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 new TF5128 and TF6128 models have the ability (with up to 16’ windrow cuts) to merge Windrows into one….in either direction. No additional Cross-Conveyor Extension is needed. Each model has its’ own PTO-driven pump and features a Center Cam/Center Drive System that provides less gap between the heads resulting in less material loss on each head.

The heads each have 6 Tine Bars with Graphite Impregnated Nylon Split Bearings. With this unique feature, you never have to pull tine bars to change the bearings. Cam Follower Bearings can be replaced from one side of the Cam without having to insert any tools thru the cam.

The model 6128 features the Exclusive “Soft Shoe” Suspension Technology System with In-Cab-Adjust, and both models feature the Industries Largest Hydraulic Adjust Skid Pads. The Elliptical Shape Skid Pads ride on the back of the pad and decrease damage to the field. The 42” Cross Conveyor is also the widest in its’ class and moves the crop easily for smooth, even windrows.
