The sixth generation of Krone Big Pack square balers expands with the launch of the new Big Pack Plus series. These models have been developed to meet the needs of farmers and contractors looking for high baling performance, simple operation, and lower investment costs.
Advanced Technology for Maximum Productivity
The latest Krone Big Pack Plus balers were designed to deliver high output levels even under demanding working conditions. They are capable of handling challenging crops and intensive harvesting operations while maintaining bale quality and density.
A state-of-the-art onboard electronic system allows operators to manage numerous functions directly from the tractor cab. These include pick-up control, bale extraction systems, twine storage compartments, and cutting units. The VariCut systems with 26 or 51 knives provide precise and consistent cutting quality, while the optional PreChop system increases straw absorbency by finely processing the crop material.
Strength and Reliability for Intensive Operations
The Big Pack range features a heavy-duty Liebherr main gearbox and reinforced driveline components. This configuration ensures outstanding durability and reliability, even in the toughest operating environments.
The HDP models also benefit from upgraded bale chambers, more powerful hydraulic cylinders, reinforced yokes, and dedicated piston side knives. These features enable the production of consistently dense and heavy bales, even when working with dry and difficult crop materials.
Additional Pro series features include the electronically controlled VFS variable filling system, LED lighting, the PowerClean Pro knotter cleaning system, additive applicators, and digital connectivity solutions for machine monitoring and job documentation.
Big Pack Plus: Simplicity and Value Without Compromise
The new Big Pack Plus series has been developed to deliver much of the performance offered by the Pro models while providing a simpler configuration and a lower purchase cost. These balers share many core components with the Pro range, including the Krone EasyFlow pick-up, the Liebherr main gearbox, hydraulic and electrical systems, knotters, and several maintenance-oriented design solutions.
The main differences are the XCut cutting unit with 26 manually selectable knives and the mechanically controlled VFS variable filling system, replacing the electronic controls found on the Pro models. Advanced features such as Smart Connect, moisture sensing systems, and additive applicators are available as optional equipment.
Three Models to Meet Every Professional Requirement
The Big Pack Plus range includes the Big Pack Plus 1270 XC/VC, Big Pack Plus 1290 XC, and Big Pack Plus HDP 1290 XC models. These balers maintain the operational capabilities of the Pro series and are designed to deliver excellent baling performance across a wide range of applications.
By replacing some electronic systems with mechanical solutions, the machines offer easier day-to-day operation and simplified maintenance. At the same time, they reduce initial investment costs. This makes the Big Pack Plus range an ideal choice for businesses seeking productivity, ease of use, and long-term reliability.
A Dual-Range Strategy for Every Customer Need
With the introduction of the Big Pack Plus series, Krone now offers a comprehensive baler portfolio. The Big Pack Pro range represents the brand’s highest level of technology and automation. The new Big Pack Plus models provide outstanding performance, simplified operation, and an attractive balance between investment and productivity. This dual-range approach enables farmers and contractors to select the machine that best matches their operational requirements while benefiting from the high-quality standards that define Krone square balers
