Flat Sided Drums
The flat sides of the drums are the key to moving cut crop off the drums and through the machine with minimal risk of blockage. The drum and drum skirt are separate detachable parts, which reduces repair costs and downtime.
The 5'5" cutting width of the KUHN PZ 170 drum mower provides small-acreage landowners and hay producers with significantly improved capacity and productivity compared to most sicklebar mowers. This drum mower easily cuts through tall, thick and tangled grasses with minimal horsepower requirements.

Safety and Reliability When You Need It
Safety Breakaway System
Upon encountering an obstacle, the breakaway releases and the mower unit pivots back to protect the mower. The breakaway is easily reset by reversing the tractor and returning the mower to the working position.
Flotation Spring
A flotation spring reduces the weight of the mower unit on the ground to improve mower floatation and terrain following.
Quick and Easy Maneuverability
Rope-Controlled Pin
A simple rope-controlled pin is used to lock the mower in the rearward transport position. The mower head is swung by hand from the transport position to the side working position or back to the transport pRosition. A hydraulic vertical fold option is also available.
