Heavy Duty Centre Swath Rakes

The Kverneland Taarup 9580 C, 9584 C and 9590 C Hydro are heavy duty two-rotor rakes with working widths up to 8.0, 8.4 and 9.0m respectively. They are designed for the toughest conditions and feature a high performance oil-bath gearbox and a strong carrier frame. The hydraulically adjustable working and swath width and ability to make sharp turns of up to 80° are important features of these rakes.

Due to the Hydro axle Kverneland Taarup 9590 C Hydro has a transport height of less than 4.0m, even without detaching the tine arms.

The Kerneland 9580 C with newly designed wheel axles provide a transport width below 4m, even with tine arms mounted.

The Advantages:

• Working widths of 8.0, 8.4 and 9.0m.
• ProLine oilbath gearbox.
• TerraLink Quattro for perfect ground followings.
• Hydraulically adjustable working width.
• Active wheel steering with 80° turning angle for easy manoeuvrability.

ProLine Gearbox

• The ProLine rakes feature a unique drive system which comprises oil-immersed pinion and crown wheels.
• The fully enclosed design ensures full and permanent lubrication, and makes the entire system absolutely maintenance-free.
• The hardened cam track is adjustable, and features a flat curve and an extremely large 400mm diameter, providing positive guidance to the steel rollers, and promoting quiet machine running.
• Aluminium bearing housings, with two integral ball bearings and wide support, provide solid and maintenance-free tine arm mounting.

Manoueuvrability

• The rear carrier frame with controlled steering facility allows tight turns on headlands and loss free swathing, even in awkwardly shaped fields.
• Even if the rotors are lifted on a steep slope, the steering system reliably counteracts any deviation.
• The ability to make sharp turns up to 80° and the cross stabilizer in the headstock are unique Kverneland features.

TerraLink Quattro

• Kverneland rotary rakes are designed to do well-shaped and clean swaths, achieved by precision in every part of the raking.
• The ground contour following ability is important to avoid dirt in the swath – especially in uneven field conditions.
• The TerraLink Quattro system controls the rotor in 3 dimensions, with a unique combination of an undercarriage with 4 wheels and a specially designed rotor suspension system. This ensures superb raking performance, even at higher forward speeds.
• Maintenance-free system – no pivots or joints to wear out.
• Automatic rotor suspension, ensuring smooth operation.
• Built-in pressure bias on front wheels prevents lifting and tine bounce.
• Optimum ground following for clean raking at high forward speeds. All wheels are positioned close to the tines.

Hydraulically Adjustable Working Width

• The Kverneland Taarup centre swath rakes offer hydraulic adjustable working width.
• This enables varying swath width, ensuring a perfect match to the pick up width of loader wagons, balers and foragers.
