2024 Krone VariPack V 165

2024 Krone VariPack V 165

Features may include:

• High-capacity belt baler for dry crops

• EasyFlow pick-up without cam track has few moving parts

• Integral feed rotor and integral rotor cutter ensure maximum throughputs

• XC cutting system for exact and smooth cuts

• Effective bale start and roll ensures perfect bales

• Exceptionally high densities

• Auto chain oiler and grease banks reduce time spent servicing

The most compact model in the range is the VariPack V 165 (XC) which has a specifically designed chamber that bales 0.80-1.65 m diameter bales.

The next model is the VariPack V 190 (XC). The chamber on this model produces 0.80 m and 1.90 m bales.

• A clean rake – 2.15 m pick-up for thorough and consistent rakes without losses

• Safe – 6 mm thick double tines with large diameter coils

• Durable and hard-wearing – few moving parts reduce wear to a minimum

The wide EasyFlow pick-up makes sure no haulm is left on the ground even in difficult conditions and when working at high speeds. Thanks to its clutter-free build that relies on only very few moving parts, the unit stands out for minimum wear and maximum longevity.

KRONE has purposely removed the cam track from the EasyFlow for controlling the tines. Instead of using many moving parts that are prone to wear, EasyFlow has special strippers that ensure the tine angle is always right the length ideal. Measuring 6 mm in diameter and mounted with large coils, the tines are particularly vigorous and hard-wearing. Narrowly spaced at 55 mm, they pick up also short haulmed and heavy crops thoroughly and without contamination.

The crop press roller supports the work of the pickup by detecting the size of the swath and preparing it for effective gathering. The height is altered on a simple mechanism for easy and fast use and adaptation to varying crops, swath volumes and work rates. This results in clean and thorough gathering.

The pick-up runs on two gauge wheels the height of which is set easily and fast without the need of tools and simply by refitting a pin.

• Versatile and flexible – choice of an integral feed rotor or an integral rotor cutter with 17 blades

• Powerful – the 530 mm rotor ensures massive throughputs

• Consistent flow – the rotor with integrated feed roller provides a uniform crop flow

• Precision cut – the best quality thanks to the rotor for controlled cuts

• Making things easy – the floor beneath the cut-and-feed assembly drops hydraulically for convenient removal of blockages

The integral rotor is available with or without a cutting system. Rugged by design, the unit performs dependably and reliability in challenging conditions. The integral rotor has feed augers integrated at its ends, a design that leads to a significant reduction of the number of moving parts. Fewer moving parts translate into better cleaning, less service and maintenance and a longer lifespan.

Integrating the feed rollers in the rotor leads to a very consistent and dependable feed of material from the pick-up to the rotor – another boon for the overall crop flow and reliable machine performance.

The pick-up and the integral rotor are driven by one shared 1 ¼inch chain. The simple and robust drive uses only few moving parts thus reduces wear and the time you spent servicing.

The floor under the cut-and-feed rotor drops at a flick of a button to remove blockages conveniently from the cab. With the floor down, the pto is operated to clear the blockage. Then the floor is raised again and baling continues.
