2020 Krone Six-Rotor Rake Swadro 2000

2020 Krone Six-Rotor Rake Swadro 2000

Features may include:

• Variable, up to 19.00 m (62'4") work widths

• Variable, up to 3.00 m (9'10") windrow widths

• Intelligent transport wheel steering

The giant centre-delivery rake: Relying on six rotors and offering variable work widths between 10 m (32'10") and 19 m (62'4"), Swadro 2000 from KRONE is the biggest machine on the market which brings you unsurpassed efficiency, very little maintenance and quickest changeovers as well as high transport speeds, great longevity and a maximum of operator comfort and on top covers up to 20 hectares (49.5 acres) per hour. The windrows produced by Swadro 2000 are about 30% shorter per hectare than those produced by a four-rotor rake. A 30% shorter windrow translates into fewer passes and an up to 15% higher output of the following harvesters. As such, Swadro 2000 presents the ideal machine for large-scale and contracting operations.

• 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

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.

Hard-wearing KRONE DuraMax cam tracks: For greatest longevity, these cam tracks are made from high-tensile and Bainite-tempered cast SG iron which offers exceptional resistance to wear and tear and is absolutely maintenance-free. For this reason, KRONE is able to offer a three-year warranty on these DuraMax cam tracks.

• 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.

The KRONE Jet Effect prevents the tines from damaging the sward on the headland and ensures the crop stays clean. As the bogies are lowered into work, the rear wheels touch down first before the leading wheels follow. Vice versa, as the rotors lift out it is the leading wheels that lift out first and the rear wheels that follow. This is identical with the take-off and touch-down phases observed with airplanes.

The trailing rotors: The rotors are trailed rather than being pushed in direction of travel. Therefore they enjoy greater flexibility in following ground contours and there is no risk of tines being pressed into the soil

• Cleanest rakes as the bogie wheels run in vicinity of the tines

• Straightforward angle adjustment
