NEW KRONE SWADRO TC880 PLUS (11009304)

New Krone Swadro TC880 Plus

The Krone Swadro TC880 Plus is a high-capacity twin-rotor rake designed for efficient, precise raking in large-scale forage operations. Part of Krone’s Swadro series, it combines durability with advanced features to produce uniform, clean windrows, which enhance baling and harvesting efficiency. Here’s an in-depth look at the TC880 Plus’s key features and capabilities:

Key Features and Specifications:

1. Adjustable Working Width:
   • The Swadro TC880 Plus offers a flexible working width that can be adjusted from approximately 7.6 meters to 8.8 meters (25 to 29 feet). This wide range allows operators to customize windrow sizes to fit various balers and forage harvesters, maximizing efficiency across different crop conditions.
2. Twin-Rotor Design with Swadro Jet Effect:
   • The TC880 Plus features two large rotors equipped with up to 13 tine arms each, which gather forage efficiently. Krone’s “Jet Effect” technology lifts the rotors from the rear first and lowers them from the front first, preventing soil contamination and helping to preserve forage quality.
3. Hydraulic Adjustment and Ease of Operation:
   • This model offers hydraulic width adjustment, allowing operators to change the working width from the cab, enabling quick adjustments based on crop density and field conditions. The machine is often compatible with ISOBUS systems, allowing for in-cab monitoring and adjustment for easy operation and customization.
4. High-Quality Windrow Formation:
   • The TC880 Plus is engineered to create well-formed, consistent windrows, which helps maximize pickup efficiency for balers and forage harvesters. Its adjustable settings allow for precise control over windrow width and height, ensuring optimal drying and efficient processing.
5. Transport-Friendly Design:
   • Although it has a wide working width, the TC880 Plus folds into a compact size for road transport. Its transport width meets legal road regulations in most regions, allowing for safe and straightforward travel between fields.
6. Durability and Robust Construction:
   • Krone rakes are known for their solid, heavy-duty design, and the TC880 Plus is no exception. Built to endure high-capacity work, it has a reinforced frame and durable tine arms, providing resilience for long-term, intensive use.
7. Maintenance and Accessibility:
   • Krone’s modular design simplifies maintenance, with easily accessible components for routine servicing. The tine arms and rotors are designed for longevity and are easy to replace, minimizing downtime during peak harvesting seasons.

Ideal Applications and Benefits

The Krone Swadro TC880 Plus is perfect for large-scale farming and custom harvesting operations that require reliable, efficient raking with high capacity. It’s especially suited for operators looking to increase productivity and preserve forage quality, as its advanced features ensure minimal contamination and optimized windrow formation.
