KNOWLEDGE LOADING,

KNOWLEDGE LOADING, RAKING, WRAPPING INNOVATIONS FOR 2022 Krone has added several new products to its range for the 2022 season. We present three of them in this issue of XtraBlatt THE GX GENERAL-PURPOSE WAGON JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES WITH A WORLD-FIRST FEATURE The GX impresses by its versatility and exceptionally gentle yet speedy unloading. Available in 44m³ and 52m³ sizes, the GX 440 has a tandem axle whereas the GX 520 runs on a tridem setup; all come with an ISOBUS-compatible control unit. A robust fabric belt, two chains and the plexiglass headboard constitute the unloading unit which is powered by two hydraulic motors. As soon as the GX is in position, the chains pull the floor belt and the headboard towards the tailgate. A world first in this context is the Krone ExactUnload feature. For example, to set up a fresh clamp, the operator simply enters the desired length to the console. After that, the GX controls the unloading rate automatically and relative to the forward speed of the tractor. When the GX arrives at the end of the pre-set length, it is completely empty. By default, the floor moves at a rate of eight metres per minute, and this can be doubled in fast mode. Thus, the GX 440 is cleared out in approximately 40 seconds. The GX also scores high marks for its exceptionally low kerb weight. It can increase its volume by telescoping the extensions hydraulically by another up to 700mm. Very practical indeed are also the rubber strips that seal the side walls, preventing any losses when hauling fine bulk materials such as grain or rape. SWADRO S 380, S 420 AND S 460 SINGLE ROTOR RAKES MORE OPERATOR COMFORT, MORE PERFORMANCE For the new season, Krone is adding three new single-rotor rakes to its range – the Swadro S 380, S 420 and S 460. What they all have in common is the compact headstock that couples to a three-point rear linkage. This reduces the load on the front axle by up to 10% compared to other trailed designs, translating into less power required for lifting so that even smaller lightweight tractors can take on swathing. The swathing EASYWRAP 165 T BALE WRAPPER ONE FOR THE PROFESSIONALS The new, trailed and two-arm EasyWrap 165 T wrapper wraps bales with diameters from 1.00 to 1.65 metres. A high-performance satellite arm wrapper, it effortlessly picks up and processes up to 1,650kg bales and the wrapping arm orbits at impressive speeds of up to 40rpm. The drawbar swivels hydraulically and can carry ten additional rolls of film as an option. The 750mm film offers 55% or 70% prestretch according to user preference. After the number of wraps and bale size are set on the terminal, the rest is calculated automatically. At the end of the wrapping curtains are folded and adjusted conveniently, the rotor height is controlled with down to the millimetre precision, and the tine arms are folding with gap- and wearfree connections. The flexible connection between the main frame and the headstock is provided by a ball joint and roller in a slotted hole thereby implementing the Krone Jet Effect which prevents the tines from damaging the sward when raising / lowering on the headland. cycle, the film is cut and fixed in one smooth movement while a special mechanism traps the end of the roll; there are no annoying, loose film ends when working with the EasyWrap. An optional bale turner is available for the EasyWrap 165 T and is triggered from the cab at the touch of a button. The entire wrapping process – from picking up the bale to unloading it – can run fully automatically so operators can concentrate on driving. Another practical feature is the auto-centring mechanism when lifting the rake. The tracking mechanism with balancing arm leads to quiet and controlled tracking behind the tractor as well as tightest headland turns and clean rakes in corners. All new rakes have maintenance-free drivelines with overrunning clutches, so Swadro can coast smoothly on tractors with electronic/ hydraulic pto brakes. 46 47
