2025 Kuhn GF 1003 Series 7903

2025 Kuhn GF 1003 Series 7903

With 6 to 10 rotors and working widths of 25’7” or 35’5”, KUHN GF 1003 Series mounted rotary tedders combine ideal characteristics for high-quality work, overall efficiency, time savings, and great forage quality.

KUHN GF 1003 Series mounted rotary tedders, with working widths of 25’7” to 35’5”, are ideal for both custom operators and hay producers looking to shorten drying time of their crop. These machines provide 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.

The OptiTedd rotors are the secret to rapid drying, excellent ground following and low incorporation of impurities in the crop, helping maintain maximum forage quality. The exclusive DigiDrive® coupling system provides low maintenance, long life and increased safety. These machines feature KUHN’s Headland Lift Control system, making them easy to lift and maneuver on headlands, while limiting the introduction of foreign materials like dust into the forage. Despite the wide 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.

Features may include:

• The asymmetrical tine length with longer outer fingers has several advantage to bring the machine’s tedding quality to perfection. This allows the outer finger to touch the crop earlier compared to symmetrical tines. It also ensures more complete tedding, along borders and between the rotors, where the tines overlap more in this sensitive area. Contacting the crop sooner means that the actual working width of each rotor is expanded and as a result, the entire machine working width is expanded.

• OptiTedd rotors offer a steep angle of attack for complete crop inversion and fast, uniform drying. The improved rotor design increases robustness and ensures effective tedding in all conditions. Small-diameter rotors, available on GF 8703/7903/10803 models, feature a minimum distance to the center of gravity to reduce lift and horsepower requirements. Large-diameter rotors, featured on the GF 7803, excel at spreading long, dense crops.

• With rotors driven by DigiDrive couplings and lubed-for-life rotor housings, the greasing points are limited to a relatively few pivot points allowing you to spend more time in the field and less time greasing.

• The headstock has been tried and tested through years of experience. It is particularly suitable for this size of machine and features sturdy construction, effective recentering on slopes and reduced overhang.

• With the GF 1003 Series tedders, you will benefit from an exclusive and patented suspension system, which combines the advantages of powerful springs with those of hydraulic suspension.

• For clean, careful tedding next to fences or neighboring fields, GF 1003 tedders are equipped with a border control system. On slopes, the border setting is particularly beneficial for controlling the direction of crop spread and obtaining an optimal spread pattern.

• Whether in long or short, wet or dry crop, or different cutting heights, the pitch angle is adjusted without tools near the wheel supports. Always remember a steep pitch angle will decrease drying time and increase the nutritional value of the forage.
