Kuhn BKE 180

High-Capacity, High-Strength Design
The Kuhn BKE shredders mow tall and thick strands of grass and vegetative materials in parks, nurseries, green spaces and orchards.
Choice of Hitch to Match Your Needs
Fixed Two-Position Hitch
- Allows operation behind the tractor, or offset at 11”-18” to the right
Hydraulic Sliding Offset Hitch
- Allows on-the-go offset of the machine for mowing around obstacle
Choose a Roller or Wheels for Adjustable Height Control
For intensive work, the roller has removable ends and is fitted with reinforced roller bearings that only need minimum maintenance and reduce replacement costs. The 6” diameter roller gives full width, adjustable height control. Complete with scraper to maintain accurate cutting height. It also provides good residue/soil contact with even ground pressure across the width of the machine.
Semi-pivoting action from optional pneumatic wheels allows use without lifting on corners. Adjustable in height (and spacing when attached to support bar), wheels are a great choice for use in row-crop applications and for rolling terrain.
Available with Articulated Universal Knives
Articulated knives feature a special self-sharpening design with a “scoop” design that lifts and cuts grass. (Note: Not for mowing in rocky or irregular conditions)
