Kuhn adds 6.1m model to Multi-Longer hedge and verge cutter range
26th January 2026
Kuhn Farm Machinery has expanded its Multi-Longer range of hedge and verge cutters with the launch of a 6.1m model. The 6157 e-TPAL joins the existing Multi-Longer 7457 e-TPAL as a telescopic, left-handed machine, designed specifically for UK and Irish users.
Rhodri Jenkins, Kuhn’s grassland product specialist, said that the 6157 is likely to be a popular model with UK contractors and farmers, offering the right balance of compact dimensions for road work and excellent reach for field hedges and ditches.
The Multi-Longer 6157 e-TPAL is fitted as standard with the e-Assist system. This maintains a constant cutting head angle on the machine for an even and consistent finish via an electronic parallelogram, using sensors to control the position, the manufacturer explained.
An automatic lift float in all positions for roadside mowing is also part of the feature, while a hydraulically powered debris blower can be mounted on the rear of the Multi-Longer to leave surfaces clear of trimmings.
What’s included
Mr Jenkins continued: “e-Assist allows a consistent cutting head angle and arm height regardless of the working reach. Working on uneven field edges can cause issues whilst trying to maintain a level finish, and the e-Assist feature aims to make this easier.”
The e-TPAL feature also includes the EP joystick, offering the control of all four proportional movements at the same time. This, combined with Kuhn’s VT 61 terminal, provides instant display of key machine data and quick access to settings, such as the control of the parallelogram movement. Mr Jenkins confirmed that a redesigned joystick will be added soon.
The machine is only available with the Stabilink axle-mounted brackets, which can be connected to the tractor in under 15 minutes for greater assurance at full reach. A heavy-duty A-frame is in development.
A standard 1.2m wide head, or optional 1.5m wide unit, (24 or 28 T-flails respectively) allow users to build a machine that is tailored to their circumstances. A tractor weighing 5.5t, and a minimum of 100hp, is required.
