2023 Krone Big Pack 1290 Baler - The New Generation. CASH PRICE $234,900

Even after more than 25 years of big baler production in Spelle, there is no sign of any let-up in the sheer innovative strength of the KRONE engineering team, as is evident from the new series of BiG Pack balers. Over several years of intensive development, they have come up with a completely new generation of BiG Pack balers which incorporate many well-known technologies and, above all, offer a significant increase in comfort. Almost all of the existing features have been upgraded and adapted to user requirements.

Features may include:

Lights: In addition to the modern full LED light specification, KRONE also offers various LED work light packages to suit individual needs.
Bale chamber: All models gain the much longer baling chamber from the 1290 HDP for firmer, tighter and heavier bales.
Cleaning the machine: A brand new hydraulic knotter fan is available as an option which cleans the knotter permanently. The best part of this is that the air flow is also directed to the areas behind the twine boxes cleaning further areas of the machine.
The cutting system: The VariCut system offers buyers the flexibility to choose between two blade cassettes with up to 26 or 51 blades each.
Electronics: The new BPW tandem axles and a choice of tyre options ensure stable rides behind the tractor.
Active pick-up: The camless Active pick-up from KRONE is now available as a hydraulic option.
Flywheel: The well-proven and convenient driveline without shear pins.
Twine boxes: A new and most functional approach – learn more about the new twine boxes.
Twines: Original KRONE twine gives peace of mind.
Drawbar: Choice of hitch options to suit all requirements across the globe.
VFS packers: Tried and tested just got better! Read more on the updated VFS variable filling system.
Axle: The new BPW tandem axles and a choice of tyre options ensure stable rides behind the tractor.
Options: Further options to boost increase operator comfort.
BiG Pack 1290 (VC): 120 x 90 cm chamber, with or without cutting system
More than 25 years of experience and expertise has been built into the KRONE big balers The Variable Filling System, the unique MultiBale system and the camless EasyFlow pick-up with mechanical-drive rotor (Active Pick-up) are the landmark features that have won international recognition and that underpin the success of BiG Pack. Based on this design, the new generation of BiG Pack models is now being launched.

The KRONE BiG Pack 1290 (VC) has the 120 x 90 cm chamber which is the most popular chamber size on the international market – not only because it makes very economic use of the twine but also because these bales stack very well. The new version has a much longer chamber and this has a positive effect on the shape of the bales. In addition, the model is now also available with the 51-blade VariCut cutting system.
