SWADRO

The flexible side delivery rake

Single and double-windrow presentation
Windrowing to the right
Variable work width
Cardanic rotor suspension
Hydraulic crop deflector adjustment
13 tine arms per rotor

Safe attachment: The drawbar – floating drawbar or linkage drawbar – is height-adjustable and the hitch ring is controlled by a parallel linkage. The hydraulic ram on the drawbar maintains the leading rotor parallel to the ground as it is lifted and lowered.

No need to leave the cab: The rear rotor features hydraulic crop deflector control for convenient adjustment from the tractor seat. The curtain retracts hydraulically into transport position.

Tandem axles: A wide wheelbase with 18" wheels provides excellent contouring. The leading wheels run far on the outside to provide optimum stability in sloping terrain. The working height is adjusted via these pin setting systems.

Forming one single windrow: Raking 6.20 m (20'4") into one windrow

Forming two windrows: Raking 6.80 m (22'4") into two windrows

Forming double windrows: Raking 12.40 m (40'8") into one double windrow

Single-windrow presentation: The Swadro TS models can be adapted to the crop conditions and the intake capacity of the following harvester. Single windrows are ideal in low-yielding crops and when using balers or forage wagons. The leading rotor spins faster than the rear unit, which eliminates roping.

Double-windrow presentation: Raking up two separate windrows in up and down operation, Swadro TS delivers a maximum work width of up to 15 m (49'3"). Double windrowing is a very effective method to fully exploit the intake capacities of powerful harvest machines.

Producing two windrows with TS Twin: Swadro TS Twin has telescoping arms as standard. An optional crop deflector is available to complement the dual windrow presenting specification

Consistent ends: A hydraulic sequence control moves the leading rotor first and then the rear rotor into headland position. The hydraulic valves that are required to implement sequence control are controlled mechanically via a robust shift gate. Operators can set the delay between raising the front and rear arms.

All Swadro TS and TS Twin models have a ball bearing that links the two-point headstock and the chassis. A steering rod controls the articulated steering when the machine is travelling through curves, which gives the rake outstanding agility and allows it to enter awkward areas without shunting. No crop is left behind.

Convenient transport height: The machine folds to a transport height of less than 4 m (13'2"), with arms moving up hydraulically and the curtain on the side lowering automatically.

THE TINE ARMS

Stable running and tidy windrowing

Large-diameter and thick-walled tine arms ensure absolutely dependable operation
Easy and fast tine arm attachment and removal
Sturdy foldback mechanism

Tine arms and tines: The tine arms are thick-walled and large in diameter. 10.5 mm (0.4") double tines that wind around the arms in three massive spring coils offering outstanding flexibility and longevity. Each tine arm carries four double tines.

Each tine arm is easily removed: Simply undo two bolts to remove the entire arm complete with bearing and roller.

Sturdy foldback mechanism: Gap-free and hard-wearing functionality comes from a holder that is made from hardened steel and has a pivoting joint that is loaded by a Belleville spring on the models with multiple rotors.

KRONE LIFT TINES

Clean windrows, better feed

Greater ground clearance
Higher work rates
No crop contamination
Higher-quality forage
Minimum crop loss

Setting the tines to an optimum position: The special Lift tines perform better, because their ends maintain a steep angle even in heavy crop and lift it more easily, which leads to more uniform windrows. As a result, the machine can work at a faster pace and still deliver consistently well shaped windrows.

No crop contamination: Thanks to their excellent performance, the Lift tines can work at a greater ground clearance than traditional tines. And thus reduce the risk of crop contamination as well as tine wear.

THE RUNNING GEAR

Great stability and excellent tracking

Cleanest rakes as the bogie wheels run in vicinity of the tines
Straightforward angle adjustment
Castering wheels are standard at the front and an option at the rear to protect the sward

Wide track width and quiet running: It is the extra wide tracking width of the running gear that absorbs the forces that are generated by the rotors and keeps them level and stable in undulating terrain.

THE CARDANIC ROTOR SUSPENSION

Great flexibility and cleanest rakes

Optimum contouring in any direction through pivoting rotors
Cleanest forage from the KRONE Jet Effect during take-off and touch-down
Central suspension for a uniform ground pressure across the full widths of the rotors

The cardanic rotor suspension: The rotors pivot in and across the direction of travel to give optimum adaptation to undulating ground. A cardanic joint on the arm with two elongated holes prevents the tines from being pressed into the ground or from being left suspended in the air, thereby avoiding crop contamination as well as throwing the grass about.

The central suspension: The rotors suspend centrally across the direction of travel which allows them to produce consistent and high-quality windrows. The special suspension ensures they always stay level as they lift and lower on the headland. In addition, the machine’s weight is distributed uniformly on all wheels of the running gear as it travels down the field.

HEAVY-DUTY AND MAINTENANCE-FREE

Maintenance-free rotors and rotor gearboxes
Hard-wearing DuraMax cam tracks with a three-year warranty
Rotors featuring the KRONE Jet Effect to avoid crop contamination on headlands

Permanently lubricated and maintenance-free. The enclosed bevel gearboxes and the tine arm rollers are permanently lubricated for optimum care and attention. So, operators need not bother to lube a single component on the rotor.

Boosting the productivity of the entire harvest chain is no problem for KRONE Swadro. The steep cam track is made from hard-wearing materials and provides precision guidance for the tines. A small track diameter in combination with massive cams make for quiet running, reduce wear and lead to well-shaped swaths. DuraMax cam track – maximum efficiency and maintenance-free components. Swadro is fun to use.
