Krone

Krone Big X

The Krone BiG X series forage harvesters are engineered for unmatched performance, precision, and comfort in high-output forage harvesting. Ranging from 687 to 1,156 horsepower, the BiG X 680 – 1180 models deliver powerful, low-emission performance and exceptional chop quality. A six-roller intake system ensures smooth, reliable crop flow, while MaxFlow chopping drums with up to 48 blades and the VariLOC system allow for flexible long or short chopping. VariStream spring-loaded floors maintain continuous crop flow, and the OptiMaxx roller conditioners (up to 305 mm in diameter and 710 mm wide) provide intensive kernel processing. The VariQuick system allows fast changeovers between using or bypassing the corn conditioner. Designed with an independent wheel suspension, these harvesters offer extreme manoeuvrability, and a height-adjustable comfort cab ensures excellent visibility and operator ease. Built for productivity and precision, the BiG X sets the standard for professional forage harvesting.
