Built for any terrain

With a working width of 2.8-3.2m and an operating weight of only 670-710kg, DM4028 and DM4032 require as little as 45 hp to operate. Run in a combination with a 4.0m on the rear, would give you a mowing combination capable of effortlessly handling up to 6.8m crop.

Responsive mowing

The very responsive kinematics associated with the headstock design will step in when encountering even the smallest obstacles during operation. To offer maximum protection and lessen the shock loads on the complete machine, the cutterbar will move backwards and up, letting any obstacle pass without risk of damage.

Excellent serviceability

DM4000 series has outstanding service access to the cutterbar, which is an advantage compared to most other machines with a flexible suspension. Even when the machine is raised, you can open the entire front cover.

Two-speed driveline

Standard PTO speed is 1000 rpm. However by simply switching driveline pulleys, 750 rpm for reduced fuel consumption can be achieved. This makes it possible to maintain the correct PTO speed, but using reduced engine revs, creating an opportunity for lower fuel consumption. An innovative solution solving the problem of front PTO systems not offering an economy speed.

Kubota DM4028-4032:

• 2.8-3.2m working width.
• BreakAway solution.
• Flexible swath width.
• 750/1000 rpm gearbox.

DM4032S

This is the first front disc mower with an actively driven swath former, designed for both narrow swathing and wide spreading. Changing between different swath widths is intuitively done in very little time – no tools required! Simply release the locks on each swath board and swipe them to the requested swath width. For wide spreading the boards are released and positioned on top of the mower.

A machine for any application

DM4032S will work well in a number of different settings. In combination with rear mounted mowers, as a single machine, or joined up with a loader wagon. With widths as narrow as 1.00m, the swaths will pass between the wheels of even smaller tractors, leaving an untouched swath that is picked up easily by the loader wagon.

The adjustable swath width allows you to set the correct width in accordance with crop and weather conditions. As the crop is drying during a long day of mowing, the swath width can be adjusted from being narrow at the start of the day to being wider during the day, to ensure correct and even moisture level in the crop.

Preparing a clean and airy swath

The actively driven auger guides even high volumes of crop towards the centre of the mower, leaving a nice, box-shaped swath. Crop is immediately moved away from the discs, inviting for excellent cutting performance. Each side of the auger is working in combination with a guide plate that efficiently transports the crop to the middle, without any crop loss or contamination often seen from systems applying swath wheels. DM4032S does not just move two swaths next to each other like traditional drum mowers, but places the crop into one even and airy swath, significantly speeding up the drying process.

Excellent adaptation range

Just like the standard DM4032, DM4032S shows an impressive adaptation range of 430mm upwards and 210mm downwards, ensuring excellent cutting quality in even very difficult circumstances.

Fuel efficient solution

DM4032S is driven from the top by a simple but efficient driveline. A small gearbox connected to the main gearbox drives the auger via a V-belt. This design combined with the auger design means that an additional power requirement of only 5hp is needed to run the auger. In total the auger, including driveline, adds approximately 150kg to the mower, leaving total weight as low as 855kg and a power requirement of only 60hp.

Adjustable swath widths

With the option of 3 different swath widths (1.00, 1.15 and 1.30m) and wide spreading up to 2.20m, this machine offers exactly the flexibility that most farmers are looking for. Narrow swaths that will go well in-between the tractor wheels, or wide spreading for fast wilting of crop.

DM4028-4032-4032S

DM4000 and DM4000S series machines are exceptionally well adapted to varying field conditions and contours. At standards settings the cutterbar has a remarkable 430mm upwards and 210mm downwards adaptation range, in combination with transverse pivoting range of 17°. This wide spectrum allows the machine to follow the ground in all conditions without overloading the cutterbar.

Unrestricted movement

There is no wearing on the front linkage of the tractor, as the integrated suspension design does not require a flexible front linkage – the relative movements are done by the machine itself. This also means that you are not restricted by the limited flexibility typically originating from the front linkage.

Easy operation of the machine

Correct setting of the machine is very user-friendly. The front linkage is set to a specified height and the mower unit is operated by a separate hydraulic cylinder integrated in the suspension. Ground pressure is provided by two springs and cutting quality is always excellent due to Kubota’s three-bladed discs.

DM3332-3336-3340

Kubota offers a centre mounted plain disc mower with a hydraulically suspended design in three working widths of 3.2, 3.6 and 4.0m. All DM3300 models are fitted with the fully welded Kubota cutterbar, with an even number of counter-rotating discs for a wider overlap, and excellent cutting results in all conditions. Special efforts have been made to make daily operation as easy, straightforward and effective as possible.

Obvious advantages

The machines are suspended in the centre of gravity offering several advantages. The advantages include equal ground pressure and fast adaptation to varying field contours. These features facilitate a cleaner cut, better protection of the stubble and in addition an improved fuel economy, as well as less skid wear.

NonStop BreakAway

The DM3300 series is fitted with an automatic NonStop BreakAway system to protect the cutterbar. If an obstruction is hit in the field, the mowing section will swing backwards and up. This gives maximum protection of the cutterbar. There is no need to stop – or to reverse the tractor, to get the mowing unit into working position again – the cutting section will automatically return to its original working position.

Excellent power transmission

DM3300 series machines are equipped with a direct drive system from the gearbox to the first disc. This ensures an efficient power transmission and allows you to take full advantage of the whole width of the cutterbar.

Hydraulic suspension

The DM3300 range is designed with a hydraulic suspen- sion that offers improved ground adaptation. The ground pressure of the mowing unit is easily adjusted, to allow adaptation to varying field conditions, ensuring an even cutting height. The ground pressure is continuously and quickly adaptable, by using the lever on the suspension.

Superb ground adaptation

The perfect ground pressure is set using a two- chamber hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic valve. The current ground pressure is indicated on the manometer, which is mounted on the machine.

Flexible mowing on slopes

The design of the suspension, with an extra pivoting point, allows greater flexibility in the working range, enabling mower operation at 15o upward or downward angles. This offers great advantages when working on hillsides or along ditches, and also makes it easier to manoeuvre the machine on headlands.

Easy lift on headland

DM3300 series is easily done via a hydraulic cylinder, which means there is no need to activate the tractors 3pt linkage. As the PTO stays in the same position, vibrations in the transmission are eliminated, implying less wear on tractor and machine.
