Round balers

Reduced wear costs yet optimized crop collection: EasyFlow is a camless pick-up that does without a cam track, offering obvious advantages over controlled system: A simple assembly uses fewer moving parts than controlled cam tracks and gives extremely quiet running, which in turn reduces wear and tear and ultimately service and maintenance and service costs. EasyFlow – a powerful system that leaves no stem behind.
|
|
Roller crop guard: The unit eliminates the risk of pushing up crop in uneven windrows. The machine operates at maximum pick-up and output levels while the crop is fl owing smoothly and consistently through the machine.
|
|
Massive augers: Massive augers feed the material from the sides to the middle of the machine, ensuring a smooth fl ow from the wide pick-up unit into the narrow bale chamber.
|
|
Closely spaced tines: Boasting fi ve rows of tines spaced 55 mm (2") apart, EasyFlow picks up even short stems. The defl ector plates are galvanized for ultimate durability.
|
|
Optimized design for an optimized crop flow - The EasyFlow pick-up forms a compact unit that comprises either a feed rotor or a cutting rotor. The clearance between rotor and baling chamber was increased and the rotor was arranged right behind the pick-up itself to increase the intake capacity and ensure a consistent fl ow even in short stems.

MultiCut The cutting-edge concept Controlled cutting results in a superior quality 64 mm (2.5") chops by the full set of 17 knives Central knife selection system quickly changes cutting lengths |
|
Perfect cuts: A maximum of 17 knives are narrowly spaced at 64 mm (2.5") to produce bales that are easy to break up and spread. The knives are arranged in one row for an excellent quality of cut.
|
|
Fully protected: The automatic ‘Non-Stop’ auto-reset system and the hydraulic 0-knife selection system are standard specifi cation. The hydraulic 0-knife selection is used to remove potential blockages from the feed channel.

The chain-and-slat elevator
A gripping system High baling densities Powerful bale roll Less fragmentation Low power input |
|
The ‘grippy’ system for straw, hay and silage bales: Round balers harvest straw, hay and wilted silage around the world in a wide variety of conditions that require full operational reliability. The chainand-slat elevators respond to these requirements and operate dependably in all these conditions. These elevators will deliver – gentle but firm on the material, with slats ‘meshing’ with the bale to provide positive rotation and maximum baling pressure.
|
| Longevity and high density: The heavy-duty chain-and-slat elevator runs on massive guide and drive rollers. The use of more chain links distributes the load more evenly and the use of massive rollers increases the angle at which the chains change direction, reducing the wear on the elevator, increasing its capacity and leading to smooth running. Individual chain links are easy to replace as required.

Variable chamber balers Fortima V 1500, V 1500 MC, V 1800, V 1800 MC Variable 1.00 m to 1.50 m (3'3" to 4'11") or 1.00 m to 1.80 m (3'3" to 5'11") diameter bales Two separate and endless elevators give dependable operation in the most difficult conditions A heavy-duty design that copes with very heavy material |
|
A combined grip on the bale: chain-and-slat elevators, one operating at the front end and the other at the rear to develop high baling pressures and produce perfectly shaped bales.
|
|
Stunning simplicity: As more and more material enters the bale chamber, the two chain elevators press layer by layer to form tight and well-shaped round bales. The slats mesh with the crop to provide positive bale rotation at any stage of the baling cycle. The baling pressure is supplied by a hydraulic ram that actuates the tensioners at the front and rear ends. As soon as the bale has reached its preset diameter, twine or net wrapping is triggered. As a last step, the tailgate opens and the bale is ejected.    |

Small-diameter bales: Small diameters are typically required in silage applications, because small bales are easier to handle, break up and feed. The 1.00 - 1.30 m (3'3" - 4'3") diameter bales produced by Fortima V 1500 suit most wrappers perfectly.
|
|
Large-diameter bales: Large-diameter bales are often preferred in straw and hay as they offer better efficiency, save wrapping material and reduce labour costs.
|
|
The revolution in twine wrapping
A KRONE exclusive Quadruple twine wrapping Shortest tying cycles, shorter than cycles using twin twine More bales per hour Less fuel and less labour cost |
|
Four threads bring four-fold quality - QuattroSpeed is the new KRONE tying system that provides considerable cuts in tying times over the existing twin twine tying system. Simple by design, KRONE QuattroSpeed is an extremely dependable system, which ensures good overlap and multiple wraps along the edges. QuattroSpeed translates into well-shaped bales and maximum density at minimum costs.
|
|
Perfect twine guidance: A coned pulley controls the number of twine wraps applied per cycle. Two guide blocks are used to distrubute the four threads uniformly across the full width of the bale. As the wrap cycle starts, the threads run over the rubber wheel and the pressure roller into the bale chamber, where they are picked up by the rotating bale.
|
|
Perfect bales every time: Four threads ( 1 - 4 ) tie the bale a number of times, applying extra twine along the edges depending on the settings. QuattroSpeed ensures the bales keep in shape as they are handled several times over.
|
|
Perfect wraps for perfect bales

|
Less fuel per bale - Fortima’s net wrap system is straight forward by design and offers superior functionality. The advantage of net wrapping is that it is faster than twine wrapping and helps you produce more bales per hour. Higher throughputs free up valuable time that can be spent on other jobs and cut the tractor’s fuel consumption per bale. The net wrap system accepts rolls with a total net length of up to 3,600 m (11,811 ft).
|
|
For long working days: The large storage compartment holds three net rolls and protects them from rain. The rolls may provide up to 3,600 m (11,811 ft) of netting and are secured by a retainer.
|
|
Easy fitting: Fitting the rolls or balls is easy and convenient from the ground. To replace an empty net roll, simply swing out the dispenser arm and slide the fresh roll onto it. Then the net is fed nto the net wrap system.

More comfort, less fatigue
High operator comfort from a graphical user interface Clear design Compact size |
|
The control center: This is the all-important box: The job processor records all sensor pulses and sends them on to the control unit as well as triggers automatic wrapping.
|
|
The Beta terminal: The Beta terminal offers icon based navigation and shows the current bale diameter or density, triggers the wrapping cycle either automatically or manually, sets and controls the number of wraps and shows bale counts as well as retrieves valve and sensor functions.
|
|
The CCI 200 terminal: The CCI terminal offers all functions that are available from the Beta terminal plus compatability with ISOBUS implements of other makes. The colour touchscreen, high-quality controls, a shut-off key that stops all current electric functions as well as inputs for an extra joystick (AUX) and a CCTV camera provide a very high standard in operator comfort.
|
|
TIM: The optional TIM Tractor Implement Management system automates all processes and takes strain off the operator, stopping the tractor the moment twine/net/film wrapping starts and controling the rear door. TIM is based on the KRONE Comfort electronic specification and requires a number of extra sensors as well as a TIM compatible tractor.
