The KRONE knotting system delivers a high-density and firm bale every single time. The double knotter technology on the BiG Pack 870 HDP is fitted as standard on all chambers measuring more than 70 cm in height, where it ties even high-density bales and crops that are prone to expanding into packs that hold. BiG Pack 1270 is fitted with single knotters as standard, but double knotters are available as an option.

How the double knotter works: The knotter feeds an upper and a lower twine to the bale as it is being pressed and ties the twine with two knots – one at the front end of the bale (starter knot no. 1) and one at the rear end (finishing knot no. 2). The lower twine is threaded through the needle by a tensioning system that surrounds the base and the two ends of the bale. The upper twine is supplied to the bale directly by a tensioning system and encloses the top of the bale. This system allows the machine to apply maximum baling force in any type of crop.

With as many as 32 twine balls (11 kg each) on board (54 on the HDP II), you can bale more than 900 bales without stopping for a refill. The dust-proof twine boxes can be simply flipped up to allow access for servicing.

Cleaning by air: The air cleaning system guarantees ultra-reliable knotting – even in extreme conditions. The airlines clean the knotters regularly with a jet of compressed air.

On-board compressor: Not all tractors in every country feature an compressor. To ensure no machine has to do without the compressed-air knotter cleaning system, the KRONE balers are equipped with an on-board compressor.
