KUHN Releases New Optidisc Elite Cutterbar

KUHN Releases New Optidisc Elite Cutterbar

Farmers strive to produce the best forage possible for their animals. The new Optidisc Elite cutterbar design has an even lower profile, while retaining the performance and reliability features of the original Optidisc cutterbar. Developed in partnership with farmers through testing in fields around the world, the Optidisc Elite cutterbar has the performance to meet today's demands for high-quality hay.

The Optidisc Elite's low profile cutterbar creates a smooth, clean cut with minimal ash incorporation due to a very flat cutterbar angle even at low cutting heights. Additionally, differential disc spacing utilizes narrower spacing at the diverging discs for extra knife overlap to create a clean cut even when the grass is short or light. Wider spacing of the converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass from the cutting area; improving the cut quality. Free-rotating Fast-Fit knives also help enhance cutting quality and provide longer knife life.

Agriculture is one of the many activities that can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) from the atmosphere. World’s soils are the second largest carbon sink, second only to oceans. Strong scientific evidence shows that on-farm technology coupled with the widespread adoption of regenerative and climate-smart agriculture practices – such as no-till, cover crop and nutrient and manure management – can reduce GHGs emissions through avoidance and sequestration.
