Smooth and precision-driven Vendro C 1340 - the key to even spreading and efficient drying!
This trailed tedder with 12 rotors and a 13.40 m working width provides maximum comfort for the operator, effectively accelerates the drying process, and delivers high-quality forage. It is perfectly suited for forage where achieving a higher dry matter content is desired or when there is a need to quickly dry wet forage before the next rain arrives. The V-shaped and compact frame brings the machine's center of gravity very close to the tractor, which significantly reduces the need for lifting so that the machine can be used even with smaller tractors. At the same time, less weight is taken from the front axle and the steering is not affected.

Even drying and improved forage quality
As the harvesting window narrows, achieving optimal dry matter becomes challenging. KRONE's innovative OptiTurn rotors and 3D tines offer a unique solution with their three-dimensional shape, ensuring even and wide spreading that accelerates drying - improved water evaporation, increased air circulation, and superior forage quality. Reduce supplementary feeding, prevent feeding stress, and enhance animal health.
Adjust spreading angle to suit conditions
Whether it's silage in spring or hay in summer, different spreading angles are crucial for desired results. The Vendro hay tedder offers high processing for quick silage drying and gentle turning for hay. The angle is adjusted without tools - choose flat spreading (13° and 15°) for even hay distribution, or steep angles (17° and 19°) for optimal drying. The results are uniform drying and homogeneous distribution of dry material in your forage.
Timing is crucial in a narrow harvest window to save costs!
Being able to start tedding hay quickly when the weather allows is essential to avoid losses. With the Vendro, you're always prepared with minimal setup time, and maintenance is easy with just a few lubrication points. Krone's rotor gearbox also provides high reliability and stability, allowing you to work undisturbed during the forage season, save costs, and achieve high reliability.
Even drying with ground-following rotors
The OptiTurn rotor design is a crucial and specific feature of Krone's tedders. The unique design allows the rotors to generously overlap each other, and the OptiTurn tines can lift and evenly spread the crop with an optimal width for the best possible drying. The rotor arms are securely bolted to the rotors with an additional plate under the tine arm, providing a robust construction capable of handling large volumes of grass. Underneath each rotor, the rotor wheels with large tires are positioned extremely close to the rotor, ensuring optimal ground following without the risk of contaminants in the forage.
Flexible and robust transport chassi
The transport chassis of the Vendro C 1120 features a robust and simple design. The drawbar is pivoting, and several different coupling options are available. During field work, the majority of the weight rests behind the tedder's wheel axle, which is compensated by a draw spring to avoid negative weight on the drawbar (= lifting force on the tractor). Even a very light tractor can be used as the operation of the machine becomes stable and safe.
Automated folding and unfolding of the side sections
The folding and unfolding of the side sections are done hydraulically and automatically, ensuring safety and reliability as the sections cannot collide with each other! During fieldwork, the machine's weight is distributed from the transport wheels to the rotor wheels. For turning, the rotors are hydraulically lifted to ensure safe maneuvering. The chassis features a telescopic support leg for easy parking/storage. For turning close to boundaries, a deflector curtain is used to prevent grass from being thrown over the boundary, road, etc.
Work height control
Work height on Vendro C 1120 is adjusted mechanically or hydraulically as an option. This is done on one crank that sets the height for all tines simultaneously. This way, you can easily adjust the height to varying conditions.
Hydraulic suspension for the transport axle
On the Vendro C 1120 hydraulic suspension of the running gear is an option, on the Vendro C 1120 Plus it is standard specification. In this specification, the lift-out ram takes off weight from the transport axle when the machine is in working position, thereby shifting weight to the rotors and the headstock and effectively avoiding the transport wheels scuffing the valuable sward. They continue serving effectively as gauge wheels.
Shifting load
The Vendro C 1120 Plus features a three-point headstock as standard specification and a coil spring that shifts the load when approaching the headland and raising the rotors, thereby cutting out the risk of negative tongue load – an important detail when operating small or light-weight tractors.
Smoother and more even spread with OptiTurn tines
The curved 3D tines with a thickness of 9.5 mm lift and toss the material to achieve clean and high-quality feed with even dry matter. The tines are attached with an eccentric plate allowing adjustment of the tine angle in three positions for optimal results in varying crops and terrain. To not miss any forage in the field, the tines are unevenly long in a pair, keeping them parallel above the ground, contributing to uniform wilting and optimal work quality in the new 3D tine system.
Designed to assist with the drying process
The OptiTurn fingers generously overlap to lift the crop without contamination and distribute it evenly. With the right spreading angle, the optimal width for quick drying and good feed quality can be achieved. Close to the rotors, support wheels are positioned to ensure optimal ground contour following and prevent feed contamination. This technique enhances productivity not only in the field but also in the milking parlor.
Reliable gearboxes for higher safety and longevity
The rotor gearboxes are mounted beneath the robust frame, where they are shielded from the strains of work and operation. They are both maintenance-free and lubricated with liquid grease, ensuring extended lifespan and trouble-free operations. Additionally, the gearboxes are independent of the frame, eliminating concerns about leaks, even in the toughest terrain.
Optimized reliability with OctoLink
The reliable OctoLink finger couplings are used in all Krone teddes. Each rotor is driven by a proven finger coupling with eight fingers, creating a strong and dependable connection within the driveline. Regardless of the angle, the power flow to the next rotor remains uninterrupted. The extremely robust finger couplings are completely lubrication-free, allowing you to save time on maintenance, increase productivity, and save money.
Maintenance-free and protected driveline saves fuel
OctoLink couplings ensure seamless operation without the risk of driveline damage due to operator errors. The coupling isn't damaged if the driver accidentally forgets to disengage it when folding the machine! With eight fingers creating couplings, the driveline to the rotors is never broken, ensuring uninterrupted power transmission. The OctoLink coupling allows for low power losses in the driveline, resulting in fuel-efficient use. Take advantage of a maintenance-free driveline that minimizes service and maintenance requirements while maximizing its lifespan.
Border spreading with curtain
The Vendro C 1120 offers an option for border spreading. A hydraulically controlled curtain restricts the spreading range and prevents spillage that can occur when working along field edges, roads, etc.
Anti-wrap guards for smoother workflow (option)
KRONE tedders come equipped with anti-wrap guards as standard, preventing long-stem crops from getting caught around wheels and support legs. This minimizes unnecessary stops and ensures a smooth and efficient workflow. For enhanced effectiveness, the anti-wrap guards can be supplemented with additional plates, providing extra protection and uninterrupted operation.
