DigitalSystems is the electronic control system from KRONE that optimizes machine utilization and operator comfort. It gives peace of mind in tough conditions and displays all relevant harvest data.

AutoScan: The photo-optical sensor in the middle of the maize header measures the maturity of the plant and automatically adjusts the LOC. Green maize is cut to longer lengths for a better structure and to reduce silage effluent in the clamp. When harvesting dry maize, the material is cut to shorter lengths for more effective compaction in the clamp. AutoScan reduces operator effort and saves fuel, because the stalks are only cut as short as necessary and not as short as possible. AutoScan comes as standard with all KRONE machines and is not an expensive extra.

ConstantPower: ConstantPower automatically adjusts the machine‘s ground speed to the engine loading. Select the desired engine loading at the touch of a button and the machine will adapt its ground speed fully automatically to the crop and material being harvested. This standard feature reduces operator stress and ensures maximum throughputs with minimum fuel consumption. In combination with AutoScan, this system takes the overall quality of chop and machine performance to a whole new level.

ForageCam: As an optional extra, a CCTV camera on the spout remotely transmits footage to the forager’s in-cab terminal and to the terminal on the trailer. The CCTV camera helps the operator utilize the full load space in the trailer and reduces fatigue at the same time. The system can be expanded to communicate with multiple receivers on all the trailers in a large haulage chain.

RockProtect: The six pre-compression rollers are powerful and soft at the same time. The optional RockProtect system provides intelligent protection from damage by stones as it halts the pre-compression rollers fully automatically within milliseconds after the system detects a stone. The operator sets the sensitivity of systems. More protection – more peace of mind.

ISOBUS autoguidance: As an optional extra, BiG X can be supplied ready to accept various manufacturers’ ISOBUS guidance systems. On the move, the operator activates autoguidance using the KRONE joystick simply by pressing a button, then watches the system guiding BiG X down the track. Autoguidance reduces operator fatigue, boosts work rates in broadcast seeded crops and increases efficiency.

NIR crop moisture sensing system: The optional NIR sensor provides exact information on crop moisture levels. The information can be allocated to the area harvested in the customer memory. The NIR sensor is easy to install on the BiG X spout and is protected from damage by a cover.

CropControl: The optional KRONE CropControl yield metering system measures the volume of crop harvested quickly and accurately at the touch of a button. With CropControl you can seamlessly document yield information on all fields harvested.

AutoCalibrate: AutoCalibrate is the re-mote calibration tool for the BiG X‘s yield metering system. It operates via a weighing system installed on one of the trailers in the harvest chain. Both the trailer and the BiG X forager are equipped with data loggers that communicate via a mobile network. Calibration takes place while the ‘calibrating machine’ is being filled. AutoCalibrate is highly accurate and is the first system of its kind to eliminate the trip to the weighbridge.
