Three new machines boost efficiency for growers

Kuhn North America has introduced three new hay and forage machines designed to help farmers and custom operators across the United States and Canada improve productivity and efficiency. These machines combine innovative technology with durable construction to handle challenging field conditions while reducing operating costs.

The KUHN FC 9830 D RA mower conditioner with an integrated windrow merger allows producers to mow, condition, and merge crops in a single pass. Designed to pair with front-mounted FC 3125 DF or FC 3525 DF units, it offers a cutting width of up to 31 feet 10 inches. This combination helps haylage and baleage producers save time and fuel while achieving clean, consistent windrows.

For large farms and custom operators, the new MM 952 and MM 1092 center-delivery twin mergers provide up to 36 feet of working width. These mergers include ISOBUS controls, hydropneumatic suspension, and upgraded pickup components. Operators can easily create uniform windrows using center, side, or split delivery, improving flexibility across a range of forage types.

Rounding out the lineup, the KUHN FB 3125 fixed chamber round baler is built for durability and bale density. Its PowerTrack rollers and Integral Rotor technology ensure consistent bale formation and smooth crop flow, even in heavy hay or silage. The compact 4x4 design and low-maintenance construction make it ideal for livestock operations, mid-sized farms, and custom balers seeking high-quality bales.

These new machines show Kuhn’s commitment to providing North American hay and forage producers with advanced solutions that boost productivity, reduce costs, and maintain crop quality in demanding conditions.

Video: Five Confirmed New World Screwworm Cases Raise Alarm for Livestock and Pet Owners

Pat Hoffman, Swine Technical Consultant and Elanco Animal Health tells us about the inpact or New World Screwworm. The emergence of New World screwworm in the U.S. creates a threat for veterinarians, livestock producers and pet owners that has not been seen north of the Florida Keys since the fly was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago. New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae feed on living tissue and can affect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and even humans.
“New World screwworm could have a devastating impact on animal health, welfare, and producer livelihoods,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO, Elanco Animal Health. “We want to thank the FDA, EPA and USDA, for all their work to prepare for this threat. We’re committed to supporting our customers during this challenging time by delivering innovation, scientific expertise, and available resources to help treat New World screwworm and support the health and well-being of animals.”
Elanco is working alongside the U.S. animal health industry to help them fight against this parasite, offering a portfolio of options for pets and livestock that can help treat New World screwworm larvae infestations.
