KUHN Expands Multi-Longer Hedge and Verge Cutter

Saverne, France - KUHN GROUP., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has expanded its multi-longer lineup with the launch of the 6.1m multi-longer 6157 e-TPAL hedge and verge cutter. The new model joins the larger multi-longer 7457 e-TPAL as a telescopic, left-handed machine developed specifically for operators in the UK and Ireland.

Mr. Rhodri Jenkins, Kuhn’s grassland product specialist, said, “The 6157 is expected to appeal to both contractors and farmers by combining compact dimensions suitable for road transport with the reach required for maintaining field hedges and ditches.”

The machine comes equipped with Kuhn’s e-ASSIST system as standard. This technology uses sensors and an electronic parallelogram to maintain a constant cutting head angle, ensuring an even and consistent finish. It also features automatic lift float in all positions for roadside mowing, while an optional hydraulically driven debris blower can be mounted at the rear to clear trimmings from the work area.

Maintaining a level finish on uneven field edges can be challenging, and the e-ASSIST system is designed to simplify this task by keeping the cutting head angle and arm height consistent regardless of the working reach.

The e-TPAL specification includes the EP joystick, allowing operators to control four proportional movements simultaneously. When paired with Kuhn’s VT 61 terminal, users can instantly view key machine data and quickly adjust settings, including parallelogram movement. A redesigned joystick is also expected to be introduced soon.

The 6157 e-TPAL is available exclusively with Stabilink axle-mounted brackets, enabling connection to a tractor in under 15 minutes and providing added stability at full reach. Kuhn is also developing a heavy-duty A-frame option.

Operators can choose between a standard 1.2m cutting head or an optional 1.5m version, fitted with 24 or 28 T-flails respectively, allowing the machine to be configured to suit different applications. The cutter requires a tractor weighing at least 5.5 tonnes with a minimum output of 100hp.
