KRONE GX universal trailer – jack-of-all-trades for any type of agricultural cargo

GX stands for general-purpose wagon, the most recent addition to the Krone forage wagon range. This wagon offers a new level of versatility and gentle and fast unloading of a wide variety of cargo. The new machine is available in two sizes – 44 m³ and 52 m³ – with two optional discharge rollers. The GX 440 rides on tandem axles and the GX 520 on a tridem unit, with both models featuring standard Isobus operation.

Special Feature

ExactUnload

A world first – unique unloading control by length of the pit With ExactUnload, GX unloads its cargo automatically at rates that match the length of the pit. The operator sets the unloading rate infinitely variably for a course between 10 m and 100 m. ExactUnload controls the unloading rate actively to match the current forward speed of the tractor, helping you deliver the crop in accurate and reproduceable heaps. Laying out a nice blanket, the GX is particularly good at filling silage pits and controlled unloading routines in the field.

As a general-purpose wagon, the GX is equally at home on the road and in the field. The running gear offers great ride comfort, good road stability and light running.

The drawbar
The drawbar
  • Up to 4 t tongue load from a slim and compact design
  • Two massive hydraulic cylinders move the drawbar in any position
  • Curved collision protectors protect the tractor tyre in tight turns
  • Standard suspension for convenient rides in fields and on roads

The hydraulic articulated drawbar makes the GX general-purpose wagon a smarter machine. This simple but very functional design eliminates a hydraulic stand for attachment to the tractor. As it can lower the front end, eliminates the headboard hatch and optimizes the filling process by raising the rear end. In extreme conditions, GX offers maximum ground clearance and variable tongue loads.

The load area
The load area
  • Huge capacity: 44 m³ to 52 m³ bodies
  • Single-frame concept for a lower dead weight and high payload
  • Lightweight and rugged body
  • See-through headboard for optimum visibility
  • Telescoping extensions as an option

The KRONE GX general-purpose wagon is a high-capacity machine that adapts flexibly to different applications. For example, the telescoping extensions easily vary the volume and adjust the loading height to the job at hand.

The rear
The rear
  • Two optional discharge rollers unload the material in a uniform mat
  • Discharge rollers protected through main drive shaft
  • A simple mechanism attaches the discharge rollers to the tailboard when not in use
  • Convenient changeovers without time-consuming removal

The double-function tailgate is another clever feature on the KRONE GX. After all, versatility is key for the GX. The two optional discharge rollers on the KRONE GX 440 and GX 520 models unload the material in a uniform mat for perfect rolling. The powerful and effective rollers are designed to handle the high unloading rate of the floor belt. When not in use, they simply swing up and out of the way.

The running gear
The running gear
  • Hydraulic running gear for exceptional road stability
  • KRONE tandem axles for axle loads of up to 20 tonnes
  • KRONE tridem axles with lift axle and a 27/30 t axle load
  • Optional hydro-pneumatic suspension for smooth rides in uneven terrain and on bumpy tracks
  • Reliable brakes courtesy of accumulated brake cylinders that are sourced from commercial vehicles

Our hydraulic axle assemblies were specifically developed for our wagons and trailers. As such they offer exceptional road stability and best rides in extreme situations – which are essential and nearly indispensable qualities in today’s haulage business. Thanks to a unique axle configuration, the GX offers great stability and quiet running.

Stability in the field and on the road
Stability in the field and on the road

Ever bigger and faster tractors, ever higher trailer capacities and payloads call for a thorough rethink on road and field safety. Therefore KRONE offers the electronic braking system as an option. Sourced from the industrial sector, the system has proven exceptionally well for many years. In addition, intelligent steered axles help protect the ground and provide added safety.

Ground clearance
Ground clearance

As a general-purpose wagon, the GX is designed to also operate in extreme conditions. Therefore the braking unit sits on top of the axle where it is protected from dirt for reliable operation and maximum ground clearance.

Enhanced reliability
Enhanced reliability

EBS is the optional electronic brake system, which comprises ALB, ABS and RSS functions. The roll stability system applies the brakes when it detects a risk of rollover, ensuring greatest stability when taking tight turns at speed. Combined, all these functions lead to an enhanced reliability

The brake
The brake

The GX 440 and GX 520 have a dual line air brake as a standard feature. The hydraulic ALB valve controls the braking power relative to the current load. Spring accumulated braking cylinders ensure the machine is parked up safely in any terrain.

Electronic forced steering
Electronic forced steering

The speciality of this steering system is a processor which receives data from a steering angle sensor and connecting rod. The integral hydraulic system supplies the steering cylinder with oil, making GX a very nimble machine. As forward speed increases, operator interference decreases for added road safety. Yet in field mode, the operators can interfere in the steering, which is important on the slope or clamp or when shunting, for example.

Hydraulic forced steering
Hydraulic forced steering

The steering system on tandem and tridem axle models is attached to the tractor via a standardized ball hitch, a steering rod and a hydraulic master cylinder which controls the oil flow to and from the power steering ram.

Intelligent caster-steer axle
Intelligent caster-steer axle

Caster steering is standard specification on the GX 440 models with tandem axles. The steering system can be locked hydraulically during shunting, clamping and in road work. The system is easy to use thanks to the automatic axle locking feature which kicks in when the machine reaches a preset speed or goes into reverse.

Thanks to the optional radio remote control you can operate the GX remotely from the ground: open and close the tailgate or operate the floor/headboard unloading unit at variable speeds. Stay on top of things without a helper.

ISOBUS Operation
ISOBUS Operation

The general-purpose wagon is conveniently operated from the standard-fit ISOBUS control unit. Its clear user interface offers intuitive operation and displays machine data and setup information. You can select your preferred view from configurable buttons. As it is our claim is to provide operators with an uncluttered and self-explanatory user interface and operator environment, the GX can be operated either from your tractor terminal or from an additional ISOBUS terminal – ideally one from the KRONE CCI family with either the 8-inch or 12-inch display screen showing machine data and the feeds from an optional rear-view camera side by side.
