High-Performance Mower Conditioner BiG M 450

• Choice of various conditioner versions – steel tines or steel/rubber rollers
• Hydraulic conditioning control
• Full-width conditioning at 9.90 m

The KRONE roller conditioners are particularly well suited for intensive and yet gentle treatment of leafy crops.
Depending on conditions, rubber or steel rollers (M-Rolls) are available for accelerated wilting.

The chevron profiled rubber rollers measure 25 cm in diameter, offering enough capacity to take on huge masses and deliver intensive treatment without losses.

Our M-Rolls steel rollers stand out by being particularly robust and hard-wearing. Designed to work in arduous conditions, they offer an extremely long service life and the special M-profile crimps every stalk even in massive crops.

The roller gap is adjusted from the convenience of the cab – a comfortable and effective solution that helps you respond instantly to changing conditions, ensuring all haulms, stalks and blades are crimped intensively and uniformly and all leaves are treated gently.

Both rollers are driven by a robust gearbox. Revolving at up to 950rpm, the rollers provide effective processing for excellent feed.

Offering a total work width of 9.90 m, the BiG M 450 CR cuts up to 17 hectares per hour – an enormous area output that allows farmers to wait for the perfect moment to cut despite narrow harvest windows.

The M-Rolls can cut drying times by up to 12%, significantly reducing the time the material spends in the field and also nutrient losses. At the same time, the material is not crushed, which also minimises nutrient loss. This leads to higher energy levels that translate into a better animal performance.

With each roller being driven separately, the two rollers need not interlock to rotate – a detail that results in much quieter running and prevents overcrimping. In addition, the top roller has the flexibility to move up and out of the way of foreign objects, avoiding damage to the rollers and the driveline.

The crop from both rear mowers or just one can be merged with the swath that is formed by the front mower – simply by closing one or both swathing hoods. Mowing and swathing in a single-pass operation is a major efficiency boost.
