• HDP II: Up to 70% higher throughput or up to 10% higher bale densities than from the HDP HighSpeed

• Chamber sizes from 80 x 70 cm to 120 x 130 cm

• VFS along with electronic baling pressure control for even bale densities

• X-Cut and VariCut cutting systems and PreChop for short cutting lengths

• Well-proven KRONE knotters for high-density and well-shaped bales

• MultiBale system packs up to nine small bales in one single big pack

• BaleCollect accumulator runs behind the baler collecting the finished bales as they leave the baler for greater harvest efficiencies and reduced field traffic

• One step ahead – with a KRONE BiG Pack. Whether you are making heavier, rock-hard bales with the BiG Pack HDP II or tying up to nine small bales neatly into one big bale with the MultiBale system, you’ll always be ahead of the field, using first-time innovations you won’t find anywhere else.

BiG Pack 1290 (XC) HighSpeed: These solid 1.20 m wide and 90 cm high bales are popular with farmers the world over. With its massive bale dimensions, this machine is mainly in demand for straw and hay, but it also handles silage successfully in some countries.

• Cleanest sweeps: from a more effective pick-up with a powered feed roller

• Powered feed roller for superior performance even in brittle material

• Smoother running thanks to camless design

• Less wear with 68% fewer moving parts

• Maintenance-free and long-lasting

KRONE Active Pick-up – a clever combination of the tried-and-trusted camless EasyFlow Pick-up plus an additional powered feed roller. The speciality of this pick-up is the design of the galvanized scrapers, which ensure a continuous and smooth crop flow as the tines retract. EasyFlow can work 30% faster – allowing for faster forward speeds and higher throughputs.

Working at a width of 1.95 or 2.35 m (DIN 11220) and kitted out with five rows of tines spaced 55 mm apart, the camless EasyFlow Pick-up does a clean job every time. The combination of the powered feed roller and the side-mounted augers tick all the boxes in dry, brittle material, delivering massively increased throughputs.

Gentle on the sward: The pneumatic caster wheels follow every curve and are height-adjustable without tools. The sward is even protected on curves, thanks to their excellent castering behaviour.

Full throttle: The cutting and VFS rotor is driven directly off the main gearbox. Overload protection is provided by the integrated cam clutch. The HDP II is driven via a selectable poly V-belt.

The XCut cutting system has two blade cassettes which lower hydraulically for convenient access. Each cassette pulls out to the side like a drawer.

Maximum protection: All blades feature individual spring protection for trouble- free operation when foreign objects are picked up. The blades conveniently push back into their working position after the foreign body has cleared.

• Up to 51 blades

• Variable blade control system

• Belt drive and four-star rotor for maximum efficiency

• Produces top quality short straw

• Easy and convenient to maintain
