A milestone in advanced ergonomics
Long working days, sometimes extending long into
the night, require a working environment that offers
appropriate comfort. The new and open-plan Silent
Space cab was developed to the latest ergonomic
standards. Providing generous space and an extra
buddy seat, it offers a fully air-conditioned and
absolutely functional working place, where the
operator feels at home and has full command of all
controls.

How much power do you need?
Cutting-edge engine technology from MAN takes power and economy to a new dimension.
Common Rail injection and the single engine concept lead to quiet running, low fuel
consumption, high efciency and lowest maintenance. On the BiG X 1100 the innovative
KRONE Power Management system allows operators to switch from Eco Power mode to
X Power mode and vice versa and adjust engine output to current requirements.

VariStream
Utilization is up, consumption is down
Highest throughputs and a superior quality of chop require a techno-
logy to match. This in turn requires many innovative details such as
the six hydraulic-drive pre-compression rollers, the large cutterhead
with up to 40 knives and the award winning VariStream crop flow.
Consisting of a spring-loaded floor beneath the chopping cylinder
and a spring-loaded back plate in the crop accelerator housing,
VariStream ensures blockage-free and smooth operation, even
when the flow of crop is not uniform. Forager utilization is
maximized to its limit and fuel consumption drops
per ton of crop harvested.

EasyCollect Quality of chop starts at the header
The row-independent EasyCollect header is a
versatile unit that impresses by feeding the stalks
longitudinally into the machine, which leads to an
unsurpassed quality of chop, because coarse chops
are not desired in livestock farming and biogas
production. The unique collector principle stands for
low system costs and has proven fantastically well
the world over. Compact transport position:

EasyFlow another KRONE exclusive
EasyFlow 3001 and 3801: The uncontrolled
pick-ups. The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
operates without guide rollers and cam tracks.
This leads to 58 % reduction in moving parts
over traditional pick-ups and hence much quieter
running. Fewer parts mean less wear and this in turn
means reduced service and maintenance costs. EasyFlow
operates at a 30 % higher speed for cleaner gathering and
higher productivity.
Uncontrolled is better:
