Four-Rotor Rakes

The Alpha control box for the Swadro 1400 gives finger-tip control of rotor height, work width and windrowing width as well as individual or sequential rotor up/down control.

The DS 500 operator terminal: The DS 500 terminal has a backlit display which shows the current settings. This terminal provides all Alpha features plus auto height control on Swadro 1400 Plus after the height was set on one rotor. An optional joystick is available to off er even more convenient operation.

CCI 1200 operator terminal: Offering a large 12inch colour touch screen, this terminal splits into three separate views, offering a customized user interface. CCI 1200 is ISOBUS compatible and therefore a universal terminal that is ready for use on other machines as well. For added operator comfort, it also has inputs for an optional joystick (WTK) with customizable controls.

The ISOBUS-compatible tractor terminal: Here is an example of an ISOBUS-compatible tractor terminal which controls all machine functions.

The automatic SectionControl feature is very useful when raking out wedges and awkward patches. Detecting raked areas and raising the rotors, this feature prevents the same patch is raked twice.

Changing work widths hydraulically: The work width on the front and rear rotors is adjusted by telescoping the arms hydraulically, thereby moving also the positions of the right-angle gearboxes which drive the front rotors. This system warrants effective overlapping of both ends of the driveshafts irrespective of the current work width.

Controlling the height of the rotors conveniently from a cab-based terminal with large display screen is standard specification on these models. This way, the operator adjusts all rotors at once or each rotor individually. Swadro 1400 Plus allows operators to set the height on one rotor and then have all remaining rotors adopt the current setting.
