AutoScan: The photo-optical sensor in the middle of the maize header records the degree of maturity of the maize plant and ensures that the chop length is adapted automatically. For better structure and less silage effluent in the silo, the chopping length for green maize is longer. For dry maize, however, a shorter chopping length is used for better compaction in the silo. AutoScan eases the strain on the operator and saves fuel because the plants are cut only as short as necessary, no longer as short as possible. In KRONE machines, AutoScan is the standard, not an expensive extra equipment.

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.

EasyLoad: The EasyLoad auto loading system in combination with a camera-based 3D image analysis system allows operators to fill any type of trailer that is running alongside the harvester. The system controls the "open/close spout" and the "rotate left/right functions" and allows operators to select one of several filling strategies. Monitoring all functions from the in-cab screen, operators are more at ease.

RockProtect: The six pre-compression rollers are powerful yet gentle. The optional RockProtect system provides intelligent protection from damage by stones. It fully automatically halts the pre-compression rollers within milliseconds after a stone is detected. The sensitivity of the RockProtect system is adjustable for added protection.

ISOBUS steering system: As an option, every BiG X machine is ready to accept various ISOBUS guidance systems from different manufacturers. On the move, the operator activates autoguidance from the KRONE joystick. simply by pressing a button and then watches how the system guides BiG X down the bout. Automatic steering makes work easier for the operator and increases acreage output even with broad spreading, thereby increasing performance.

Metering moisture and nutrient levels: The optional AgriNIR online sensor supplies accurate data on moisture and nutrient levels on the move (DS, starch, crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, ADF, NDF). This data can be recorded in the machine terminal and assigned to the harvested area. The AgriNIR online sensor is easy to install on the BiG X spout where it 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.

Convenient weighing: AutoCalibrate is the remote calibration tool for the BiG X‘s yield recording system. It operates via a weighing device installed on one of the trailers in the harvest fleet. Both the BiG X and the trailer are equipped with data loggers that communicate via a mobile network. Calibration takes place in real time as 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.
