position might be incorrect. Tip the cover over the wide spreading device.

    What to do if there is an obstruction of conditioning rotor on my KUHN FC3160TCD?
    • C
      Christina MitchellSep 1, 2025
      If there is an obstruction of the conditioning rotor, it could be due to insufficient rotor speed. Adjust the finger conditioning rotor speed. Check the PTO speed, referring to the decal fitted on the machine, as a too low PTO speed can also cause this. Also check if the swath shields are too closed, and open them if necessary.

    Why is my KUHN FC3160TCD rotor finger rattling?
    • S
      Samantha SmithAug 31, 2025
      A rotor finger rattle can occur due to insufficient rotor speed. Select the rabbit position to obtain a rotor speed of 1000 min-1. The conditioning hood may also be too closed; position the rotor conditioning hood further away. Excessive ground speed can also cause this issue, so reduce your ground speed.

    What to do if I have badly shaped windrows with my KUHN FC3160TCD Farm Equipment?

      Brittney JacksonAug 29, 2025
      Badly shaped windrows can be caused by a PTO speed that is too low. Check the PTO speed, referring to the decal on the machine. Alternatively, the rotor speed might be too high; select the turtle position to obtain a rotor speed of 780 min-1. Finally, ensure that both swath shields are correctly adjusted.

    What to do if my KUHN FC3160TCD requires too much pull power?
    • J
      Jody JonesAug 28, 2025
      If your machine requires too much pull power, the cutterbar down pressure might be too high. Adjust the mowing unit ground pressure to resolve this.

    What to do if soil builds up in front of the cutterbar on my KUHN FC3160TCD Farm Equipment?
    • D
      David BridgesAug 27, 2025
      If soil builds up in front of the cutterbar, it may be due to too much cutterbar down pressure. Adjust the mowing unit ground pressure to alleviate this. This issue may also arise in very wet working conditions, so consider adjusting both the mowing unit ground pressure and the cutting height.

    Why is there uneven stubble with my KUHN FC3160TCD?
    • K
      Kevin DrakeAug 25, 2025
      Uneven stubble can occur due to several reasons. Check for dull or broken knives and replace them if necessary. Ensure knives are installed correctly, with the arrow on the knife's upper face pointing in the disc's direction of rotation. Reduce ground speed if it's excessive. Also, verify and adjust the cutting height and mowing unit floatation as needed. If dealing with tangled or down crops, reduce the cutting height and increase the mowing unit ground pressure.
