Permanently lubricated rotor gearboxes The enclosed liquid-grease lubricated gearboxes that drive the rotors are absolutely maintenancefree. Permanent lubrication gives peace of mind and increases the machine’s longevity. The chunky boxsection chassis absorbs all shock loads on the frame.

OctoLink: OctoLink is our extremely hardwearing clutch, which forms a frictional connection at all times and yet requires no attention at all. Some of its eight fingers are always in mesh, even when the rotors are folded through 180 degrees. The dependable system: When it comes to preparing wilted silage and hay, KRONE is the manufacturer that offers a large and extensive range of high-quality and dependable rotary tedders. These machines not only deliver high-quality work and feature a high level of standard specification but also boast a host of innovative features including maintenance-free OctoLink finger clutches and liquid-grease lubricated gearboxes to drive the rotors.

5, 6 or 7 tine arms: The KRONE KW and KWT rotary tedders are available in various work widths and dimensions. Yet the rotor diameters and the number of tine arms used on each rotor also vary to suit your special needs and requirements. Pick the KRONE machine that is tailored to your conditions – small-diameter rotors with 5 tine arms per rotor, mediumsized diameter rotors with 6 tine arms and large-diameter rotors with up to 7 arms.

Uniform distribution of the material: The tine arms mesh as they rotate, spreading the material uniformly across the working width to ensure the best possible wilt for quality forage.

Clean forage, uniform spread: Quality requires us to start with the basics. This is how we achieve high standards. The rotors on the KRONE rotary tedders are the deal equipment to produce quality forage for on-farm use. These rotors spin for you – in hay and silage. Professional: The two 9.5 mm (0.4") legs that form one pair of tines vary in length to provide the special KRONE combing effect for optimum treatment and cleanest forage. Five coils on each Super C steel spring tine give fl exibility and strength. Special stops on the ends of the tube-section tine holders ensure no tines are lost.

Adjusting to needs: The hex-head bolt on a separate eccentric plate instantly locks the double tine in one of three positions to provide more or less vigorous action and achieve optimum results in all conditions.

High performer in arduous conditions: Heavy-duty tine arms (38 mm x 4 mm (1.5" x 0.2") tube steel) and a special ring attachment system combine to provide dependable performance in tough and permanent operation. KRONE technology gives you true peace of mind in the most diffi cult conditions.

Tedding at a steep angle, turning at a shallow angle: Setting the angle from 13 to 19 degrees is an easy job, which is carried out quickly on a pin-and-hole system on the brackets that hold the wheel arms. The steep position is preferred during tedding; the shallow position is best for turning. Also, the angle setting system adapts the rotors accurately to the stubble height and yield, ensuring thorough work across the full work width. Fascinating details: Thought-through details and high operator comfort boost the efficiency of your operation. The central border spreading facility ensures you are not wasting a single stem along the boundaries. In addition, it allows you to spread uphill with the machine running at an angle to the tractor. The rotor tilt is adjusted without the need of tools for perfect adaptation to the current crop and yield. Tedding every stem, the machine provides uniform conditioning for best quality feed.

Best distribution of loads: On the headland, the running gear swings up and over the rotors, distributing the overall machine weight and hence ensuring a perfect and uniform spread across the full work width. There is nothing in the way.

Gentle on the sward: Clad with 18x8.50-8 tyres, the wheels running under the central rotors are wider to carry the transport running gear in the field, tread gently on the sward and give quiet running.

Sequence control: Conversion from transport to work position and vice versa is very convenient thanks to sequence control, which orchestrates the folding sections and the pivoting running gear.

Narrow swathing gearbox: This optional gearbox is simply pushed on the shaft and reduces the rotor speed to produce narrow night swaths.
