Krone has introduced a new series of tedders. The Vendro range replaces the existing KW range and is made up of nine models – two four-rotor models (470 and 560), three six-rotor versions (620, 680 and 790), two eight-rotor tedders (820 and 900) and the 1020 and 1120 10-rotor units. The range covers working widths from 4.7m up to 11.2m.
Krone says the key feature the Vendro tedders is their close attachment to the tractor, which shifts more weight to the front axle and reduces transport length and lift requirement compared with the KW range.
The new range covers working widths from 4.7m up to 11.2m.
The tedders are fitted with either five, six or seven tine arms per rotor. Meanwhile, rotor diameters include: 470 (1.5m), 560 (1.8m), 620 (1.38m), 680 (1.5m), 790 (1.7m), 820 (1.38m), 900 (1.5m), 1020 (1.38m) and 1120 (1.5m).
Like the recently launched Highland models, the Vendro tedders feature the Krone OptiTurn rotors with patented OptiTurn tines that orbit closely to the rotor wheels. Krone says the redesigned rotors have their tines orbit 20cm closer than on the KW20 for exceptional contouring.
The sealed main gearbox is fitted with an integral overrunning clutch. The proven Krone Octo-Link clutches are also found on the new models. Krone says that unlike universal joints, these eight-finger clutches require no daily lubrication and establish frictional connections at any angle. The headland spreading curtain is lowered from the cab – either manually or hydraulically.

All 10-rotor tedders (optional on other models) feature a defined headland position which is set on the spool valve. Krone notes this saves time when travelling to the next field and eliminates tedding the headland twice. Standard spec on the 900, 1020 and 1120 models, (optional on other models) includes hydraulic damper struts for a more comfortable ride on the road, LED lights and storage stands.
