Krone Vendro T900 ideal for large scale silage making

Krone Australia said its heavy-duty Vendro T900 trailing tedder is perfect for contractors or farmers running large scale operations and is easy to store.

“The Krone Vendro T900 trailing tedder will help farmers working across a large area boost their harvest efficiency and improve their forage quality by controlling the wilting process,” said Krone Australia Product Manager, Ash Swayn.

“What separates Krone’s Vendro range from the rest is its OptiTurn Tines. The 3D design of the OptiTurn Tines on the T900 model allows for a thorough gathering and uniform spread of the material across the machine’s entire 9m width.

“With the T900 model, the new OptiTurn Tines with kinks in two places allows for a smoother and more uniform spreading of crop than we have previously seen. The Tine arms of the adjacent rotors overlap generously, leaving no crop behind.

“The tines shafts vary in length meaning the grass is literally lifted off the ground instead of being dragged along. This reduces contamination and the risk of moulding, resulting in a cleaner and high-quality crop.

The Krone Vendro T900’s Eight Finger Clutch allows for frictional connections in any position, Swayn added, which provides a constant power flow and minimises the risk of damage due to operator error.

“Thanks to its robust and lightweight design, the T900 Vendro Trailing Tedder is suitable for compact tractors, requiring a minimum of 50hp, making it compatible with several machines,” Swayn said.

The Vendro T900 folds to less than 3m within a matter of minutes, making transportation and storage of the unit easy.

“The attachment is wide in the field but narrow on the road. During storage, the rotors are folded down ensuring safe road travel between paddocks,” Swayn said.

“Hydraulic dampeners are standard equipment for the Vendro 900 and ensure quiet running behind the tractor and improve tracking in the field, while maintaining stable positioning during transport.

“Hydraulic Preset Headland Position is also standard for the Vendro 900, allowing the user to pre-set the height to which the machine is raised on the headland, in order to avoid tedding the same ground twice.”

In addition to these new features, the T900 Vendro Trailing Tedder has inherited some tried-and-tested features from the KW range including OctoLink, a permanently lubricated gearbox which is mounted under each section and border spreading.
