Krone has given the Stage V versions of its Big X 480, 530, 580 and 630 self-propelled forage harvesters a new cab and a facelift.
Available in two levels of specification, the cab comes from the Big X 680 to 1180 models. The standard Premium version has an 8″ touchscreen, USB and camera ports, sun blind and wiper on the front window and two wipers on the side windows.
The optional Premium Comfort cab offers a leather clad steering wheel, a 12″ touchscreen, USB and camera ports, cooled thermos box and sun blinds on the front, right and rear windows.
The front window is kept clean by three wipers, the side windows by one wiper each and the rear window by one wiper, all being supplied with screen wash.
Each cab version comes with a choice of seats and halogen or LED light packages. Optional lights on the steps and service points can also be ordered.
All models are powered by MTU Stage V engines of up to 653hp and like the larger Big Xs, these latest models, which on 710/70 R42 tyres have a transport width of 3m, come with the OptiMaxx CornConditioner.
The Big X480 and 580 are also available with XtraPower, which books extra engine power into the machine depending on requirements and local harvest conditions. Available in 10 to 250 drum hour packages, XtraPower can only be retrieved in field work.
