2023 Krone Twin Rotor Centre Delivery Rakes Swadro TC Plus

2023 Krone Twin Rotor Centre Delivery Rakes Swadro TC Plus

Features may include:

• Flexible work widths, extra high lift-out

• Variable running gear with adjustable track widths and large tyres

• High ground clearance and high rotor lift-out for easy headland turns

The rotors can be lifted out independently. This is standard specification on the TC 930 and TC 1000 and an option on all other Swadro TC models. This feature brings great advantages in wedges, along boundaries and in low-yielding crops.

Swadro TC 640 and TC 760 come with a standard mechanical working width control. The arms extend and retract as the operator turns a crank.

All Swadro TC models (option on TC 640 and 760) offer standard hydraulic working width adjustment. The operator can clearly read the selected work width on a large scale from the seat.

Swadro TC 680 and 760 can be equipped with a new development from KRONE – a hydraulic rotor with 6 tines that disturb and aerate dry and light material which placed in the middle of the rake and between the rotors. The disturber promotes uniform wilting and ultimately the quality of hay and leafy forage such as lucerne.

Swadro TC and TC Plus are attached to the two-point headstock by a ball bearing joint and a rod-steered undercarriage with articulated steering. This makes these rakes particularly nimble – a boon in awkward areas where no crop is left behind and shunting is eliminated. The machine simply goes into every corner of the field without manoeuvring. The articulated steering is an option on the TC 640.

Great road stability and exceptional castering are the stand-out features of the chassis that is approved to 40 km/h (25 mph). Quick changeovers: bring drown the transport height to less than 4 m (13'2"), fold up the rotors without removing any tine arms (except on TC 1000) or guards first, and retract the telescoping arms to reduce the machine width.

• Maintenance-free rotors and rotor gearboxes

• Hard-wearing DuraMax cam tracks with a three-year warranty

• Rotors featuring the KRONE Jet Effect to avoid crop contamination on headlands

Permanently lubricated and maintenance-free. The enclosed bevel gearboxes and the tine arm rollers are permanently lubricated for optimum care and attention. So, operators need not bother to lube a single component on the rotor.

Boosting the productivity of the entire harvest chain is no problem for KRONE Swadro. The steep cam track is made from hard-wearing materials and provides precision guidance for the tines. A small track diameter in combination with massive cams make for quiet running, reduce wear and lead to well-shaped swaths. DuraMax cam track – maximum efficiency and maintenance-free components. Swadro is fun to use.

Great flexibility and cleanest rakes

• Optimum contouring in any direction through pivoting rotors

• Cleanest forage from the KRONE Jet Effect during take-off and touch-down

• Central suspension for a uniform ground pressure across the full widths of the rotors

The cardanic rotor suspension: The rotors pivot in and across the direction of travel to give optimum adaptation to undulating ground. A cardanic joint on the arm with two elongated holes prevents the tines from being pressed into the ground or from being left suspended in the air, thereby avoiding crop contamination as well as throwing the grass about.
