Kuhn cutterbar vs New Holland

Do the new New Holland discbines use a Kuhn cutterbar? I was just watching video's of both new machines on Youtube,they both claim quick change of shafts and bearings in the cutterbar. I figure they must be the same unit?
 
NH used Kuhn bars back in the 90's with the 408/411/413/415. My understanding is they eventually made their own bar. All the manufacturers are making modular bars now so that repairs can be made quickly...
 
NH has had their own bar now for 15 years or so. It's a shaft drive bar. Kuhn is a gear bed... most of them being modular today.

Looking at buying one or the other this spring, leaning towards the Kuhn. Seems they make changes every few years to there equipment making improvements along the way while other mfg.'s keep using the same set ups for longer times.
I hate NH powder coat finishes. Rust everywhere before they even get the equipment out of the crate.
They are not the same cutter bars. NH's each module has it's own oil reservoir, while Kuhn's whole bar runs in the same oil, like Deere units do.
 
Same here. I know two dealers who each have a new Kuhn on the lot. One is the older model,the other is the new model that just came out. I'm just a little nervous about a first year production on a new model though. Not enough time to get the bugs out.
 
Well I own a JD disc moco...if they are made buy Kuhn, then why do they have one less turtle than Kuhn mowers?? For the same size cut width.
JD turtles are huge compared to any others.
Old rumors never die.
 
The Deere bars used to be made by Kuhn. That ended with the 13/1460 generation of machines. The 'MoCo' and beyond are made by Deere as far as I know.
I do believe Deere is still selling a repainted Kuhn GMD mower in the Frontier line tho... but that's just a three point mounted straight disc mower..
