The BIG X from Krone

The "KRONE BIG X" is the latest innovation from the agricultural machinery manufacturer Krone. The "BIG X" promises more comfort when chopping thanks to an innovative cab lift, which the driver can raise by 70 cm at the touch of a button. This gives the driver a perfect overview of the crop or of the forwarding wagon in parallel operation or when chopping. Another advantage is the greater distance to the chopping unit, which has a positive effect on the noise level in the cab. The "KRONE BIG X" model was preceded by a 2-year planning and development period. Many tests with different variants were carried out over a period of months. The "KRONE BIG X" relies on a bellows from our production for the cladding of the cab lift, which is positioned on a hydraulic scissor lift table. The bellows protect both the mechanics of the lifting device from external influences (dust, sand, rain) and injuries. At the Agritechnica 2017 trade fair, which took place in Hanover in November, the model was named "Machine of the Year 2018" by the German Agricultural Society (DLG). This is the third time in a row that the agricultural machinery manufacturer has secured the coveted title in the forage harvester category. More information on the "Machine of the Year 2018" can be found here.
