More output from less horsepower

Buying a KRONE AX forage wagon means buying into experience and expertise. Innovations such as the camless EasyFlow pick-up, the massive cut-and-feed rotor, the knife bank that swings out to the side, and the chain-and-slat floor that slopes at the front combine to implement higher throughputs, lower input power, more operator comfort and less wear and maintenance.

AX 250 L, AX 280 L These models without discharge rollers feature collapsible hay extensions that are operated hydraulically the ideal machine to pass through low gates and enter low buildings.

AX 250 D This is our self-loading/unloading forage wagon with two powerful discharge rollers and collapsible hay extensions that are operated hydraulically. The two rotors at the rear discharge the material in uniform mats for easier clamping.

AX 250 GL, AX 280 GL These forage wagons feature solid steel extensions for loss-free harvesting. The extensions fold down into the load area for easy machine storage inside buildings. AX 09/11 |

AX 250 GD, AX 280 GD These rotor wagon models feature solid steel extensions and up to three discharge rollers at the rear for very fast unloading cycles the ideal machine for contracting businesses and machinery rings.

EasyFlow
The camless pick-up
Leaves an impeccable surface Increased throughput and quieter running Less wear and maintenance

EasyFlow more efficient and more effective Picking up the crop at a width of 1,700 mm (DIN 11220) and operating at a higher speed, the camless EasyFlow pick-up comes into its own in demanding conditions,

including wide swaths, heavy drop and high workrates. Here, EasyFlow is simply the best.

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Cost effective and powerful

EasyFlow is our camless pick-up that gives you obvious benefits. Using fewer moving parts than a controlled cam track, this system is simpler by design and provides exceptionally quiet running, which results in reduced wear and maintenance as well as reduced service costs. Operating at a 30 % higher speed, EasyFlow is now even more effective and powerful.

No cam but special scrapers This pick-up stands out for the special design of its scrapers, which allow the tines to retract and provide a smooth and consistent crop flow into the machine.

Low-maintenance driveline The chain is tensioned automatically and overload protected by a shear bolt.

Closely spaced tines Boasting five rows of tines spaced 55 mm (2.2") apart, EasyFlow picks up even the short stems.

AX 09/11 |

Roller crop guard This crop guard eliminates the risk of pushing up crop in uneven swaths. The machine operates permanently at maximum pick-up and output levels and yet maintains a smooth and consistent crop flow.

Fully adaptable The pick-up pivots in both its mountings and is pushed over the ground, providing full ground contour following in and across the direction of travel for clean rakes and an impeccable surface.

Excellent tracking The pneumatic guide wheels on either side of the pick-up offer height control and adaptation to all conditions. Tracking excellently behind the tractor during the headland turns, they eliminate the risk of scuffing and provide excellent turf protection.

| AX 09/11

Guide wheels at the rear Optional guide wheels at the rear of the unit enhance the overall running and ensure all material is picked up also from soft and wet ground. Not running in the tractor wheelings, these height-adjustable wheels ensure pickup depth is maintained at all times.

Plenty of ground clearance The articulated drawbar with double-acting ram is standard specification and provides for a generous ground clearance of up to 75 cm (2'5.5") enough to roll on clamps without pushing up material.

AX 09/11 |

Cut-and-feed rotor
Go with the flow
High-capacity 760 mm (2'6") feed rotor Extra wide tine plates for less input power High-tensile Hardox steel plates for ultra-long service life

The better way of forage harvesting The 760 mm (2'6") diameter and 1,557 mm (5'1") wide AX helix rotor provides extremely powerful cuts and feeds. The tines feature extra wide feed plates that

provide gentle crop treatment, an enhanced quality of cuts and reduced power input.

10

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/09

Faster loading, easier feeding, better cutting

The AX cut-and-feed rotor combines the benefits of a traditional rotor feeder with those of a swing arm feeder. Powerful yet soft on the crop, this low-maintenance rotor has only a modest power requirement. Depending on model and conditions, the AX self-loading/unloading models can be powered by 80hp+ tractors.

Extra strong driveline The automatically lubricated and 1.5" chain copes with the highest loads and guarantees dependable operation in the heat of harvest.

Hardox for longevity The cut-and-feed unit is exposed to the highest strains; so we made its tine plates and scrapers from Hardox steel to reduce wear and increase the overall service life.

Auto lubrication The pick-up and the rotor drive chain are lubricated automatically for reduced maintenance and added longevity.

The cutting system

Cutting edge
Top-quality and scissor-like cuts Down to 45 mm (1.8") chops by up to 32 knives Automatic system selects 0, 16, 32 knives Individual knife protection

The crop is pulled over the blades The knives cut the crop down their full lengths, so the rotor runs easier and quieter. The wavy blades maintain their sharpness over extended periods of time.

Scissor-like cuts This technique prevents the stem slipping through the narrow clearance between the wide tine plates and the knives, which eliminates the risk of squeezing and guarantees perfect cuts.

12

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Finest quality cuts!

Cutting like scissors... The secret behind this system is its extremely narrow gaps between the wide tine plates and the knives. Up to 32 spring-loaded knives are available and selected by the central knife selection system for quick chop length adjustment.

Cab based control The knife bank lowers hydraulically to remove blockages. Once the blockage is removed, the bank swings back into position and work is resumed.

Individual knife protection Each knife has its own spring-loaded protection, retracting and then returning automatically to its working position after the object has passed.

Automatic knife selection system The central knife selection system makes it easy for the operator to set the desired chop length. AX operators can select sets of 16 or 32 knives and set the nominal chop lengths to 90 mm (3.5") or 45 mm (1.8"). 0 means the system will not chop.

13

AX 09/11 |

Fitting and removing the knives

Its practical and convenient
Knife bank swings out to the side Knives change without tools and lock automatically All knives are changed on the left side

No need to leave the cab The knife bank swings in and out hydraulically and lowers for easy knife changes.

Convenient These controls raise and lower the knife bank for easy maintenance and knife changes. The controls are available on machines that feature the Comfort on-board control system.

14

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Straightforward and convenient

All knife changes are carried out without tools and from one side of the machine after the knife bank swings out a time and cost saving system.

How you do it After you lower the knife bank hydraulically, move the knives to position 0 and unlock them. Then release the knife bank by operating a lever on the left machine side and swing the unit out.

Remove the knives by pulling them up and out of the bank. Its that easy.

As the knife bank swings back in place, it latches automatically on the right machine side.

The body with a difference

Easier loading suggests higher workrates
A sloping floor and a short passage into the load area reduce input power Vertical sides eliminate any bridging effect Wide and sturdy channel-steel frame

Strong The 200 mm (8") high side beams are made from channel steel and combine with a large number of high-tensile stanchions and hotgalvanised, powder coated and plasticlaminated sides to give ultimate durability and strength. The sides are hot-galvanised, powder coated and plastic-laminated. This is quality through and through.

Two chains The models AX 250L, 250 D, 250 GL and 250 GD have two high-tensile conveyor chains with short and 10 mm (0.4") diameter links that enable swift unloading.

Four chains Unlike the AX 250 model, the models AX 280 L, 280 GL and 280 GD have longer bodies that feature four slatted chains.

16

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Advancing to success
AX is designed to cater for on-farm applications. The sloping chain-and-slat floor is an achievement that brings efficiency and easy-loading at the same time.

Powerful advance The hydraulic chain motor varies the floors advance speed infinitely variably. The self-unloading forage wagons feature an additional reversing mechanism that moves the material away from the discharge rollers to solve a malfunction, for example.

Powerful chain-and-slat floor The chain-and-slat floor slopes at the front and thus reduces the length of the passageway and the input power required to feed the material into the load area, which translates into a faster and gentler crop feed. As a result, the AX models can be operated by 80hp+ tractors. The point is made: These wagons deliver the quality of a rotor cutter at the power input of a swing-arm system.

Taking in more
Boosting your efficiency
Automatic loading to capacity - by motion detector and filling level sensor Automatic chain-and-slat floor shut-off system Protects the tailboard from damage Ensures smooth discharge roller start-offs Warrants loading to full capacity

Its safe, too A sensor on the inside of the AX L and GL tailboard stops the chains advance as soon as the body is filled to capacity. The floor automatically stops advancing to protect the tailboard from damage.

The chain-and-slat floor stops automatically When the machine is filled to capacity and material is pushing the bottom rotor to the rear, the motion detector stops the chains for the discharge rotors to start off smoothly.

18

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Wasting not an inch in load space

The AX self-loading/unloading forage wagons are designed to maximize your workrates. KRONEs automatic loading system comprises an extra pre-compression sensor to achieve optimum pre-compression and utilization. An AX will maximize your loading capacities and minimize your transport costs.

Boosting AX capacities Our automatic loading system is an option on our AX models with steel extensions and Comfort electronics. To achieve higher filling levels and better pre-compression, the system uses a pre-compression sensor that sits down in the headboard plus a number of filling levelling detectors at the top. Only after both sensor systems are activated, will the chain-and-slat floor

start moving material to the rear. The system ensures a consistent crop feed to the rear and full exploitation of the machines capacity. The system relieves the operator from the strain of watching the loading process and eliminates the risk of air pockets forming inside the crop.

AX 250 L / AX 280 L
Forage wagons with collapsible extensions
Smooth-running rotor wagon Camless pick-up Sloping chain-and-slat floor Hydraulic extensions operated from the tractor Ideal for entering low buildings

No crop is lost The front tarp cover, multiple ropes and the all-steel tailboard combine to provide effective loading and eliminate the risk of crop loss as the wagon travels on lanes and roads.

No building is too low Thanks to collapsible extensions, the machine passes under low gates and enters low buildings no problem, giving you the flexibility to use it for animal feeding and store it in low buildings.

No need to leave the cab Rams to both sides of the machine operate the collapsible extensions. The rams are controlled from the cab.

20

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Machines of variable build height

The smooth-running AX 250 L und AX 280 L rotor wagons with hydraulic extensions feature advanced loading and unloading technology. As you raise the extensions you increase the machines total capacity to 25 m (883 ft) or 28 m (988 ft) (DIN 11741) and fold them down whenever you enter low buildings.

Open up and over You need the tailboard to open wide and over when unloading from a wagon with extensions up. Two hydraulic rams take care of that. The tailboard locks and unlocks automatically.

Open flat Unloading forage in low buildings asks for a sophisticated design. Here it is: Adjust the linkage that operates the tailboard so it opens flat and does not reach beyond the collapsed extensions.

Pumping out masses of material AX opens wide and over for smooth unloading when the wagon is filled to capacity. Short unloading cycles boost your daily outputs and reduce your transport costs.

21

AX 250 GL / AX 280 GL
Forage wagon with steel extensions
Robust steel extensions, few components Loading to capacity with the automatic loading system Strong chain-and-slat floor with four chains on AX 280 GL

Swift unloading The material moves smoothly to the rear and down vertical and straight sides. The hydraulic chain-and-slat floor with two (AX 250 GL) or four (AX 280 GL) robust chains gives trouble-free and swift unloading.

Folding extensions The extensions fold into the load area to reduce the machines height and make winter storage easier.

22

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Harvesting without losses

The AX 250 GL and AX 280 GL models with strong steel extensions are your professional partner to those who cut fresh forage every day. These 25 m (883 ft) and 28 m (988 ft) rotor wagons (DIN 11741) transport the crop fast and without losses to the clamp. These models, too, feature the sloping chain-and-slat floor and are designed to deliver highest levels of output, efficiency and profitability in forage harvesting.

Neatly packed Steel extensions, the solid tailboard, tarp covers and plenty of ropes all these details combine to haul your chopped silage without losses to the clamp.

Monster mouth The tailboard opens wide and the hydraulic chain-and-slat floor vacates the load area quickly and effectively.

Cab based control The steel tailboard is operated by two singleacting rams on the sides and is locked and unlocked automatically.

AX 250 D
Self-unloading forage wagon with collapsible extensions
Compact dimensions as extensions fold in hydraulically Two massive 470 mm (1'6.5") diameter discharge rollers Discharging at ultimate power Overload protected driveshaft Bottom roller spins at faster speed

Collapsible To enter low buildings, the hydraulic extensions fold in to reduce machine height by approx. 600 mm (2').

Useful All self-unloading forage wagons feature a side door with fold-down ladder. The door is arranged more to the rear to compensate for the heavier load in the front area of the machine.

Direct driveline The power to the discharge rollers flows directly from the main gearbox to the bottom discharge roller.

24

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Our universal model

The AX 250 D version is a 25 m (883 ft) rotor wagon (DIN 11741) with a cutting system that offers 23 selectable knives, collapsible hay extensions and two discharge rollers. Its collapsible hay extensions allow the machine to enter low buildings and pass under low passageways.

1. Massive discharge rollers Two massive discharge rollers ( 470 mm (1'6.5")) have tines arranged in a V to spread the material evenly. The bottom rotor revolves at a higher speed to boost unloading efficiency and crop flow consistency. 2. Everything is synchronized! The roller drive chains are heavy-duty to withstand tremendous loads. Spring-loaded chain tensioners reduce the need for maintenance and enhance the service life of the chains. 3. Spreading layer after laying The discharge rollers unload the material layer by layer and across the full length of the heap for effective clamping. The gearboxes that drive the discharge rollers are extremely heavy duty and overload protected by the main driveshaft.

Cross conveyor belt AX 250 GD and AX 280 GD are available with a hydraulic cross conveyor as an option. After use the belt is easily stored beneath the machine.

Operation The machine is controlled via the onboard Comfort electronic system either from the tractor seat or the control panel on the machine next to the belt.

Discharge to both sides Discharge the feed to either side and adjust the ration by varying floor advance and machine speed as you drive down the passage.

26

| VarioPack 09/11 | AX 10/07

Reaping success
The first step in making quality silage is spreading the material in uniform mats on the clamp. The AX models with steel sides and up to three massive rear rotors discharge the material layer by layer and across the full length of the heap for effective clamping. The chain-and-slat floor slopes at the front and reduces input power and increases the overall capacity.

The heavy-duty driveline Strong chains and spring-loaded chain tensioners transfer the drive power efficiently and without losses to the rollers. A motion detector on the bottom roller shuts off the floor to ensure the rollers start off easily.

The direct driveline The direct driveline warrants dependable unloading. The main driveshaft has an integral overload clutch that protects the rotors and speeds up the unloading process, saving time and boosting the machines efficiency. AX 09/11 |

Three rotors for triple power The large-diameter discharge rollers are very powerful. Specify your forage wagon with an optional third roller and you will spread the material in even more uniform mats. This third rotor is driven by the same sprocket that drives the rotor in the middle.

Enjoy a safe ride

Heavy-duty axles are a must, if you are looking for high capacities and swift travel between the field and clamp. KRONE offers a variety of tandem axle systems that cater for various vehicle weights and requirements. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from using the best equipment for the job at hand.

High-clearance tandem axle with axial draft arms Featuring a high ground clearance and an excellent climb, the lowmaintenance and unsuspended high-clearance tandem axle, which is rated to 10 tons, is the ideal assembly to run on the clamp.

Draft arm guidance This assembly features extra draft arms between the undercarriage and the axles to give maximum stability and easy pulling. The beefy arms pull the axles and provide guidance at the same time for best performance on the clamp and in curves.

Suspended axle assembly The suspended tandem axles with axial draft arms, parabolic springs and equalizer run on large 620/40 R 22.5 TL 148 tyres and are rated to 16,000 kg or 14,000 kg (35,273.6 lbs or 30,864.4 lbs) when small tyres are fitted.

33

AX 09/11 |

Hydraulic auto-levelling
Heavy-duty axles should be a must, if you are looking for high capacities and swift travelling between field and clamp. The caster-steer tandem axle with hydraulic auto-levelling provides superior driver comfort and maximum safety on slopes.

The system The system is made up of two a separate oil circuits, one on each side. So, the oil flows from the cylinder on the front wheel to the cylinder on the rear wheel and vice versa to compensate for undulating ground.

Unfaltering stability The concept of using two separate and enclosed circuits inside one axle assembly eliminates the risk of rolling and maintains the body level at all times.

Gentle on the turf You can lock the caster steer rear axle via a ram to protect the turf during headland turns and the silage on the clamp.

We at KRONE are serious about our aftersales service, because every operator has at least once seen his harvest chain grind down to a halt because of a downed machine - clearly an experience we all can do without. However, when this does happen then every

minute counts. KRONE is aware of that and operates a dense network of professional dealerships, which operate well-stocked warehouses near your operation. For you to get your parts faster.

All specifications, weights and dimensions do not necessarily comply with standard specifications and are therefore not binding.

Original parts are more cost-effective, because they are approved quality that really pays. Havent you been through the experience that your local dealer claimed a part was high-quality and then it turned out that it did not work? Tests conducted

by agricultural magazines have shown that manufacturer-tested quality parts last longer and operate more reliably. Do not compromise on quality and trust in Original KRONE parts.
