BiG X 780

The self-propelled precision harvester BiG X from Krone is designed to deliver outstanding cutting quality. With six powerful intake rollers and a rapidly rotating drum, BiG X ensures a reliable grip on the crop, resulting in precise cutting lengths. The chopping drum can handle large amounts of material flow, and when it's time to change knives, adjustment is made easily using an eccentric.

BiG X from Krone has a powerful engine designed to handle large amounts of crop smoothly. With intelligent design, BiG X ensures that the crop is efficiently fed into the chopping drum, where the chopped green mass is collected in pockets for smooth transport. Fuel consumption is adjusted according to the amount of green mass to be chopped, reducing the risk of blockages. Additionally, the VariStream technology provides an extra level of safety by using a spring-loaded bottom to handle even larger amounts of crop. When it's time to discharge the crop, the Stream Control function offers full control over the distance of ejection, which is especially useful when opening up a field.

When working long days, it helps to have assistance systems that relieve the driver and a design that makes the work easier. The BiG X cabin features a panoramic view to give the driver a clear overview of the working area. The control unit, consisting of a monitor and joystick, gives the user full control, and an automatic relief mode can be used for efficient work shifts. To minimize downtime and protect the machine, there is a stone detector on the intake rollers that identifies stones and stops the intake immediately. It also has a DEF fuel tank that lasts the whole day. To make maintenance easier, it has fewer moving parts to lubricate, and most service points are located on the left side for easy access.

Whether you're harvesting grass, corn, or whole grains, BiG X offers the flexibility and versatility you need, and with just a few configurations, you can switch between applications. For grass harvesting, there's the impressive EasyFlow pickup, which, when paired with BiG X, delivers higher chopping quality and efficiency compared to traditional forage wagons. For corn harvesting, there are the options of EasyCollect and XCollect. The latter, XCollect, also breaks down the stalk, and if you want to maximize nutritional value even further, a kernel processor can be used. Finally, if you're facing whole grain harvesting, you can rely on the XDisc 620 header, which incorporates technology from Krone's EasyCut mower conditioner. This header becomes an excellent solution when the forage crop doesn't meet the original expectations, and growing grains need to be used as feed instead. With BiG X, you're ready for all your harvesting needs!

The BiG X from KRONE is the optimal self-propelled precision harvester for maximizing the quality of your crop. It offers outstanding cutting quality, high throughput, and superior user comfort. Here's what the crop flow looks like:

• Six intake rollers ensure high cutting quality.
• The universal chopping drum chops and transports the crop.
• VariStream technology can handle large amounts of crop in the machine.
• Easily adjust the distance to the throwing fan with StreamControl for precise accuracy.

The advanced input technology on the BiG X is the key to easily achieving precise and efficient cutting length. The six hydraulic intake rollers securely hold the crop before it is fed into the drum. The speed can be adjusted continuously from the cabin, giving you full control over the process. Additionally, adjustable springs ensure that the pressure from the intake rollers is optimal, resulting in strong compression and outstanding cutting results. The generous opening between the six intake rollers and its robust drive enables superior flow capacity through the machine, even in demanding conditions.

Advanced metal detection sensors in the front lower intake roller provide comprehensive protection against metal objects. These sensors carefully monitor the entire input width, reducing the risk of damage and downtime by detecting and warning of metal objects that may have been mixed into the crop. With this technology, your BiG X is both efficient and safe.

When maintenance is easy, there's a greater chance it will be performed, which is why the BiG X is designed with quick access to the chopping drum by disengaging the input system. If the chopping drum needs inspection in the field, the input system can be split in front of the chopping drum using the lifting hydraulics of the intake table and the detachable upper attachments. The lower attachments serve as hinges when the lifting hydraulics are gently raised with a button panel located on the left front fender.

When it comes to achieving high-quality forage, Krone's MaxFlow chopping drums guarantee perfect chopping. Choose from 20, 28, or 36 knives and customize the machine to your specific needs. The chopping drum is specially designed to produce high-quality silage while keeping fuel consumption low, thanks to its impressive flywheel mass and "pull-cut" technology. The knives are carefully placed in a chevron pattern at an 11° angle relative to the counter knife. This arrangement ensures a smooth flow process, minimizes noise levels, and maximizes efficiency. With the BiG X, you not only get outstanding cutting quality but also fuel-efficient performance for better machine economics.

Getting the knives to sit correctly can be difficult and time-consuming, but getting it right is necessary to achieve high-quality cutting. With the BiG X, the knives are correctly set from the start, saving you time, and immediately delivering the best possible results. Using an eccentric, the knife can be easily mounted in the right place with just three screws, ensuring they are always correctly and securely fastened.
