One step ahead – with a KRONE BiG Pack.
BiG Pack 890 (XC): At 80 x 90 cm (2'7.5" x 2'11"), this machine has the smallest chamber of any of the standard range of KRONE big balers. The handy, lightweight bales it produces are perfect for smaller farms that harvest smaller quantities of straw and hay. This machine is available either with a single axle or a rigid, steered tandem axle. Also, choose between Medium and Comfort on-board electronic controls. An Active Pick-up with a 1.95 m (6'5") wide powered feed roller is standard spec, and a 2.35 m (7'8.5") wide pick-up is available as an option.
Key features:
- BiG Pack 890: slimline machine for handy sized bales.
- KRONE XCut (XC) models offer a full set of blades you can achieve nominal LOCs of 44 mm and 88 mm with half the number of blades in action. The feed tines are arranged chevron-style and are plated with wide Hardox steel, reducing power input and delivering the finest cuts, high throughputs and maximum longevity.
- Rugged rotor, excellent cut: The large diameter of 550 mm (720 mm on the BiG Pack HDP II) is impressive. Arranged in a V-shape, the tines pull the crop through the blades with a minimum of input power and keep the bale chamber consistently filled across the whole width.
- Full throttle The cutting and VFS rotor is driven directly off the main gearbox. Overload protection is provided by the integrated cam clutch. The HDP II is driven via a selectable poly V-belt.
- Wide Hardox plates on the feed tines The 20 mm wide Hardox plates deliver higher throughputs, a clean, scissor-like cut and greater resistance to wear – your guarantee of high-quality forage. Any mushing is eliminated.
- The “pull-out drawer” principle The XCut cutting system has two blade cassettes which lower hydraulically for convenient access. Each cassette pulls out to the side like a drawer.
- Maximum protection All blades feature individual spring protection for trouble-free operation when foreign objects are picked up. The blades conveniently push back into their working position after the foreign body has cleared.
- Quick and easy The central blade control system allows you to select different cutting lengths: 44 mm with the full set of blades and 88 mm with half of them in action.
- BiG Pack 890 (XC) HighSpeed. At 80 x 90 cm, this machine has the smallest chamber of any of the standard range of KRONE big balers. The handy, lightweight bales it produces are perfect for smaller farms that harvest smaller quantities of straw and hay.
- This machine is available either with a single axle or a rigid, steered tandem axle. Also, choose between Medium and Comfort onboard electronic controls. An Active Pick-up with a 1.95 m wide powered feed roller is standard spec, and a 2.35 m wide pick-up is available as an option.
- BiG Pack 890 (XC) HighSpeed. With four double knotters and a chamber measuring 80 cm in width and 90 cm in height, this machine has proved its worth time and again – not just in straw but also in heavy, wet silage.
- KRONE Active Pick-up – a clever combination of the tried-and-trusted camless EasyFlow Pick-up plus an additional powered feed roller. The speciality of this pick-up is the design of the galvanized scrapers, which ensure a continuous and smooth crop fl ow as the tines retract.
- EasyFlow can work 30% faster – allowing for faster forward speeds and higher throughputs.
- The on-board hydraulic system with automatic baling pressure control ensures firm bale
- shapes and tidy edges, even in wet conditions and in different crops. Two sensors measure the current force of the plunger. A control system compares this measurement with the operator settings and the on-board hydraulic system automatically adapts the pressure exerted on the chamber walls.
- The KRONE big balers have long plungers which support the work of the needles, a design that brings peace of mind with respect to needle operation. The BiG Pack 870 and 890 operate at 49 strokes/min, ensuring quiet and smooth operation.
- Standard single axle on BiG Pack 890. The BiG Pack 890 is available with a single axle and large tyres (710/45- 22.5) for speeds of up to 40 km/h or optional tandem axles for speeds of up to 60 km/h.
- With their different chamber dimensions and many unique features, the BiG Pack 890 (XC), 1270 (XC/VC), 1290 (XC) and 4 x 4 (XC) deliver exceptional performance in straw, hay and other crops the world over. Every BiG Pack produces consistently stable bales – from small packs to the biggest bales on the market.
- To enable the machines to be attached and removed even more easily, KRONE offers an optional hydraulic stand for the BiG Pack 890.
