Simple, Reliable and Productive for Small ProducersDesigned to be reliable and simple to operate, the PZ 170 builds on a legacy that goes back over 50 years to the introduction of the world’s first drum mowers.
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.
Features may include:
Flat Sided DrumsThe 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.
Rotating SkidsUsing the special tool provided with the machine, you can easily push the blade holder down and replace the Fast-Fit® blades. This is a proven, quick and efficient system with no additional tools required.

Safety Breakaway SystemUpon 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 SpringA flotation spring reduces the weight of the mower unit on the ground to improve mower floatation and terrain following.
Rope-Controlled PinA 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.
