2021 Kuhn GMD 30 Series 8730

Triple Your Efficiency



KUHN GMD 30 Series rear mounted mowers deliver a clean cut with a wide cutting width and are ideal for large-acreage producers. When paired with a GMD 25 front mount mower, they feature a total combined working width of up to 32'6", taking productivity to a whole new level.



KUHN GMD 30 Series rear mounted mowers deliver a clean cut with a wide cutting width and are ideal for large-acreage producers. These mowers provide high reliability and quick cutting to help produce quality forage at a high output. The high-lift discs and Lift-Control® hydropneumatic suspension ensure excellent cut quality and crop throughput, even in the toughest conditions. Fast-Fit® knives and the Optidisc® Elite lubed-for-life cutterbar take the time and headache out of regular maintenance. Should the mower strike an obstacle while working, the continuous hydraulic safety automatically pivots up and back, minimizing the risk of damage. At the end of the season, store your KUHN GMD mower without any problems thanks to the vertical storage position of the machine.



For the ultimate triple-mower combination, pair one of these models with a KUHN GMD 25 F Series front mount mower, and take productivity to a whole new level. The total combined working width of up to 32'6" knocks down large fields in no time, while exclusive features provide strong returns on investment by reducing maintenance and downtime.



Features may include:



Lubed-For-Life Optidisc® Elite Cutterbar

* The Optidisc® Elite cutterbar provides a flat, streamlined profile so that soil and crop residue do not accumulate and material flows smoothly, even in heavy, difficult crop conditions. These mowers come standard with the Fast-Fit® quick release knife system. Optidisc Elite cutterbars are designed and tested with a zero oil change interval. The highly-polished gears and synthetic gear oil ensure that this system does not require any regular internal maintenance, eliminating the need for cutterbar oil changes throughout the life of the machine.

Differential Disc Spacing

* The innovative design of the Optidisc Elite cutterbar offers exclusive differential disc spacing.



* Less Distance for a Clean Cut: Narrower spacing at diverging discs provides greater knife overlap, which results in a clean cut, even when the grass is short or light.



* More Distance for Easy Crop Passage: Wider spacing at converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass. Cut crop is quickly carried away from the cutting area, greatly improving the cut quality.

Standard Fast-Fit® Knives

* The Fast-Fit® quick-release knife system allows an operator to rapidly change out cutting knives with the use of a simple tool, yet still retain optimum cut quality and knife life. With Fast-Fit, an operator can achieve up to 50% time savings over a standard system.

Protectadrive® Disc Bearing Stations

* Protectadrive® Safety: Every minute saved during the hay season is precious. Ultimate protection, from the externally removable Protectadrive disc bearing stations, provides maximum reliability and quick service. In the event of an impact between a disc and an obstacle, the shaft holding the disc can shear just above the bearing. This is thanks to its carefully dimensioned shear groove. As a result, the gear teeth are protected.



* Extra Rigidity Where it Counts: Disc bearing stations are attached by bolts that pass through the entire cutterbar. This is an exceptionally strong and secure attachment with no risk of mount being torn out of the cutterbar in case of shocks. The disc drive pinion is held precisely in place, all resulting in excellent reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
