Vendro – Rotary Tedders

• Standard overrunning clutch in the main gearbox maximises safety when turning off the machine
• Rotor gearboxes
  • Maintenance-free and liquid-grease lubricated
  • Long service life thanks to permanent lubrication and the cantilevered design
• Reduction gearbox produces small night swaths for faster wilting

The KRONE rotary tedders are designed to deliver perfect functionality. Key elements in this context are the main gearbox with a standard overrunning clutch and the maintenance-free and permanently lubricated rotor gearboxes.

All tedders have a main gearbox with overrunning clutch as a standard feature which allows the rotors to phase out instead of stopping instantly when the pto is switched off, eliminating any risk of damage due to overrunning components.

The rotor gearboxes are mounted under the robust frame where they are safe from exposure to the strains of work and operation. Sealed and filled with semi-fluid grease, the boxes are maintenance-free and extremely durable.

It is possible to operate the rotors at lower speeds to pro-duce narrow night swaths. This is implemented by optional ad-on gearboxes that are particularly beneficial in haymaking. In configuration two rotors form a pair each of which groups the material into one narrow swath that absorbs less moisture during the night and is spread again on the following day. This technique reduces the risk of variations in crop wilt in the same field.
