Similarly, the AUX joysticks on the tractors can also be combined with both the tractor terminal and the KRONE terminal. This makes it possible to customize machine control to the current conditions.
Using the multi-functional ISOBUS terminal saves costs as it eliminates the need for a separate control unit for each implement. In addition, it saves time when swapping machines, because the terminal does not have to be transferred. Moreover, operators use just one universal software. All these benefits make your work day easy and smooth.
As KRONE machines are AEF-certified to the ISOBUS standard, they can also be operated from the terminals of other manufacturers. Using the existing tractor terminal to operate your KRONE machine leaves your cab clutter-free and and you enjoy an uninterrupted view on all sides.
- New digital cameras for demanding agricultural applications
- Higher resolution and better lighting adjustment
- Resistant to dust and high-pressure cleaners (IP6K9K)
- Simultaneous display of two camera images on the CCI 1200 (1x Maxiview, 1x Miniview)
The new robust digital cameras are used for field of view and process monitoring especially for agricultural applications. This optimises process reliability, as important areas of the machine, such as the bale transfer, can be viewed. and also view dead angles during road travel for improved safety.
Thanks to your camera system, you always have the sensitive process steps in view, even if you cannot observe them directly from the cab, e.g. depositing bales on a slope. Therefore, the camera system also improves the operational safety of your machine.
A DLG-certified camera system is available as an option for all EasyCut F front mounted mowers without an A-frame. The system is DLG certified and offers two views on the same screen for improved visibility in awkward situations. For example, narrow field gates are now easily managed without a helper. The package comprises two cameras, the display screen and the necessary wiring.
On the BiG M and BiG X self-propelled machines, the camera images are integrated into the operating terminal. When reversing, the terminal automatically shows the image on the terminal. With the BiG X, a camera can also be mounted on the spout.
The cameras are water-tight and pressure-washer-proof (IP68 and IP69K). The 4 mm window is heat-tempered and resistant to shock loads for longevity and reliability. The integral 2.5 W lens heater prevents fogging and icing. The heater comes on automatically when temperatures drop beneath 5 °C which prevents condensation. This specification ensures that the camera is functional even in changing conditions.
The camera feeds are viewed on either a separate screen or the CCI 800 and 1200 terminals. Or, as a fourth option, on the tractor terminal. This gives users the choice of using the camera as a standalone device or as part of an integrated system.
- Using the full working width
- Increased efficiency
- Increased efficiency
- Maximum driver comfort
The KRONE GPS Guidance is specially designed to meet the needs of KRONE self-propelled machines. Thanks to the automatic steering, the GNSS receiver and the RTK correction signals, which are optionally received via the KSC, the self-propelled machines can drive over the area to be harvested with minimum overlap and true to track. For the driver, this means fatigue-free work and a high level of comfort.
The KRONE GPS Guidance is operated either via the CCI 800 or CCI 1200 terminal. It is possible to choose between the EGNOS correction signal with about +-20 cm accuracy and the RTK correction signal with about +-2 cm accuracy.
Equipped with KRONE GPS Guidance, the BiG X can be steered comfortably and safely by autopilot. The use of GPS Guidance on the BiG X is particularly useful when harvesting whole crop silage. The driver can therefore concentrate fully on the work processes in the harvest fleet.
With the aid of the KRONE GPS Guidance steering system, the BiG M can always utilise the maximum working width. This ensures an increase in efficiency and a saving in diesel costs. In addition, crossings are reduced to a minimum.
- Lift and lower mowers and rotors automatically
- Maximum driver comfort
- Maximum efficiency
- Complete processing of the areas
Thanks to Section Control, the individual partial widths are switched automatically. This relieves the driver's workload and allows him to concentrate fully on the work processes of the machine. KRONE also offers complete systems including GNSS receivers, cables and terminals for the use of Section Control.
On KRONE rakes and triple mowers, the partial widths can be switched via all ISOBUS terminals with Section Control. The control of the partial widths on the BiG M is taken over by the CCI 800 or CCI 1200 ISOBUS terminals with Section Control licence.
The EasyCut B 880 CV/CR Collect, B 950 Collect, B 1000 CV/CR (Collect) and B 1050 CV (Collect) mowers are available in conjunction with ISOBUS electronics with Section Control. All partial widths automatically switch between headland and working position at the optimum time reducing operator strain and maximizing productivity.
Thanks to Section Control, the individual rotors on the Swadro TC 1370, TC 1570 and TC 2000 are automatically controlled between working and headland positions. With the rakes it is possible to install the optional GNSS receiver directly on the frame. This means that tractors without their own GNSS receiver can also use the Section Control function on the rake.
With the aid of Section Control, the individual mower units on the BiG M are automatically raised at the headland and lowered back into the working position. In this way, multiple processing of the mown crop is avoided to the benefit of forage quality and the driver's workload is once again significantly reduced.
- With TIM, the implement controls the tractor
- Optimum sequence control reduces downtime and boosts efficiency
- Process consistency results in uniform bales
- Maximum driving comfort
- More bales per hour
The Tractor Implement Management system enables the implement to control the tractor. This reduces your workload as the driver and ensures optimum operator comfort. Furthermore, TIM reduces the downtimes of your machine thanks to the optimal sequence of the process steps. This increases the throughput and therefore the productivity of your machine. TIM is integrated as standard in all baler and wrapper combinations and VariPack Plus. Optionally TIM is available on all Comprima C and F as well as VariPack.
Thanks to the automatic sequence of the baling process, the machine works continuously with optimum throughput. This reduces fuel consumption and costs per bale.
Thanks to the automatic sequence of the baling process, TIM gives you uniform and consistently dense bales.
The optimal sequence of process steps shortens the machine's downtimes. increases throughput, and boosts machine productivity. TIM also enables even inexperienced operators to use the tractor and KRONE baler combination immediately with maximum productivity.
After the net is applied, the rear door opens, the bale is ejected, and the door closes. The only thing the operator has to do is pull off the tractor. This is a safety provision.
When the baler signals that the target bale size has been reached, the tractor stops automatically. Then the net or film wrapping cycle is started automatically.
With TIM, the round baler is operated automatically, which increases operator comfort and reduces operator fatigue. The automatic system ensures that machine productivity never declines during the long working day.
On the KRONE Comprima round balers, the bale weights can be determined via four weighing pins in the wrapping table. The bale weights are displayed directly on the terminal. In addition, further data such as moisture, bale size and position are recorded for each individual bale.
On the KRONE BiG Packs the bale chute and the KRONE BaleCollect can be equipped with an integrated scale. The bale weights are displayed directly on the terminal. In addition, further data such as moisture, bale length and position are recorded for each individual bale.
On the KRONE loading and forage transport wagons, the electronic weighing device is measured via gauging pins on the drawbar as well as on the tandem or tridem unit with hydraulic compensation. The weight of the load is equivalent to the accumulated drawbar tongue load and axle load. The weight is recorded and evaluated by job and displayed on the display screen.
The CropControl yield metering feature on the KRONE BiG X computes the yield by measuring the crop flow. The crop flow is measured by using the speed and the distance between the two leading pre-compression rollers. Thanks to the six pre-compression rollers and regular calibration, the yield recording always works accurately, even under changing harvesting conditions.
- Sensor for near-infrared spectroscopy
- Recording the contents of forage and slurry
- Cross-machine use on forage harvester and slurry tanker
With the KRONE NIR Control dual sensor, your BiG X can automatically record the yield, moisture and contents of your crops. The sensor can also be used across manufacturers for determining the contents of the slurry tanker. The data collected enables precise fertiliser application according to the yield potential of your area, thereby increasing the efficiency of your fertilisers.
By recording the material properties, the BiG X, the BiG Pack and the loading and forage transport wagons can automatically add silage additives as required. Therefore, the silage additives are used with maximum efficiency. This saves costs and optimises the quality of the harvested forage.
The moisture measuring device installed in the bale channel of the KRONE BiG Pack always informs you about the properties of the crops. The information is read out on a cab-based monitor. An alarm is issued automatically whenever a preset parameter is exceeded. In combination with a metering system, silage additives can be metered depending on the bale moisture.
The moisture measurement on KRONE round balers informs the driver about the properties of the crops so the operator can choose the baling pressure to suit. At the same time, you are free to choose wrapping or not wrapping.
- Settlement of the contract work on the basis of the machine data - Settlement of the crops on the basis of the quality parameters - Application according to need (e.g. farm manure) - Recording of yield data for control and optimisation of arable farming - Feed according to need on the basis of the quality parameters
In addition to use on the forage harvester, this sensor can also be used on your slurry tanker. Here, the analysis of the contents enables the organic fertilisers to be applied on the basis of an application map. This enables you to use your fertilisers with maximum efficiency.
With KRONE NIR Control dual, data on the moisture and contents of the crops are recorded when harvesting maize, grass and whole crop silage.
