The chopper unit

Optimum layer thickness

It's not just the number of blades that accounts for a good quality chop. The thickness of the mat that passes through them and therefore the width of the chopping drums are just as important. Therefore KRONE designed a wider 630 mm chopping drum for the BiG X 480, 530, 580 and 630 which carries the customary high chopping quality of the high-capacity foragers with 800 mm drums over to the smaller models.

Equipped with ­KRONE GPS Guidance, the BiG X can be steered comfortably and safely by autopilot. Thanks to this automatic steering system and the correction signals received by the GPS receiver, the BiG X can drive over the area to be harvested true-to-track and with minimum overlap. For the driver, this means fatigue-free work and a high level of comfort. In addition, the BiG X can also be optionally pre-equipped for ISOBUS steering systems from various manufacturers.
