••• KRONE is committed to enhance
mower efficiency in any respect.
Clean cuts, low input requirements
and rugged stability are only a few of
many purchase criteria that justify the
investment in a KRONE disc mower.
At home and abroad, KRONE disc
mowers perform successfully in a

••• Continued performance at high out-
put levels requires not only a
powerful machine but also ease of
operation. With this in mind, KRONE
specifies its EasyCut 280 and 320
disc mowers with single-acting rams
that lift and lower the units on the
headland and fold them into trans-
port position. The driveshaft is pro-
tected by a stop to restrict lift height
and the angle of articulation of the
universal joints. At the same time,
headland turns are easier thanks
to a generous ground clearance.
The three-point mounted EasyCut
mowers do not require the link arms
to raise when running over swaths.
