Because hay and forage equipment is all we do — not

an afterthought — we understand our customers. We

know that they understand their business better than

anyone. So, when we set out to design equipment that

meets the unique needs of our customers better than

any other company in the industry, we start by asking

them what they need. As a privately held company, we

can do that because we don’t answer to shareholders

— we answer to our customers.

Krone creates machines for hay and forage growers

who want professional results from their machines.

Each and every component of our company has been

purpose-built to increase the production efficiency of

our customers.

Krone — from the machinery, to the parts, to the

people that stand behind them — engineered for

your performance.

About Krone® CONTENTS

At the heart of high-quality forage is a perfect, clean cut. Krone’s cutterbars deliver outstanding

performance both in short- and long-stemmed crops.

• SafeCut hubs shear a roll pin if an obstacle is hit, reducing the risk of damage.

• Quick change blades make changing blades quick and easy with a single tool.

• Fully welded cutterbar reduces risk of leaks and breaking.

• Large, low RPM idler gears generates less heat and decreases maintenance.

• Offset pinion gear drives individual mower discs.

• Skid shoes provide maximum wear protection to the cutterbar.

• SmartCut cutterbar increases the blade overlap.

All Krone Mowers CUTTERBAR FEATURES

The wedge-shaped, fully welded cutterbar produces perfect cuts even in the most difficult conditions. The discs do not extend beyond the cutterbar for maximum protection. The large double disc drive bearings withstand peak loads and provide more protection.

The SafeCut disc protection system is standard specification on EasyCut mowers. If the disc hits an obstacle, the roll pin shears and the disc spins up on the threaded drive shaft and out of the way of its neighboring discs, which continue spinning without damage.

Standard Quick Change blades make changing blades quick and easy with a single tool.

Krone has a comprehensive range of large square balers that offer various chamber dimensions. The

Krone BiG Pack models owe their success to innovations such as the unique MultiBale system, the

High Density Press (HDP) and the camless EasyFlow pick-up.

• The X-Cut knife sytem features a pull out knife bed for easy-to-change knives and chop length

selection.

• Camless EasyFlow pick-up has fewer parts, decreasing wear and increasing throughputs.

• BiG Pack 1270: MultiBale packs nine small bales into one large bale. The large bales can be cleared

quickly from the field and stacked, and the small bales can be easily handled at time of use.

• BiG Pack 1290 HDP: The High Density Press baling system and the longer bale chamber lead to an

increase in bale weight by up to 25% percent over traditional systems.

MaxFlow inside: The cut and feed rotor with wide feeding plates are made from hardened steel to enhance the crop flow, while keeping input power low.

The VFS from Krone produces rock solid, well-shaped bales, no matter the condition. This system operates with four packer rakes and one feeder rake, as well as a retainer. It feeds the material into the pre-compression chamber where it builds a flake. After this pre-compression chamber is packed with material, the feeder rake feeds the material into the baling chamber.

High density bales are achieved with Krone’s BiG Pack 1290 HDP. Featuring an extra long bale chamber, this baler delivers a new dimension of bale density. Bales produced by the HDP baler are up to 25% heavier than 3x4 bales from a standard large square baler.

All Krone BiG Packs are HighSpeed large square balers, which deliver up to 20% more throughput. This increase has been made feasible by two major modifications: an increase in throughput capacity of the VFS packer system and an increased number of plunger strokes.

27www.krone-na.com Balers

With the BiG Pack 1290 HDP II, achieve up to 70% higher throughputs and 10% higher bale density

over the existing BiG Pack HDP. To hold these higher density bales, a patented eight double-knotter

system was developed specifically for this baler. Pre-compressing the crop inside the feed chamber

maximizes bale chamber efficiency.

28 Krone Product Overview 2015

Balers BiG PACK 1290 HDP II

A. Perfect Knots All The TimeHolding extremely dense and well-shaped bales that are produced at high ground speeds is a challenge for the twine, especially when the crop has a high tendency to expand. Therefore, Krone developed a new, patented knotter system specifically for the BiG Pack 1290 HDP II. This system is made of eight slim double knotters so the individual strands of twine are exposed to minimum pull and can hold denser bales.

B. Boosting PTO SpeedThe new intermediate gearbox on the drawbar boosts the PTO speed to 1,180 rpm, maximizing the utilization of the flywheels inertia, as well as the overall baler performance.

C. Twine BoxesThe twine boxes fold hydraulically from the covenience of the cab for easy refill and access to service points. Each twine box on either side of the machine holds 27 balls of twine — holding enough twine to make it through long working days and make more than 800 bales without ever getting off the tractor.

D. Compressed Air CleaningThe air lines are directed at the heart of the knotter to keep the area free of debris for dependable operation, even in extreme conditions.

The mergers give users flexibility to merge the crop or lay it flat. This feature is fully controlled from the cab.

The Krone BiG M cab, with tinted windows and slim posts, offers a perfect view of all mowers. Also, its double floor leads to a significant reduction in noise. Powerful H3 work lights turn night into day.

The SafeCut disc protection system from Krone offers effective protection and peace of mind. Rather than transferring the shock load of the impact to the cutterbar, the system transfers the load to a roll pin, which shears as a result of the impact. Then the disc moves 0.6” up on a threaded drive pin and out of the way from neighboring discs.

Forage Harvesters BiG X SELF-PROPELLED FORAGE HARVESTER

VariStream: Achieving highest throughputs and a superior quality of chop requires innovative features such as six hydraulic pre-compression rollers, a massive chopping cylinder and the VariStream crop flow system. Consisting of a spring-loaded floor beneath the chopping cylinder and a spring-loaded plate behind the crop accelerator, VariStream ensures blockage free and smooth operation, even when the flow of crop is not uniform.

Cutting 8, 10, 12 or 14 rows, the EasyCollect corn heads feature an intake system with endless collectors that feed the crop stem first to the chopping assembly. The EasyCollect corn heads make consistent chop lengths and require less horsepower to operate. Krone quality of chop starts at the head.

The camless pick-up on the EasyFlow 380 hay head increases throughput by up to 30%. Six rows of tines with a spacing of 2.2” ensures the crop is picked up cleanly, no matter the condition.

The PowerSplit technology adapts the engine output automatically to the current harvest conditions.
