Long arms for an easier reach
A 5.2 metre version of the Pro-Longer hedgecutter, plus the option of crank arm models for this and the 5.7 metre machine, feature in Kuhn Farm Machinery's extended range.
of long reach hedge and verge maintenance equipment.
Other new developments for the EP 5253 PA and EP 5762 PA models, which are aimed at the larger farmer or contractor, include the availability of a universal quick hitch attachment or the alternative of a quick hitch axle mounting kit.
Since the launch of Pro-Longer in 2004, Kuhn has already upgraded the control function, replacing low pressure hydraulics with a fully electronic system that uses CAN - BUS technology. This system allows simultaneous proportional control of all movements from a single lever joystick.
Pro-Longer hedgecutters are designed as robust and simple-to-operate hedge and verge cutters with a 1.2m flail head that offers 220 degree rotation.
Machines can work safely and effectively in tight spaces and behind the tractor wheel, due to the centred main boom base that also allows transport within the tractor width.
Hydraulic drive motors are fitted with oil coolers as standard, allowing the machine to maintain full operating power with the additional benefit of a reduced oil capacity that ultimately cuts running costs.
There are separate and fully independent pumps serving the rotor and arm movements.
The Pro-Longer operates with a dedicated 60hp rotor circuit.
The price of the Pro-Longer EP 5253 PA starts at £17,900 and the EP 5762 PA starts at £19,648.
