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.

The rotors

• Cleanest sweeps from double tines with legs of different lengths.
• Uniform spread as tine arms overlap generously.
• Heavy-duty and hardwearing – 9.5 mm (0.4″) Super C double tines with 5 coils and tube-section tines.

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 ideal equipment to produce quality forage for on-farm use. These rotors spin for you – in hay and silage.

All inclusive
The meaningful system

• Central border spreading control spreads the crop away from the boundary for easier harvesting.
• The angle of throw is adjusted without tools to adapt to varying crops and yields.
• The rotors run on large wheels with inner tubes, which give excellent guidance for cleanest sweeps and dependable operation.
• Anti-wrap guards ensure a smooth crop flow and trouble-free work.

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.

The headstock
Compact and safe

• The machine automatically moves into a central position as it is raised, offering a convenient transport position.
• Damper braces with compression springs provide for excellent tracking.
• Compact and safe on the road.

Handling excellence

A KRONE rotary tedder is robust, offering excellent road safety, positive castering and convenient adjustment from the cab. Folded into transport position, the machine offers a low center of gravity for compact and safe travelling between fields and compact storage.

Three-point mounted models
With 4 and 6 rotors

• KW 4.62/4, KW 5.52/4×7, KW 6.02/6, KW 6.72/6 and KW 7.82/6×7 – working at 4.60 m to 7.80 m (15’1″ to 25’7″) widths with rotors in various diameters.
• Central border spreading facility manual or hydraulic control (option).
• Convenient operation via a single-acting spool.

Rugged build and easy handling

Featuring strong frames, robust gearboxes and rotors, the KRONE rotary tedders perform equally well in hay and heavy crops, having proven themselves best in silage. Pivot joints on the frame and scores of useful setting options make KRONE rotary tedders the masters of super clean sweeps and quality forage.

Three-point mounted models
With 8 and 10 rotors

• KW 7.92/8, KW 8.82/8, KW 11.22/10 – working at widths of 7.90 -11.00 m (25’11” – 36’1″).
• Small diameter rotors are uniformly spaced for a uniform wilt.
• Damper braces with Eladur spring elements enhance smooth rides.
• Fold-in end rotors reduce transport height.

Work wider and reduce costs

The KW 7.92/8, KW 8.82/8 and KW 11.22/10 models are attached to the tractor’s three-point linkage. Dispensing with the transport running gear, these machines are marketed at a very competitive price and still offer a high level of base specification features including central border spreading control. The KW 7.92/8 und 8.82/8 models are controlled via a single acting spool whereas the KW 11.22/10 requires two double acting spools. With all rotors spaced at identical distances, the machine produces uniform spread patterns.

Trailed models
4 and 6 rotors

• KW 5.52/4×7 T, KW 7.82/6×7 T 5.50 m-7.80 m (18’1″ – 25’7″) work widths.
• Minimum input requirement No load is taken off the tractor’s front axle.
• Easy tractor attachment/removal Hydraulic pivoting drawbar moves conveniently into transport position.

Trailed models are lighter in weight

The trailed rotary tedders working at widths of 5.50 m (18’1″) and 7.80 m (25’7″) stand out for their low tractor input requirement. Running on the middle wheels when in transport, the machine does not mount in them tractor‘s three-point linkage – which is ideal for smaller tractors with lower front axle load and lift capacities.

Models with transport running gear
6 to 10 rotors

• KWT 7.82/6×7 / KWT 8.82/8 / KWT 11.22/10 7.80 m -11.00 m (25’7″- 36’1″) work widths.
• Sequence control for maximum operator comfort 40 km/h (25 mph), wide transport running gear, large wheels.
• Swinging transport running gear, excellent distribution of weight which does not affect the spread pattern but ensures effective protection of the sward.

Easy mover

Working at wide widths and behind small tractors, the models KWT 7.82/6 x 7, KWT 8.82/8 and KWT 11.22/10 with transport running gear are the ideal machines to operate behind low-horsepower tractors with small lift capacities. Working at widths of up to 11.00 m (36’1″), these tedders are yet further evidence that KRONE delivers the goods to modern farming.
