Kuhn unveils Merge Maxx MM 950 and 1090 hay Mergers

Kuhn North America has unveiled its new Merge Maxx MM 950 & 1090 commercial hay mergers.

These mergers, with a working width of up to 36 feet, are designed to cater to large farms and custom operators seeking reliable and adaptable equipment to boost their efficiency.

Known for their versatility, the MM 950 & 1090 can create uniform windrows using center, side, or split delivery in various forages.

The center delivery concept offers eight different delivery options to accommodate different harvesting practices, from heavy to light forages and baling to chopping.

The standard floating windguard automatically adjusts to varying crop volumes, ensuring accurate guidance onto the center of the belt and producing a consistent, fluffy windrow.

The small-diameter pickups are optimized for collecting both light, short crops and heavy, dense crops. Pickup speed can be adjusted to protect forage quality.

A spring suspension system enhances ground following and flotation. This design features four springs on each merger head, eliminating the need for complex hydraulic systems.

Each head has a wide pivoting angle of +/- 10° and a suspension range of 20 inches.

The AT-10 controller provides user-friendly and straightforward operation without compromising machine performance.

The controller manages forage delivery, individual unit lift, belt pickups, and folding from transport to the working position.

KUHN, KUHN Knight, and KUHN Krause products are distributed through farm equipment dealers across the United States, Canada, and other countries.
