KRONE receives silver AGRITECHNICA Innovation Award for KRONE OptiSet

Silver for a world first: Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG has been honoured with the prestigious AGRITECHNICA Innovation Award for the development of the KRONE OptiSet system on the Vendro rotary tedder. The jury honoured a practical solution that enables the spreading angle to be adjusted centrally, synchronously and steplessly from the cabin for the first time.

With the KRONE OptiSet, KRONE has developed pioneering technology for forage recovery. The spreading angle of all rotors can be conveniently adapted from the driver's seat at the touch of a button – quickly, ergonomically and efficiently. This previously had to be completed manually on each individual rotor with a great deal of effort, but can now be completed centrally in seconds. This allows farmers and contractors to optimise their machines to changing harvesting conditions at any time.

The benefits are evident: More frequent spreading angle adjustments ensure a higher forage quality, reduce rolling losses and help to make the best possible use of short harvest periods. At the same time, the system increases operator comfort and opens up prospects for autonomous use in the future.
"Receiving the award at AGRITECHNICA is a great honour and confirms our claim to provide farmers and contractors with practical innovations," explains Jan Horstmann, Managing Director of Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG. 

The Vendro series offers working widths from 4.70 m to 13.40 m and up to twelve rotors. It impresses with numerous innovative details such as OptiTurn tines, maintenance-free OctoLink eight-finger couplings, a compact V-frame, as well as precise and robust guide wheels for maximum efficiency and forage quality in the field.
