The four-rotor center delivery rakes from KRONE are productive workhorses. With the Swadro 1400 and an adjustable working width of between 11.00 and 13.50 m (36'1" and 44'4"), one can easily handle more than 13 hectares (32 acres) per hour with just one tractor. This giant performance enables the replacement of two twin rotor rakes with merely one Swadro 1400.

The plus about Swadro 1400 Plus is its superior operator comfort and top performance in really tough conditions. The comprehensive base specification level includes the hydraulically lowering running gear, electric Comfort height control and extra strong driveshafts, ticking every box.

Quick and simple: assembly and disassembly of the complete tine arm with bearing and cam follower roller. After removing only two bolts the complete unit can be pulled out of the rotor. The removal of two hollow roll pins means that the outer end of the arm can also be exchanged.

Cleanest sweeps – up to five double tines on each tine arm give a trailing action for cleanest rakes. Thick-walled arms and up to 10.5 mm (0.4") tines plus large-diameter coils combine to guarantee outstanding longevity, flexibility and strength

Dura-Max: the cam-track, double hardened and impact resistant strength, is made from Bainite-hardened cast iron to ensure a high abrasion resistance while being completely maintenance-free. This camtrack comes with a three-year warranty.

Cardanic suspension as standard! The plate with an elongated hole allowing a free pendulum in direction of travel. From this point, the tridem axles guide the cardanic linked rotors.

Contaminated forage is unacceptable: Cardanic suspension is perfect for the production of high quality forage. The cardanic suspension means that the rotors optimally follow all ground contours, even lengthwise in the driving direction and this ensures that the predetermined working height is better maintained especially when working in uneven ground. This will pay for itself in a very short time. The tines follow the ground contours, operate cleanly and endure less stress. The KRONE Swadros leave nothing behind on the ground, not even in hilly or undulating terrain.

The KRONE Jet Effect: clean landing, clean start! The trailing rotor linkage, combined with the cardanic suspension, makes perfect sense: as when the rotor is lowered, the rear wheels of the tridem axle touch the ground first and then the front wheels – when lifting this occurs in the reverse order. This is why the tines are unable to drop into the ground, damaging the windrow or contaminate the forage during the lowering and lifting process. This KRONE solution guarantees high quality forage.

Optional specification: The drawbar on Swadro 1400 features a ball hitch and hydraulic height adjustment. Tractor attachment and removal is easy. No link arms required. No jolting. All operation is safe and absolutely comfortable.

The Alpha terminal for Swadro 1400 is used to control work depth and width as well as the width of the windrow. Simply press a button to raise and lower one rotor or both rotors sequentially. Swadro 1400 is compatible with the tractor’s load sensing system.
