NEW KRONE SWADRO TC640 (11008650)

New Krone Swadro TC640

The Krone Swadro TC640 is a compact yet high-performance twin-rotor rotary rake from Krone’s Swadro lineup, designed for efficient raking on medium to large farms. It’s ideal for farmers who need a reliable, precise, and easy-to-operate machine that produces high-quality, uniform windrows. Here’s an overview of its features and specifications:

Key Features and Specifications:

1. Working Width:
   • The Swadro TC640 has an adjustable working width, typically ranging from 5.8 to 6.4 meters (19 to 21 feet). This adjustability enables it to adapt to various crop conditions and preferred windrow sizes, making it versatile across different forage types.
2. Twin-Rotor Design:
   • The TC640 utilizes two rotors, each equipped with multiple tine arms (usually around 11 to 13 arms per rotor, depending on the configuration). The twin-rotor design helps create consistent, uniform windrows that optimize the pickup efficiency of balers and forage harvesters that follow.
3. Hydraulic Working Width Adjustment:
   • Operators can adjust the raking width hydraulically from the cab, making it easy to adapt to different field conditions without manual adjustments. This flexibility allows for precise windrow formation tailored to specific equipment requirements and crop density.
4. Clean Raking and Crop Protection:
   • The TC640 includes Krone’s “Jet Effect” technology, where the rotors lift off the ground from the rear first and lower from the front first, reducing the risk of soil contamination and preserving crop quality. This is particularly important when harvesting forage for high-quality feed.
5. Durability and Robust Construction:
   • Built to withstand intensive use, the Swadro TC640 has a solid frame and durable tine arms to handle rough field conditions. Krone’s heavy-duty design ensures the rake can handle the stress of frequent raking in high-production operations.
6. Compact Transport and Folding:
   • When it’s time to move between fields, the Swadro TC640 folds into a compact form that meets road transport regulations in most areas. Its compact transport width makes it suitable for operations where fields are separated by public roads, enabling safe and easy travel.
7. Maintenance-Friendly:
   • The Swadro TC640 is designed for easy maintenance with accessible components, reducing the time and effort needed for service. The modular design of the tine arms and rotors simplifies any necessary repairs, minimizing downtime.
8. Operator Convenience:
   • The TC640 is compatible with various control systems, often featuring ISOBUS compatibility if used with a compatible tractor. This allows for in-cab control of adjustments, which simplifies operation and reduces operator fatigue.

Applications and Benefits

The Krone Swadro TC640 is suitable for farmers and contractors who need a reliable rake with moderate capacity, making it a great choice for medium to large-scale forage operations. Its precision in creating consistent windrows helps improve the efficiency of balers and forage harvesters, saving time and reducing fuel consumption in the harvesting process.
