Powerful and durable, the Krone Big X is an impressive forage harvester. Innovative features set these machines apart from the crowd.. Rolling out of the assembly hall at Spelle, Northern Germany on May 20, 2000, the first Big X signalled the final step in Krone’s transition from a general agricultural machinery manufacturer to a specialist in forage technology. Reacting to the decline in popularity of forage wagons and trailed foragers, the design brief was simple; the company would offer something bigger than the other manufacturers at the time. An engine capable of 600hp was a must, while maize headers with eight, 10 and 12 row options were also needed, as six rows were most prevalent. In addition, a host of electronic features, many of which would later be adopted by the wider market, would deliver performance and operator comfort.
