The following situation is all too familiar to contractors: suddenly you need more engine power to maintain the current forward speed and yet keep up the high quality of chop. This is a typical situation for which Krone developed the innovative XtraPower technology in 2019. The novel E-Solutions online shop system allows contractors to boost engine power by 50-100hp within a few minutes, simply by booking it on the Internet. After purchasing the extra power for the registered machine, the purchase is enabled on the machine and activated by the operator.
As another advantage, XtraPower is used only on demand, such as when harvesting biogas maize, whole crop silage or grass. When the crops don’t require extra engine power, the operator selects ‘Pause’ on the terminal screen and engine speeds drops automatically to its previous level.
