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.

Ŧhese 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.

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

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.

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.

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 ŧractor input requirement.

Running on the middle wheels when in transport, the machine does not mount in the

tractor‘s three-point linkage - which is ideal for smaller ŧractors with lower front axle load

and lift capacities.

Central border spreading facility

The border spreading facility ensures no crop is lost

along the field boundaries. Move this lever to the left or

right to direct the crop to that specific side.

Nice and compact

KW 5.52/4x7 T and KW 7.82/6x7 T are highly compact

models, which require little storage space. Parked on

large balloon tires and a steplessly adjustable stand

on the drawbar, the trailed models offer unsurpassed

stability.

Adjusting the spread angle

Adjusting the angle of spread is important, because it

adapts the machine optimally to the desired quality of

the forage. On KW 5.52/4x7 T and KW 7.82/6x7 T, the

setting is changed by operating an extension lever.

The running gear on KWT 7.82/6x7 and KWT 8.82/8

lifts and lowers via two single-acting and accumulated

rams. The KWT 11.22/10 model features two double-

acting rams.

increase the transport running gear’s forward swivel

range for enhanced weight distribution during headland

turns.

Robust, safe and convenient

The headstock suits two-point linkages. The driveshaft

is protected from damage if the link arms lift accidentally.

The foldable stand locks in place automatically.

V-frame

The KWT with transport running gear is pulled by

sturdy V-frame. The design and the wide-angle

driveshaft on the pivoting headstock make for tightest

headland turns.

Full adaptation

The pivoting two-point headstock floats over the ground

- a suspension system that cuts out the risk of torsion.

| Rotary tedders 09/13

Height-adjustable drawbar

Farmers in some markets prefer a floating drawbar. To

cater for these needs, we market a height-adjustable

hitch for our trailed KWT 8.82/8 rotary tedder.

Easy attachment/removal

The sturdy drawbar is designed like a V to cope with

even the harshest conditions. Attachment and removal

is easy and fast. The stand is steplessly adjusted to the

tractor‘s linkage or the linkage drawbar.

Setting the tedding height

A threaded spindle adjusts the drawbar height, which in

turn controls the working depth.

Rotary tedders 09/13 |

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.

Leading wheel

The KWT models are available with optional wheels that

run ahead of the unit. Trailing freely in close vicinity to

the tines and giving stepless height-adjustment, these

wheels ensure absolutely clean sweeps.

No crop is lost

The hydraulic border spreading system throws the crop

to either side and is standard specification on the KWT

machines. This system guarantees that every single

haulm is harvested.

| Rotary tedders 09/13

Easy operation

The reversing valve on the models KWT 7.82/6x7 and

KWT 8.82/8 activates the hydraulic border spreading

system, swinging the transport running gear up and

down and the rotors in and out.

No need to leave the cab

KWT 11.22/10 is operated via two double-acting spools

on the tractor. An electric reversing valve is an option,

which allows the machine to be operated from only one

single-acting hydraulic spool.

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.

deliver high-quality work. Operation is easy and convenient, and

stability is also superb. Many thought-through details were implemented in

this machine to achieve the best possible stability. For example, the locking system

that locks the leading guard in place also secures the joints between the individual

sections.

As the rotors lift out of work, a pretensioned spring

presses the drawbar to the ground, so the tractor‘s link

arms stay in position.

Spindle controlled

Depth on KWT 1600 is controlled from a threaded

spindle. When the depth is right, sweeps are clean and

tedding is effective.

Full adaptation

Elongated holes in the central boom section give the

central rotor the flexibility to follow the ground contours

irrespective of the transport gear‘s contouring and thus

ensuring thorough work in undulating terrain.

Uniform working depth

It is essential that all rotors work at an identical height.

The KRONE KWT 1600 and 2000 models feature boom

sections that offer eccentric adjustment. The system

ensures the high quality of work is maintained through-

out many years of operation.

| Rotary tedders 09/13

Perfect

The boom is made from extra strong steel that provides

the necessary stability to these huge widths. The

enclosed and extremely robust fan-type guard frame not

only complies with work and health safety regulations

but also takes load off the arms and joints.

Variable spreading 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 wheel arm holders. The steep position is preferred

during tedding; the shallow position is best for turning.

Running on big boots

Big boots leave a softer footprint on soft ground,

are gentle on the sward and reduce compaction.

KWT 1600 runs on standard 19.0/45-17 or optional

500/50-17 tyres, whereas KWT 2000 is equipped with

standard 500/50-17 tyres and 550/45 R22.5 rubber.

Electro-hydraulic

The base level KWT 2000 models feature electro-

hydraulic depth control from the Delta terminal or the

CCI terminal, each offering convenient adjustment on

the go and from the tractor cab.

A KRONE exclusive!

The steered transport running gear

In transport mode, the gear tracks perfectly

behind the tractor - giving tightest turns

In work mode, the gear aligns with the rotor wheels -

for optimum castering on headlands

Protecting the sward from damage and the tyres from excessive wear

Automatic transport / work changeovers

Gentle on the sward

KWT 1600 and KWT 2000 not only impress by delivering aligning with the rotor wheels in the field, any risk of

enormous work rates but also by an exemplary agility

scuffing is eliminated.

in awkwardly shaped fields. With the transport wheels

| Rotary tedders 09/13

Intelligent steering

The caster-steer transport running gear easily manages tightest turns, provides greatest

manoeuvrability and best castering on the road and in the field. Depending on the current

position of the rotors, it is the selected field/transport mode that steers automatically the large

caster transport wheels. To suit, the axles on KRONE KWT 1600 and KWT 2000 meet the highest

user demands.

Tracking behind the tractor

The transport wheels are tracking accurately behind the

tractor when the booms fold in for road travel or lift out

during headland turns.

Following the rotor wheels

Vice versa, the transport wheels are following the

wheels on the lowered booms when the combination is

travelling around bends in the field.

Flexible steering:

The forced-steer transport running gear provides two

different configurations that ensure the wheels perform

perfectly all the time, whether on the road, the headland

or in work. The configuration is altered hydraulically and

automatically as the frame sections are folding in or out.
