The MM 01 Series builds upon the previous generation of Kuhn mergers starting with the pickup. High-capacity pickups with integrated frames treat crops gently yet have been built and tested for extreme usage. The proven split bearing design with wear guards and anti-wrap discs decreases the time needed for regular maintenance and improves pickup reliability. The floating windguard eliminates the need for operators to make adjustments when merging different crops or cuttings. Kuhn’s crop netting greatly limits leaf loss when transitioning onto the belt and into the windrow. 

Mainframes and wing arms on each merger model have been updated to allow for the most intense usage in the field. KUHN has also added new hydraulic system upgrades for greater machine capacity. 

All Kuhn’s 01 Series twin and triple merger models now include easy-to-use technology and software. The IntelliMerge system allows an operator to run, adjust, and receive machine diagnostics and feedback on an intuitive color display. The OptiSense belt stall system (optional on the MM 701) alerts the operator when the belts start to slow down when approaching the capacity of the merger. All functions of the machine including the OptiSense belt stall detection system are controlled from the ISOBUS terminal from the comfort of the cab. ISOBUS compatibility, an industry exclusive, is standard on all Kuhn twin and triple hay mergers.

The MM 301 has been designed to work with mower conditioners from 9′ to 18′ of cutting  width.  It features a variety of options  so it can be tailored to match the needs of almost any  operator’s preferences. The  merger can be operated by pulling directly behind the tractor, extended all the way to the right, or anywhere in between.

The  standard, curved  wind guard  helps create fluffy, well-formed windows by keeping the crop close to the pickup and delivering it to the center of the belt. This smooths outcrop bunching, resulting in greater harvester efficiency.

A self-contained hydraulic drive allows the merger to be operated by most tractors regardless of hydraulic capacities. The MM 301 also has steel hydraulic lines on the tongue  providing the machine with a longer life and improved system performance.

Maintenance is quick, simple, and easy on the Kuhn MM 301 hay merger. The MM 301 now includes a sight glass on the tongue to make it quick and easy to verify the oil level. Additionally, there is a pressure gauge to help operators determine if an oil filter change is necessary. There is also a larger fill port to reduce the time needed to refill the system during oil changes.
