Forager power boost on demand from the Internet
Spelle, November 2019. 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. The novel 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.
XtraPower is currently available for the Krone Big X 680 models with 687hp base power engines. By opting into XtraPower-50 or XtraPower-100 the operator can boost the output of the V8 engine to 730hp or 775hp. XtraPower is solely used in field applications and is provided in various time packages ranging from 10 to 250 hours. The existing assistance systems like ECO-Power, Constant Power and PowerSplit naturally team up with XtraPower.
Summary: As a world first, Krone offers the new XtraPower assistance system - a practice-driven feature that provides a flexible power boost to forage harvesters. The feature boosts engine power on a Big X 680 to increase machine throughputs in specific crops. At the same time, tailoring the extra engine speed to the current throughput, the new feature ensures good fuel economy.
