KWT 2000 tedder works nearly at 20 metres
The world’s largest tedder on show at the Krone stand
Spelle, 21 September 2011. At Agritechnica, Krone is going to present the world’s biggest rotary tedder - the new KWT 2000 with 18 rotors, which give a total work width of 19.6 metres. Yet, despite these impressive dimensions, the machine provides exceptional tracking thanks to Krone’s innovative and intelligent steering system. This forced steering system is activated during road transport and ensures the tedder is accurately tracking behind the tractor, providing an enormous agility for a machine this size. Vice versa, in field mode, forced steering is automatically deactivated and the point of pivot is shifting to the bogies so they track behind the transport running gear, effectively cutting out scuffing.
Active weight shifting on the headland
As the rotors lift out of work, a hydraulically tensioned spring presses on the drawbar while the transport link arms maintain their current position. This spring slackens automatically when the rotors return into working position or when they fold into transport position, a principle that makes the tedder safer and eliminates the risk of pushing up hay on slopes, for example.
Further significant details include the small 1.53 m rotor diameter, which translates into excellent ground contour following and quality of work. Running on large tyres and equipped with automatic folding guards, the machine is compact and safe on the road. It is attached to the three-point linkage and requires a single-acting spool and a return line. KWT 2000 is compatible with load sensing tractors and carries standard ISOBUS electronics, which allow operators to move the tedder from transport position to working or headland position from the tractor seat. The stepless working height setting system is equally convenient.
Summary: KWT 2000 reiterates Krone’s market position as the innovation leader in forage harvesting technology and bears evidence that there is plenty of potential in the rotary tedder segment.
