          Maximum stability and reliability. The Swadro tine arms set the benchmark in terms of durability and reliable operation. The massive design of the arms with pre-machined notches makes these arms stand out in the rotary rake sector, because it withstands the highest loads and brings peace of mind in extremely difficult conditions.

          • Gauge wheels on high flotation tyres run very close to the tines
          • The largest wheelbase on the market
          • Adjuster changes the rotor angle across the direction of travel for optimum swaths and loss-free rakes.
          • Caster steer wheels at front and rear (option) protect the sward


          The wheels under the KRONE Swadro rotors never lose contact with the ground, not even the roughest terrain. The largest possible contact area and pivoting range in combination with suitable tyres ensures no blade is left on the sward and the sward is not damaged. Clean and intact swards are the cornerstone for top quality forage also from the next cut.

          • nique caster-steered headstock with patented lower link couplers offers two attachment options
          • A level of operator comfort and setup accuracy that is second-to-none

          The new Swadro S single-rotor rakes with 3.80 m, 4.20 m and 4.60 m working widths stand out for great longevity and reliability but also in terms of operator comfort and convenient setup. Their remarkable level of reliability and longevity is attributed to their durable drive components that are sourced from the KRONE high-output rakes. Also, the compact Swadro S build offers the best possible view of the rotors and the swath whilst the precise and convenient setting options make for easiest use and optimum results.

          • Great agility and best tracking thanks to the tracking mechanism and balancing arm
          • Mechanical or hydraulic dampers provide powerful and yet gentle alignment centrally behind the tractor
          • The KRONE Jet Effect controls the tines during life-out and touch-down
          • Standard four-wheel running gear for treading softly on big flotation tyres
          • Leading gauge wheel is an option for perfect contour following in uneven terrain

          The Swadro single-rotor rakes deliver outstanding results. The damper struts, the balancing arm and the pull-type configuration of the rotors combine and interact for optimum castering. The wheels are clad with big flotation tyres and run in close vicinity to the tines for accurate contour following. This is the formula for raking up every single blade of grass without damaging the turf.

          • Down-to-the millimetre rotor height settings and accurate scales
          • Convenient curtain fold-up mechnism takes out the hard work
          • Foldable tine arms feature wear-free and gapless joints

          The Swadro S single-rotor rakes stand out for ease of operation. For example, work height and swath width are changed on the left side of the rake or even from the cab as an option. The tine arms are foldable and need not removing and storing into transport position so changeovers from field to road are fast and easy.

          Trailed single-rotor rakes

          • Wide working width
          • Low power input
          • Parallel-linkage controlled drawbar
          • Standard tandem axle and 18" tyres
          • Swadro 38 T and 42 T not available in Germany

          The 38 T, 42 T and 46 T additions to the Swadro model range were developed in response to farmer demands for a trailed and well-proven single-rotor rake that offers the well-proven Swadro technology. The tandem axle on these models serves also as transport chassis.

          KRONE Easy-Line drive concept
          KRONE Easy-Line drive concept
          • A controlled material flow through the machine for best rakes
          • Boosted outputs from the forage wagon, baler or forager
          • No roping for maximum harvester performance

          ­The KRONE Easy-Line increases rotor rpm on the leading units by about 10% compared with the rear units, so the leading rotors present the material in a wider mat to the ones at the rear which rake it into fluffy and boxy swaths. The Easy Line driveline ensures the material doesn’t drop back on the ground once it has been picked up.

          Twin-rotor side delivery model

          • Variable work width
          • Hydraulic crop deflector adjustment
          • 13 tine arms per rotor

          Featuring as many as 13 tines, this KRONE 710/26 T twin-rotor side delivery rake not only offers excellent value for money but also the cleanest rakes. Swadro 710/26 T forms single and double swaths as well as two narrow swaths side by side.

          The trailed twin-rotor side delivery rakes

          • Individual rotor lift-out as an option for perfect rakes in corners
          • Extremely compact in transport thanks to a unique frame design

          The trailed KRONE Swadro TS side-delivery rakes work at widths between 6.20 m (20'4") and 7.40 m (24'3") presenting the crop in single and double swaths. The Twin version forms twin swaths as standard specification. As a result, the machine covers work widths between 6.92 m (22'8") and 8.20 m (26'11").

          The triple-rotor side delivery rake
          The triple-rotor side delivery rake
          • 9.70 m (31'10") work width for highest work rates
          • Electric work height control and height indicator
          • Hydraulic caster control for optimum road stability

          Raking nearly 20 metres into one double windrow, the KRONE Swadro TS 970 is the ideal match for a high-capacity precision-chop forage harvester. Offering stunning work rates of up to 10 ha/h, this machine is the performance booster in your harvest chain. A wide wheel base and Ackermann steering give this high-capacity rake an enormous agility and very easy shunting.
