Improved yield and higher feed quality
Getting a rapid regrowth of the forage after the first cut is crucial for achieving a substantial second and, hopefully, third cut. While weather plays a significant role, the performance of the mower conditioner is equally vital. It's important to have a mower conditioner that provides clean cuts instead of tearing, which can damage the surface and hinder the forage's ability to recover. With Krone's SmartCut technology, grass is cut with a larger overlap, and changing blades is quick, resulting in clean cuts and higher yields.
Let technology assist you in achieving top-notch forage!
Spotting all the obstacles hiding in the forage can be challenging. That's why this machine is equipped with collision protection called SafeCut, which shields the machine from damage caused by rocks or branches. The integrated support arm protection reacts swiftly, halting affected cutter discs to minimize downtime and get back to work promptly. This system can save you costly and time-consuming repairs, especially when timing is crucial to getting top value for your feed.
Leak-proof and robust cutterbar for minimal maintenance
Krone's EasyCut machines require minimal maintenance thanks to their lifetime lubrication, durable construction, and large gears designed to minimize wear. This reduces both the time and cost of maintenance while ensuring the mower conditioner lasts longer. In the Farmers First Maintenance App, you'll find ready-made maintenance plans that help reduce downtime, extend the machine's lifespan, and improve its resale value.
Greater efficiency for larger fields!
The mower-conditioner combination, paired with a front-mounted machine, is the perfect match for larger fields where saving time and streamlining operations are crucial. With a Collect system that creates a single swath directly, allowing you to mow, crush, and swath simultaneously, reducing the number of passes. This model also features DuoGrip, enabling the mower to closely follow the contours of the ground while protecting the forage, ensuring high-quality feed even in challenging conditions.
Maximum regrowth with gentle cutterbar
In order for the pasture to recover and grow rapidly after the first cut, a gentle initial mowing is required. The Krone cutterbar is the heart of the machines and is built to last, with a robust welded construction and permanent lubrication. Its massive gears impress with quiet and reliable operation under continuous load, contributing to superior cutting quality and maximum longevity.
Simple and fast blade changes
The key to clean cuts is quality blades, which is why Krone has developed a blade change system that is both simple and fast. This ensures that you can always achieve results with clean cuts in the field, promoting healthy and rapid regrowth. When it's quick to change the blades, it becomes easier to do so as often as needed, ensuring optimal performance of the mower.
Safe field cutting and quick field repairs with SafeCut
Avoiding stones and branches hidden in the field can be challenging. That's why Krone equips its mowers with the SafeCut system, safeguarding your machine from unexpected obstacles, reducing downtime, and repair needs. SafeCut's unique features, such as pins that release under overload and self-lifting discs, prevent chain reactions and simplify on-field repairs. With this collision-resistant design and wear-resistant components, Krone's SafeCut system ensures a secure forage harvest.
Optimal performance and ground following, even on rocky fields!
The slidig skids are mounted under the mower bar, ensuring smooth forage flow while protecting the grass surface. Made from hardened steel, they are durable and help maintain the mower bar's parallel alignment with the ground, ensuring exceptional cutting precision. Various sliding skid options are available for different terrains or cutting heights, including wear plates and those suitable for high-cutting situations. The sliding skids provide the reliability needed for achieving optimal performance and ground-following capabilities in your mowing operations.
Enhanced forage efficiency with SmartCut
Experience optimized forage flow and seamless overlapping with the SmartCut technology. Our flying knife cut and increased disc overlap guarantee top-notch cutting quality. The eccentric drive allows versatile rotation options—swathing for center-focused rotation (A) or wide spreading with discs turning in pairs (B). These machines come with a standard spare blade drawer. The wedge-shaped cutterbar ensures adaptable settings for short or long stubble, providing reliable performance and a clean cut for diverse crops.
High productivity and outstanding conditioning with CV rollers
The CV rotor, with V-shaped and grippy steel tines, ensures even distribution of the crop across the entire working width. Its robust Ø64 cm and spiral tooth arrangement guarantee uninterrupted crop flow, high productivity, and outstanding conditioning. The V-tines are made of hardened steel and mounted at a steep angle, providing intensive and powerful forage treatment. The tines pivot rearward upon encountering foreign objects, while forward pivoting is restricted to extend the pin's service life.
Efficient and gentle forage processing with the CR Crusher
The CR crusher features two PU coated steel rollers for gentle yet efficient crop processing. The crusher rollers are 25 cm in diameter and have a profiled surface for maximum crop throughput. The CR crusher is suitable for more delicate crops where gentle processing is desired. The processed crop is spread out evenly after crushing, and the drying of the harvested crop is accelerated.
Flexible mowing with adjustable drawbar springs
The EasyCut R-models are equipped with adjustable drawbar springs that enable offset positioning behind the tractor. This allows for cutting at full width on any track width, even on side slopes, and in combination with a front mower.
Efficient handling of large harvest volumes!
The Collect System with swath mats combines the crop flow from two machines into a single centrally located swath in the middle. It allows for adjustable swath width by continuously adjusting the mat speed or with adjustable accelerator rollers (optional). The swath mats are powered by their own built-in hydraulic system and also have a hydraulic oil cooling system. The swath mats can be engaged and disengaged separately, and the contoured deflector plates ensure a smooth transfer of the crop without losses. The extra-wide swath mats, measuring 91 cm, handle large quantities of crop with ease and allow for easy adaptation to the following machine.
Efficient handling of large harvest volumes!
EasyCut B Collect is a highly compact mower combination without the conditioning function but with string augers. The hoods above and behind the augers can be opened and closed hydraulically from the driver's seat for convenient selection of one of the three swathing modes: single large swath with both hoods closed, or unilateral swathing from either side with the respective hood closed/open to suit the subsequent machine in the forage chain. With both swath hoods open, the combination spreads widely.
Designed to last a long time!
This mower-crusher combination is designed to be both powerful and durable. It is powered by a 1,000 rpm power take-off and features a robust main gearbox that distributes power to two power take-off shafts. Additionally, the machine's driveline is protected by collision guards and freewheel clutches, providing safety and long-lasting use.
Ground protection and consistent cutting height technology!
With Krone's CombiFloat, an innovative hydropneumatic relief system supported by your tractor, you can now navigate challenging slopes and uneven terrains with precision. This actively driven system maintains a constant bearing pressure, ensuring optimal turf protection and consistent cutting height.
Hydraulic crop deflector
A hydraulic crop deflector is available for those who seek even more uniform swaths. When the B 950 Collect moves from road position to headland position the crop deflector is sequence controlled into its horizontal working position. This option is particularly useful in wedge-shaped plots or when one mower is not swathing. To minimize losses when working along field borders, opera-tors can switch between spreading and swathing – separately by mower, on the move and from the convenience of the cab. This will not change the mowers’ working position. Having one mower swath the crop is useful when opening a field and when cutting around obstacles. This option is also very useful in later cuts and in combination with a Krone four-rotor rake.
Protect the ground surface without compromising with the cutting quality!
The DuoGrip suspends the mower in its centre of gravity and guides it via two arms. This design allows the cutterbar to follow the ground contours even more accurately for a better protection of the sward. This way, the machine produces high-quality forage even in difficult conditions.
Control and steering tailored to your tractor
EasyCut Butterfly models come standard with an electric preselection box that is convenient and easy to use! The configuration and, above all, the features vary depending on the machine's equipment level. The basic functions include selecting transport mode, headland position, or operation using the toggle switches, and the ability to control each machine unit separately. For EasyCut B with swath mats, the control offers additional functions, such as speed control of the mats. Additional features may include convenient adjustment of the machine's ground pressure, if that feature is available on the machine. As an option, the control unit on certain machines can be replaced by an ISOBUS terminal or an ISOBUS-compatible tractor terminal.
Improved machine safety with collision protection system!
Integrated into the suspension system, the standard collision protection system is available on all supported mowing units. The collision protection system provides peace of mind when working alongside boundaries, fences, and hedges, and suddenly encountering an obstacle. When the system triggers a collision, the mower bar swings backward and upward to clear the obstacle. Once the obstacle is passed, the mower bar automatically returns to the working position. The conventional mechanical collision protection is a highly reliable system consisting of an adjustable coil spring and a lock.
