Krone Swadro TC1370 helps farmers rake it in

Krone’s Swadro TC1370 rake possesses all the well-known traits of the Swadro range while offering better convenience features and durability, according to Krone Australia.

Compared to the Swadro1400Plus model, the new 13.7m four-rotor system can cover more ground per hour thanks to some design improvements, Krone added.

“A key feature of the Swadro TC 1370 is a new hydro-pneumatic flotation suspension system which allows users to adjust the rotor weight from the tractor cabin instead of using springs on the machine,” said Krone Australia’s Assistant Product Manager, Nathan Thomas.

“This results in better and lighter ground contouring and less stress on the machine.”

“Another key feature is the new integral vibration dampers with soft-down drop rate control, which gently lowers the rotors into its working position, improving the quality of feed,” Thomas added.

“Rotors can be adjusted individually or together on the monitor via the electric height adjustment, meaning there is no need to dismount the tractor, giving the operator more control and saving valuable time.”

The rake is standard with larger transport wheels of size 710/35 R 22.5 and updated wider rotor wheels of size 16.0–9.5-8, compared to the previous 16.0-6.5-8, ensuring less bounce and better contouring, Krone said

Other features include five tines on the rear rotors instead of four and a centre frame which sits higher for more clearance in difficult terrain.

The TC 1370 is still equipped with the Swadro line’s tried and tested features including a DuraMax steep dry cam track with three-year warranty and a lift tine for a perfect windrow with less crop losses.

Krone said it has sold out of the Swadro TC 1370 for the upcoming hay and silage season, however for more information on the machine and when the next order and delivery window may be, visit kroneaustralia.com.au
