I run an older Kuhn rotary rake with my 3010. I run the tractor at 1600 rpm in 5th gear. They do a fantastic job with drying the hay even when it's in a wind row.
I have to say I like the Green and Orange Paint Scheme. I have seen more and more Kuhn products on videos lately-and I am amazed at their quality and options. Be Safe and God Bless.
Yeah and the price... plus that disk safety system he mentioned-- Kuhn shears the entire shaft off at the top of the bearing by milling a slot in the roughly 1 inch diameter shaft, turning it down to about the diameter of a dime. When it hits something the shaft twists off and spits the WHOLE DISK and hub out the back. Then you get to spend about $250 on a new gear/bearing/seal/shaft/bearing hub/disk hub assembly, which drops into the bar after you remove the old one once you retime all the cutting disks and install it with four bolts. Then you put the disk back on to the top hub with four bolts. Deere and NH use a shear hub with all but four of the splines milled away, so the shaft and bearings remains intact, just the hub needs replaced for about $50 bucks, in about ten minutes of work. Later! OL J R :)
A subscriber with a metal cnc cutting machine could make you logo signature plates to make it shine. Perfect collaboration on a great hay crop so far. Good luck getting it all in the barn dry.
It looks like the chance of rain where you are at. Here in the west,specifically Utah,the farmers are already having to pick what crops to let go,and which ones to save. We are in a serious drought situation here. California is going to really be hurting. I grew up on a dairy farm in Idaho, I remember my grandfather telling me the farmers were just plowing their crop because of no water one year. It is times like this that I am glad I am not still on the farm. So,naturally I feel for ALL of the farmers in these times.
Rotary rakes for the win, only belt mergers beat the quality of gras/hay rowed up. They are pricey tho. Nice to see the mower, you really need 2nd one with narrow windows of favorable weather.
Hi from oz Ryan. Just found this video. I’m semi retired hay and silage contractor. Europeans make the best hay gear and Krone lead the pack. I I run 5 meter mower conditioner and 9 meter double rotary rake. Mow at Around 15 kph and rake about 12. Krone big square eats any size row at 12 kph and the round between 5 and 10 depending on how heavy the windrow is. In either hay or silage.
Good job I don't work for Khun, my sarcasm would have kicked in right at the "What's this little knob for?" and probably got me fired. Immediately my brain said "Right now it's holding a camera and asking questions." 🤣 Great video Ryan, loving the fresh paint.
Awesome video as always. Love your videos and all the content in them. Amazing Kuhn mower and tedder. Keep them videos coming and stay safe my friend 🌞👍
My friend farmer had a rotary rake like this one ,a GA4001;he had a JD640 wheel rake and he had to buy a rotary one cause he switched to wet silage hay with wrapped round bales;the rotary is better in silage hay compared to a wheel rake.
I got a Kuhn 4120 rake to demo 15 years ago and dad thought it was way to expensive until he saw it run, we bought a second one the following year and would hate to use anything other than a rotary. Yes they are slower than a wheel rake but for us they cut about a day off the drying time.
Equipment companies go all out to make new products Good for them All about making money for everyone involved Good marketing plan putting out to a respected farmer on you tube
The mower is really cool can't wait to see it cutting....not really sure about the rake they are nice to have but to better off with a hay merger being able to move hay windrow left or right.
Surprised there was no discussion on ash. Since this is a PTO driven rake you run in the stubble and never contact the ground. So a rotary rake will produce hay with less dust in it
Hmmm is this Rake Made in France ??? 🤔🤔🤔 Looks a bit cheap in Design and Fabrication ?? I like this channel maybe he tries one a real pro gear from Krone Claas or Pöttinger 🤗👌🔝
You want that thing far enough away from the tractor that it can never hit the tires in a turn or anything else, because it would TOTALLY DESTROY that rake... Later! OL J R :)
You can tell the guy explaining the features of the rake isn't used to being on camera or explaining the features. I'm sure if I was on camera, I'd use more ummm, speaking on camera isn't as easy as people think.
Because they have that weird hitch instead of just using the draft links of the 3 point hitch... Basically a cheaper version of the 2 point hitch pivot models... Later! OL J R :)
LOL, the company guys are being conservative on the speed numbers. You can hit it at 8-10mph. Kuhn makes real good rakes and balers. ETA: Kuhn Balers eat the windrows ruclips.net/video/ty7NoI88EFM/видео.html to see a JD4455 and Kuhn VB3160 moving at speed hammering out the bales.
but to bee fair... i was talking to a bee the other day...and he told me he was try to convince a fly that honey tasted a hell of lot better than shit, the fly said fu and buzzed away to a steaming pile? lib/ dems, flies! whats the difference? btw, great vid ryan!
I have no idea how the rake works because I was distracted by how many times Bryan from Kuhn North America said "uh/uhm" 74 times when he was describing how it worked. Let me know how many you count 👇
You don't really need much power to run single rotor rake, but with 3 point mounted one you need to use large tractor because of the weight (it sits far back from the tractor). We have a similar size rake as Ryan got and we only need 35 hp tractor to run it, neighbor has the same size 3 point rake and has trouble lifting it with 100 hp tractor.
@@g.work.specials6859 It is green :) I am pretty sure it is John Deere 5820 but it could be some other similar size JD. They have a Krone rake and it is built to last. I think it is 4,6 meters wide (15 feet) and tractor is bouncing a lot going down the road. Meanwhile, we run a 40-year-old 35 hp tractor to do the same thing.
I don't mean to be rude, but I'd rather be looking at the implement and the features as the salesman is talking about them then looking at what appears to be a nervous guy trying to answer your questions while having a camera in his face. Not everyone likes to be on camera and if you are looking over a new piece of machinery, the viewers would rather be seeing it.
What an unpractical connecting the mower have 🤮 Here in Germany we Use an Universal hitch System Which is way better and why you bought a so small rake?
Awesome of Kuhn to continue their support of your farm
You cannot beat the windrow of a rotary rake, best style of rake for getting things dry, they are just slow compared to wheel rakes!
We just bought one this year and just used it and absolutely love it
A tric we found with use is u let the tractor ideal in low low when going through alpha when its just gotten wet and it dry the hay out a hep
Can't wait to see these machine in action on your farm, Ryan!
Commercial time.....keep those sponsors happy!
I’m glad your farm has the opportunity to use and showcase this equipment to make your lives easier
Shiney new equipment to play with cant wait to see those at work

the only new piece of hay equipment i have, kuhn 9ft 3 point rotary with the four tires, love it.
What made you decide to go with a 3 point as compared to the hitch pin model? We have a Haybob 300 and are looking to add a rotary rake to the mix.
@@FoolOfATuque a neighbor had one, i can pick it up , back up and redo and adjust windrows. mine pivots and goes easy around the field.

Those Kuhn rakes are awesome, have used one for years.
I have a double Kuhn rotary rake, I love it won’t ever go back it is a little slower to rake but way faster dry time!

Great Kuhn mower and tedder to demonstrate for us all
good video man looks like y'all will have fun good job
Thanks for giving us the run around on the equipment, That might not have been the best way to say Thanks.
Rotary rakes for the win, only belt mergers beat the quality of gras/hay rowed up. They are pricey tho.
Nice to see the mower, you really need 2nd one with narrow windows of favorable weather.
unfortunately this rotary rake looks to be built way too light to last.
Hay season will be awesome!😁👍 looking forward to see the kuhn equipment at work👍😉
Hey Ryan!! Looking forward to seeing the Kuhn equipment in the field.
Thanks for the update Ryan, very informative looking forward to seeing the rotary rake in action 👍

Great video Ryan, loving the fresh paint.
Can't wait to see both in action.
Ryan gets called, "Sir". Hehheehheh
Ye, I call nobody sir since I left school like 50yrs ago.
Awesome video as always. Love your videos and all the content in them. Amazing Kuhn mower and tedder. Keep them videos coming and stay safe my friend 🌞👍
Meant to say rake not tedder 😁
I bought a Kuhn rotary rake 12 years ago and I’d never go back to a different style rake. It’s been trouble free and an awesome machine
Good afternoon Ryan. Look forward to seeing the machinery running. Rotary rakes are popular here in the uk.
Yes especially the rotary rakes that can do double duty as a tedder as well.
My grandfather used a rotary rotary rake that was a 3 point hitch. Super awesome to use on alphalfa, keeps it more intact!!!
awsome video ryan nice toys there lol be nice to see what they can do i know i cant wait to see what they can do for sure thumbs up and shared
Love seeing you get these demo equipment.
I am glad he said how much it retails for
Have 3 single kuhn rotor rakes, been using kuhn rotor rakes for 30 years, best rake on the market hands down. They make quality hay.
You got a good deal going with kuhn. Can't wait to see them being used
My friend farmer had a rotary rake like this one ,a GA4001;he had a JD640 wheel rake and he had to buy a rotary one cause he switched to wet silage hay with wrapped round bales;the rotary is better in silage hay compared to a wheel rake.
Finally a Rotary 🤭
My dad just got that same cutter this year. Been using it myself all year

That's gonna be fun to run.
I wish I had enough land to need that beast...go get 'em boys
You should also try a three point mounted rake. I think it will be much handier to use.
Best wishes from Poland 🇵🇱
Good job 👍
Equipment companies go all out to make new products Good for them
All about making money for everyone involved
Good marketing plan putting out to a respected farmer on you tube
That rotary rake won't be leaving your farm after you use it next to your bar rake... fluffy rows that always seem to get the green hay on top
Although the rake is slow time to dry and better quality mentioned below is what travis mentioned. Might make a diffrence in the end.
Great stuff Ryan, I think Kuhn make good quality machines:):)
The mower is really cool can't wait to see it cutting....not really sure about the rake they are nice to have but to better off with a hay merger being able to move hay windrow left or right.
We have one of them and you can not let it run wide open it will take the hay out of the windrow
Surprised there was no discussion on ash. Since this is a PTO driven rake you run in the stubble and never contact the ground. So a rotary rake will produce hay with less dust in it
Now that was cool good job Ryan
Continued 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel sorry for the folks who are stuck with the Opt-Disc, instead of the Opti-Disc Elite.😔
Still waiting for "The Alfalfa Mutilator 12000" ....XXXL
So how do you like the fail conditioner vs the rubber rollers
Hmmm is this Rake Made in France ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Looks a bit cheap in Design and Fabrication ??
I like this channel maybe he tries one a real pro gear from Krone Claas or Pöttinger 🤗👌🔝
The best stuff comes from europe.
The birds are saying it's time to eat. They have a lot of orange paint to cover.
Great awesome video Ryan
Euro type rake we have had for years
Kuhn !!
Should have been a double not single
And with that. And with that. And with that.
Good stuff
I can’t get over on how long the hitch system on the rotary, seems like a mile long.😳
You want that thing far enough away from the tractor that it can never hit the tires in a turn or anything else, because it would TOTALLY DESTROY that rake... Later! OL J R :)
Love the vids
On my rotory rakes I run mine at 1700 to1800 rpm
What tractor is it going on
5-6 mph lol. I can rake 9-10 with our Claas rotary rakes
Well...doesn't that make YOU special...?
@@buckhorncortez yep sure does. I feel so special thanks to you!!
👍
You can tell the guy explaining the features of the rake isn't used to being on camera or explaining the features. I'm sure if I was on camera, I'd use more ummm, speaking on camera isn't as easy as people think.
I think the guy explaing the rake is more of a sales/tech guy on camera or not or on the dealership lot. Sales person is going to title you as sir/mam
Nice vid
How come u had to add a separate hitch for the mower
Because they have that weird hitch instead of just using the draft links of the 3 point hitch... Basically a cheaper version of the 2 point hitch pivot models... Later! OL J R :)

Why is that rake a trailed one. Isnt it handy in the 3point?
Being a trailed one it adapts better to the counters of the terrain

@@Matevz96 is the 100 horse tractor red or green?
Our neighbours run a 3pt rotary take with a 60 HP 1850
It's quite light actually.
2wd and barely any front weights
@@g.work.specials6859 It is green :) I am pretty sure it is John Deere 5820 but it could be some other similar size JD. They have a Krone rake and it is built to last.

What an unpractical connecting the mower have 🤮 Here in Germany we Use an Universal hitch System Which is way better and why you bought a so small rake?
They didn't buy anything-- it's free stuff Kuhn sends out for them to use for the free advertising on RUclips... Later! OL J R :)
They need to purchase instead of using stuff for free they have money
