Developed for Australian and American farms who use it to couple two trailed mowers to the same tractor, the EasyCut TC Connect coupling frame allows up to 13.08m of material to be knocked down in a single pass.
Developed for Krone’s EasyCut TC 400 and TC 500, when the TC 400 is matched to the company’s F320 CV/CR front mower, the working width of the combination is 10.3m. This increases to 10.7m with a F360 CV/CR and 11.1m with the F400 CV Fold.
Suitable for Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF), the cutting width of the EasyCut TC500/F 320 CV/CR is 12.2m. Wider widths are also available, namely 12.6m with an F 360 CV/CR and 13.08m (40cm overlap each side) with an F 400 CV Fold.
Said to be particularly beneficial in sensitive crops, such as alfalfa, Krone says Australian and American farmers often operate the front-mounted EasyCut F 400 CV Fold together with two EasyCut TC 400 rear mowers, producing three identical swaths for uniform wilting. Each model can also operate as a solo machine.
The TC Connect is not something that will be available in Europe just yet, but CTF popularity is increasing so we would not be surprised to see it added to the price list within the next few years.
