Kverneland Taarup 8460 and 8480 are purpose build for hay making. Both models come with a strong package of features such as standard vibration dampers, strong V-shaped central unit and central adjustment for border tedding. They offer considerable operation capabilities with their combination of 6/8 rotors and 6.05/8.05m working width. The small roors are especially designed for optimized performance while producing dry hay.

The Advantages:

• Low maintenance CompactLine gearbox with only one grease nipple.
• Compact tedders with low weight and power requirements.
• Standard fitted with vibration dampers and strong central unit.
• HexaLink driveline on 8480 ensures compact folding.
• Rotor plate dimension of 500m
• Double bearings from pinion to crown wheel guarantee maximum longevity of the driveline.
• Super-C tines with large spring coil diameter for added service life.
• Easy setting of spreading angle through simple three-way adjustment of wheel height.

Large Dimensions

• The box type frame of the Kverneland Taarup 8000 series is an extremely solid construction. It is composed of two U-sections fitted into each other and securely welded together. The frame is totally enclosed at the top for maximum strength.
• All tedders have greasable pivoting points with an extra large diameter, making it a very strong and reliable construction.
• Made from flat steel, the tine arms form a very compact unit with the rotor plate. This makes the tedders by far more resistant to any type of load.

HexaLink Finger Clutch

Kverneland 8480 wit Compact Transport Width

• Despite its´ 8.00m working width the Kverneland 8480 will fold into a very compact unit for transport, and will go below 3.00m transport width.
• The two outer rotors are fitted with the new HexaLink finger clutch, a simple yet efficient drive system that permits these rotors to turn into a 180⁰ position for transport. The remaining rotors are driven by double universals joint, providing sturdy and efficient transfer of power

Spreading Angle

• High-quality forage allows the optimum spreading angle to be achieved according to crop conditions, helping you to produce high quality forage.
• Setting the rotors to the right spreading angle will considerably improve the spreading action, and speed up the drying process.
• The mower swaths are neatly lifted by the tines and evenly spread over the full width.
• Tines glide in a more uniform frequency over the stubble, so the risk of dirt being lifted by the tines is minimized.

Super-C Tines

• The Super-C tine can be locked in three positions to customize the pickup angle to different conditions. For heavy silages the angle can be set more aggressive and for fragile crop a gentler angle can be chosen.
• Made from flat steel, the tine arms form a very compact unit with the rotor plate and utilize the force of the rotor plate for higher durability of the time arm. This makes a Kverneland tine arm by far more resistant to any type of load.
• Super-C tine with symmetric spring tines ensures efficient pick-up and turning of the crop. Tines with same lengths has the added advantage that load is spread evenly on both tines, providing longer life time.
• Made from 10mm shot-peened spring steel and a coil diameter of 80mm, Super-C tines add up to the most durable and flexible tine in the market.
