What the GMD 700 Disc Mower is used for
The GMD 700 is used for mowing grass hay, alfalfa, and mixed forage where a compact mounted mower fits the operation. It leaves an unconditioned swath, allowing crop handling to be done separately if desired. Use the tractor three-point hitch to keep the cutterbar at a consistent working height.
Why the Kuhn GMD 700 Disc Mower stands out
The mounted layout is compact and maneuverable around smaller fields and irregular headlands. Its seven-disc cutterbar provides a continuous rotary cutting action across a 9 ft class width. A simple, conditioner-free design reduces machine weight and maintenance points.
Buying a used Kuhn GMD 700 Disc Mower
Check all discs for smooth rotation, oil leakage, blade damage, and loose or worn knife hardware. Inspect the cutterbar oil, gearbox, PTO shaft, guards, three-point mounting points, and breakaway linkage. Worn skid shoes, cracked cutterbar housings, and excessive disc bearing play deserve close attention.
