New Tedder Delivers Smooth Hay Handling and Fast Performance
Krone’s Vendro 680 DB tedder features spinners up to 60 feet wide, making it perfect for large-scale hay operations.
It is designed to reduce tedding time and fit different mowing systems.
One of its standout features is hydraulic control, making it easier to operate. All hydraulic controls are clearly identified, helping users connect everything quickly and safely.
A unique highlight of the Vendro 680 DB is its rear wheel setup. These wheels help reduce strain on the smaller tires when tractors move at higher speeds down the road.
“As today's tractors go faster and faster as we're moving down the highway, [these tires] take the strain and the stress off of these smaller diameter tires that are not really highway tires,” Brent Raines, product specialist with Krone, told Farms.com.
The tedder also includes a hydraulic boundary spread feature. This allows farmers to adjust the wheels from inside the tractor, enabling all six wheels to follow the tractor’s movement. This technique, often referred to as dog tracking, helps in directing the crop away from obstacles like ponds, fences, or roads.
The Tedder arm profiles and tines are also updated. The curved design of the tines helps lift and toss even the wettest crop farthest away, improving overall drying efficiency.
This design evenly spreads the hay across the field, reducing moisture and increasing drying speed.
Historically, tedders were mostly used during emergencies like unexpected rainfall. But now, farmers are making them a regular part of hay production, says Raines.
Whether you need a 3-point, pull-type, or a large tedder up to 60 feet, Krone's Vendro 680 DB offers a reliable solution.
