Self-loading and forager-filled forage wagons AX

• Camless pick-up for very quiet running and hard wearing
• Tines in W-arrangement for optimum crop flow
• Wide and large-diameter rotor for high intake rates
• Central blade group control system for 0, 16, 16, 32 blades
• Sloping floor enhances crop feed efficiencies
• Articulated drawbar for high ground clearance
• Drawbar suspension for comfortable rides
• Sprung or unsprung tandem axles with hydraulic levelling system
• ISOBUS compatible

AX defines the KRONE range of forage wagons that offer capacities from 25 m³ to 31 m³ and which are available with different extensions that give users the flexibility to use them as self-loading forage wagons with and without discharge rollers but also as silage trailers in the maize harvest chain. AX suggests maximum reliability, efficiency and flexibility.

AX extensions

• Collapsible folding grid are ideal in low buildings
• Sturdy all-steel body with upper tensioning ropes ensuring nothing is lost during transport
• Silage extensions with headboard hatch and no ropes for use as a silage trailer

The large choice of available extensions makes the ­KRONE AX a universal loading and forage transport wagon. Collapsible hay extensions allow the AX to enter low buildings or pass under low gates whereas steel extensions give it a head start as a self-loading forage wagon. But it can also take silage extensions including the headboard hatch, which make it the perfect dual-use forage wagon / silage trailer.

Suspension system, drawbar and running gear

• Bottom- or top-mount drawbar
• Articulated drawbar for high ground clearance
• Drawbar suspension for comfortable rides
• Sprung or unsprung tandem axles with hydraulic levelling system

Varying harvest conditions, difficult situations on the clamp, high payloads, and longdistance travel at speed call for a running gear and a drawbar that offer maximum strength and stability as well as superior operator comfort and safety. Choose between the top-mounting hitch ring, the bottom-mount pivoting drawbar, the ball hitch or the articulated drawbar. This and the caster-steer tandem axles with either mechanical or hydraulic suspension allow you to specify your machine to your individual needs.

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up

• Wide pick-up for clean and comprehensive gathering
• Camless pick-up for very quiet running and hard wearing
• Tines in W-arrangement for optimum crop flow
• Optimum ground contouring by gauge wheels and side pivot

The camless EasyFlow pick-up has only few moving parts and therefore runs extremely quietly, causing little wear. Boasting a wide work width, it gathers wide swaths tidily also in bends. Undulations are no problem at all, thanks to the pivoting suspension along with the gauge wheels.

• Wide and large-diameter rotor for high intake rates
• Helical tine arrangement for quiet running
• Easy pulling blades for exact and scissor-like cuts

Powerful and low-maintenance, the AX rotor cutter operates very smoothly and gently. The blades give exact cuts, stay sharp for a long time and are very easy to replace.

The load area

• Wide and sturdy channel-steel frame
• Sloping scraper conveyor enhances crop feed efficiencies
• Strong scraper conveyor chain and infinitely variable advance speed
• Discharge rollers with V-shaped tines distribute the material uniformly
• The optional cross conveyor belt unloads fresh forage directly on to the feed passage

The sloping floor on AX increases its throughput rates and minimizes tractor input. The extremely robust chain-and-slat floor offers stepless adjustment of its advancing speed, a feature that has been asked for by many farmers.

The KRONE automatic loading system

• Automatic loading system for advance control of scraper conveyor supply
• Shuts off the scraper conveyor stop automatically on machines with discharge rollers
• PowerLoad auto loading system for loading and forage transport wagons with steel extensions

Regardless of whether your AX loading and forage transport wagon is fitted with the basic or optional PowerLoad automatic loading system, both systems ensure the wagon is filled to capacity whilst compressing crops to an optimum level. With the wagon filled to capacity in each haul, you are cutting down on your transport costs.

The KRONE on-board electronic system & operating terminals

• Clear and convenient
• Easy and user friendly
• ISOBUS compatible

The KRONE on-board electronic system clearly enhances the operation of the AX forage
wagon. Available in Medium and Comfort specification, the system is operated from
various terminals, each catering for different applications and needs.
