The moment of impact: The roll pin shears off. This cuts the driveline and stops the disc, which jacks 15 mm (0.6") up a thread. This eliminates any risk of colliding and damaging the neighboring disc.

Less side thrust and less ground pressure – that's the immediate effect of DuoGrip with center of gravity suspension. These are the findings of field tests. In March 2006, the German agricultural magazine DLZ published a test that compared two suspension systems – lateral suspension (KRONE AM 283 CV) and center-of-gravity suspension (KRONE EasyCut 280 CV). The findings were that the KRONE central suspension or rather center-of-gravity suspension is clearly superior to lateral suspension. A measurably reduced side thrust also suggests reduced ground pressure in the field.

Impact damage protection is the standard - Safety is another important area of excellence. For example, EasyCut 9140 pivots through a 1.40 m (4'7") arc as the entire mower rather than just the cutterbar breaks back upon impact. Once the obstacle is passed, the unit returns automatically into its working position.

Adjust to conditions: These mowers feature a coil spring that sets the tripping force of the impact damage protection system so this triggers within seconds upon impact.

KRONE mower combinations are scientifically designed and fine-tuned to operator needs and comfort. For example, they provide the flexibility to cut awkward areas with one, two or all three mowers lowered into work. Like all CV conditioner mowers, the EasyCut 9140 CV combination features a 600 / 900 rpm mechanical gearbox that varies the conditioner speed. Optional deflector plates are available to allow wide spreading and faster wilting. KRONE mower combinations are specialist machines that are committed to quality and delivery.

Top-quality forage: The full-width and high-performance conditioner features pivoting V-type steel tines and steplessly adjustable baffle plates. Steel tines are extremely hard-wearing and lasting.

Cross conveyors boost efficiency. This specification is particularly beneficial in operations that do without windrowing, turning and tedding. Feeding the crop to the center of the machine for windrowing, the belts have proven equally well in hay and wet silage, where they enable easy pick-up by the following harvester. A triple mower system that uses only one cross conveyor in up-and-down operation will produce four windrows from a total working width of 17.40 m (57'1"). These four windrows total up to 11.50 m (37'9") and are ideal for further wilting and windrowing by a central four-rotor swather in one pass.

Firm grip on the crop: Nothing is left behind when the hydraulic cross conveyors start moving. These wide belts feature welded slats to feed huge masses of material in a smooth and continued flow to the center of the machine.

DuoGrip center of gravity suspension: The center of gravity suspension system guarantees a uniform ground pressure across the entire work width, easy pulling, great ground contour hugging as well as a large pivot range.
