2023 Krone Four Rotor Rakes Swadro TC 1370

2023 Krone Four Rotor Rakes Swadro TC 1370

Features may include:

• Variable, 10.80 to 13.70 m work widths

• Hydraulic rotor suspension

• Integral vibration damper

• Electric rotor height control with two selectable height options

• 710 transport tyres and 16x9.50 bogie tyres are an option

• Hydraulic beam control for less than 4 m transport heights

• KRONE Easy-Line driveline for optimum swaths and rakes

The new TC 1370 four-rotor centre delivery rake makes its appearance in a new styling and with plenty of landmark features including convenient setting options that make the job a lot easier for operators and produce optimum swaths at high outputs.

• 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.

The central suspension: The rotors suspend centrally across the direction of travel which allows them to produce consistent and high-quality windrows. The special suspension ensures they always stay level as they lift and lower on the headland. In addition, the machine’s weight is distributed uniformly on all wheels of the running gear as it travels down the field.

The KRONE Jet Effect prevents the tines from damaging the sward on the headland and ensures the crop stays clean. As the bogies are lowered into work, the rear wheels touch down first before the leading wheels follow. Vice versa, as the rotors lift out it is the leading wheels that lift out first and the rear wheels that follow. This is identical with the take-off and touch-down phases observed with airplanes.

• Cleanest rakes as the bogie wheels run in vicinity of the tines

• Straightforward angle adjustment

• Castering wheels are standard at the front and an option at the rear to protect the sward

Wide track width and quiet running: It is the extra wide tracking width of the running gear that absorbs the forces that are generated by the rotors and keeps them level and stable in undulating terrain.

Stable running and tidy windrowing
