Mounted Tedders GF 8712
Overview:
The KUHN GF 8712 rotary tedder combines exceptional hay harvesting with minimized drying time. This enables fast, even drying of the entire field and makes the best of weather windows when the crop is at the optimal stage – the ideal insurance to produce high-quality forage. These tedders are designed for both custom operators and large acreage hay producers. The GF 8712 tedder ensures the highest productivity in the field with a working width of 28’6”.
This large machine provides exceptional tedding quality, resulting in a crop that is fully tedded over the entire width and is efficiently and uniformly spread to maximize drying. Reduced drying times result in higher quality and nutritional value in hay and haylage. Each of the rotor gearboxes is sealed and lubed-for-life and is driven by KUHN’s patented DigiDrive® system, reducing maintenance. Despite their dimensions at work, these machines are incredibly compact in transport. Their 9’10” transport width is a considerable asset when accessing the narrowest fields and also provides safety and comfort during over-the-road travel. - Less

Features
Heavy-Duty Transport Chassis
The heavy-duty chassis provides users with a fast and secure method of transport.
Headland Lift Control
Incorporated in the new GF 1012 series tedders is the Headland Lift Control system. Independent headland lift position allows operators to quickly lift all the rotors up when turning at the headland.
DigiDrive®
The DigiDrive® contains forged case-hardened steel fingers for improved wear resistance. Synchronization of rotational movement is outstanding both in work and in transport where the components are folded 180° to reduce the machine’s space requirement. The DigiDrive is a highly reliable system which requires very little maintenance - daily greasing is not necessary.
Folding System
The folding system allows the transport wheels to lower and combine with the rotors tilting forward. While in transport position, height is reduced, load distribution on the tractor is optimal and road transport at high speeds is ideal. The incredibly narrow transport width of 9’10” and the wide transport undercarriage combine for easy maneuverability and stable road transport.
Easy Adjustments
The tedding height and angle of the tines above the ground is easy to adjust from a single point. The operator can change the height and angle as required to match the field conditions.
