Krone adds new rakes to its centre delivery range
On the occasion of the Bavarian farming event ZLF in Munich, KRONE will be presenting three new rake models, the Swadro TC 640, Swadro TC 930 and Swadro TC 1000 as the company systematically expands its centre delivery portfolio systematically, Swadro TC 640 is an intriguing entry-level model that rakes 5.7m to 6.4m into 1.0m to 1.7m swaths whereas the higher capacity Swadro TC 930 and Swadro TC 1000 models offer work widths of 8.1m to 9.3m and 8.9m to 10.0m respectively.
The three new centre delivery rakes share the same robust build, the cardanic rotor suspension system and the Krone Lift Tines with curved ends which allow the vertical tines to lift the crop as it is being raked (the Krone Lift Effect), hence minimizing contamination of the crop and leading to a substantial improvement of the quality of the forage.
Naturally, all these new models feature the tried-and-trusted Krone technology: the maintenance-free rotor gearboxes with heavy-duty and unlubricated Duramax cam tracks which come with a 3-year warranty. These are sourced from Krone’s modular system are used on all rakes – from the single-rotor model to the Swadro 2000 flagship. The tine arms have ball bearings and are maintenance-free, requiring no lubrication at all. Like all Krone rakes, these new models also feature the Krone ‘Jet Effect’. As the centre of gravity of each rotor is arranged behind the suspension system (cardanic rotor suspension) the tines will not scratch the ground as they lift and lower. Like a jet, the rotor’s front end lifts out first when being raised out of work and its rear end touches down first when lowering back into work.
Another plus is the artic-steer running gear (an option on Swadro TC 640) while the transport frame offers maximum strength at low maintenance. The stand-out feature on Swadro TC 930 and Swadro TC 1000 is the forward sloping beam with Y gearbox. The transport height for the TC 640 and TC 930 models is less than 4m and there is no need to fold the tine arms.
