Swadro TC

­KRONE centre delivery rotary rakes – The most comprehensive offer on the market. With the ­KRONE Swadro TC rotary rakes, ­KRONE offers the largest product range in the centre rotor rake segment. Starting with the twin-rotor rake Swadro TC 640 for small areas and mountainous regions, through to the world's only six-rotor rake Swadro TC 2000 for maximum efficiency and recovery performance, a wide range of model variants and equipment options are available.

With the Swadro TC rotary rakes with centre delivery, ­KRONE offers the widest product portfolio on the market. Starting with the twin rotor rake Swadro TC 640 , through the entry-level model into the world of large-area rakes, the Swadro TC 1250, to the world's largest centre rotor rake, the Swadro TC 2000, ­KRONE offers working widths between 5.70 m and 19.00 m in this segment. In addition, you can choose from a wide range of optional equipment and operator comfort.

Four-rotor rake centre delivery: Variable working widths from 11.00 m to 15.70 m

• 3D contouring in any direction
• Best possible 3D contouring for all tines
• Clean forage, no losses

• Sealed and maintenance-free rotor gearboxes
• Fuel-efficient gear ratio
• Lubricated for life with fluid grease

 The Swadro rotor gearbox is powerful and yet frugal in terms of tractor power. Thanks to its large gear ratio, Swadro requires only low pto speeds at minimum wear. Compared to other swathing systems, Swadro rotary rakes stand out for low input power and great fuel economy.

• Gauge wheels on high flotation tyres run very close to the tines
• The largest wheelbase on the market
• Adjuster changes the rotor angle across the direction of travel for optimum swaths and loss-free rakes.
• Caster steer wheels at front and rear (option) protect the sward

The wheels under the KRONE Swadro rotors never lose contact with the ground, not even the roughest terrain. The largest possible contact area and pivoting range in combination with suitable tyres ensures no blade is left on the sward and the sward is not damaged. Clean and intact swards are the cornerstone for top quality forage also from the next cut.

• Maintenance-free
• Special Bainite hardness
• Dry cam track

• Maximum stability and reliability
• Wear-free and gap-free folding arms
• Swift changeovers
• Pre-machined notch

Maximum stability and reliability The Swadro tine arms set the benchmark in terms of durability and reliable operation. The massive design of the arms with pre-machined notches makes these arms stand out in the rotary rake sector, because it withstands the highest loads and brings peace of mind in extremely difficult conditions

• Clean forage thanks to the Lift Effect
• High driving speeds without losses
• Increase in forage quality
• Reduced losses

All current ­KRONE Swadro models have the ­KRONE Lift Tines as standard specification. Kinked in two positions, these tines offer significant benefits that have been verified in ­KRONE field tests and a DLG Focus Test.

• Flexible working widths. Maximum throughputs on forage wagons, balers and foragers
• High rotor lift-out on the headland. No disturbance of voluminous swaths
• Maximum operator comfortfor relaxed working on long harvesting days

Even swaths, high acreage output, clean raking paired with flexible adjustment options for all conditions are convincing arguments for the Swadro TC and TC Plus rotor rakes from ­KRONE. At the same time, the Swadro TC Plus offers the greatest possible operator comfort for the driver, so that even long working days can be approached in a relaxed manner.

• A controlled material flow through the machine for best rakes
• Boosted outputs from the forage wagon, baler or forager
• No roping for maximum harvester performance

­The KRONE Easy-Line increases rotor rpm on the leading units by about 25% compared with the rear units, so the leading rotors present the material in a wider mat to the ones at the rear which rake it into fluffy and boxy swaths. The Easy Line driveline ensures the material doesn’t drop back on the ground once it has been picked up. This explains why even the multiple- rotor rakes in the KRONE Swadro range ensure gentle treatment and minimal contamination even when several rotors work in sequence.

• Entry-level four-rotor rake with variable 9.80 m to 12.50 m widths
• ­KRONE Easy-Line drive system: perfect swaths for baler, loading and forage transport wagon and forage harvester
• Simple and quick adjustment of the raking height with direct display of the set height
• Comfortable field change without getting down from the cab to under 4 m height and under 3 m width
• Precisely and infinitely adjustable hydraulic relief for optimum ground contouring
• Single-rotor lifting mechanism: ideal for swathing on wedge-shaped tapered surfaces

With the new Swadro TC 1250, ­KRONE enters the field of large area technology. Powerful components of the large professional machines combined with the simple operating philosophy of the twin-rotor rakes make the Swadro TC 1250 the ideal all-rounder for self-mechanised farmers, machinery syndicates and contractors.

• Variable work width from 10.80 m to 13.70 m
• Hydraulic rotor suspension
• Integrated vibration damping with Soft-Down automatic lowering mechanism
• Electric rotor height adjustment with two storable height settings
• Wide tyre package with 710 transport tyres and 16x9.50 rotor tyres optional
• Hydraulic beam control for less than 4.00 m transport heights
• ­KRONE Easy-Line drive concept for optimum swath shape and best raking quality

The four-rotor rake centre delivery Swadro TC 1370 not only comes in a modern design, but also with numerous technical highlights. These include convenient setting and adjustment options which greatly facilitate work and ensure optimum swathing results with high acreage output.

• Variable work widths 10.00 m to 19.00 m
• Stepless swath width control from 1.60 m to 2.80 m
• Automatic rotor overlap control
• Intelligent steering of the transport chassis

With the Swadro TC 2000, ­KRONE is setting standards in terms of acreage output and raking quality. With a flexible working width between 10.00 m – 19.00 m, acreage outputs of up to 20 ha/h are possible. The enormous working width reduces the overall length of the swaths by up to 30 % and therefore also reduces the number of passes of the following harvesting chain per ha to a minimum. In addition, the Swadro TC 2000 increases the recovery performance of the following harvesters by up to 15 %. This means that the forage harvester or loading and forage transport wagon is always optimally utilised, especially in cuts with low growth.
