How to fix uneven stubble with KUHN GMD16?
To fix uneven stubble with your KUHN Farm Equipment, start by checking and replacing any dull or broken knives. Ensure the knives are correctly installed, with the arrow on the upper face pointing in the disc's rotation direction. Verify sufficient disc speed by checking belt tension. Increase the PTO speed to 540/min if it's too low, and reduce the cutter bar pitch angle if it's too high.
What to do if KUHN GMD16 has bad ground contour adaptation?
If your KUHN Farm Equipment experiences bad ground contour adaptation, first adjust the main frame height with regards to the ground. Reduce ground speed if it's excessive. Ensure the hydraulic valve is in a floating position and adjust the compensating spring tension. Also, check the condition of the cutter bar pivot bushes and replace them if necessary.
Why is soil building up in front of the cutterbar on my KUHN GMD16 Farm Equipment?
If you observe soil building up in front of the cutterbar of your KUHN Farm Equipment, it could be due to excessive cutterbar down pressure. Adjust the compensating spring tension to reduce the pressure. In very wet conditions, adjust the main frame height with regards to the ground and consider fitting raised skid shoes.
How to fix too long stubble with KUHN Farm Equipment?
If the stubble is too long when using your KUHN Farm Equipment, modify the pitch angle using the top link. Additionally, adjust the compensating spring tension and check the frame position, as the machine might be too light.
What to do if KUHN GMD16 has too frequent safety breakback release?
If your KUHN Farm Equipment's safety breakback releases too frequently, increase the spring washer compression.
