For short and brittle straw
Reduce the baling pressure,
Reduce the number of blades in the cutting unit or completely swivel out the blades,
.
Start the tying cycle earlier than indicated.
To largely prevent short, brittle straw from falling out of the bale chamber when driving from
one swath to the next swath, switch off the PTO shaft in the meantime.
Driving speed
KRONE recommends a driving speed of 5-12 km/h
The driving speed during the work must be adapted to the following conditions:
•
Type of crops
•
Moisture content of crops
•
Swath height
•
Ground conditions
Additional tips for filling the bale chamber
•
Reduce the driving speed at the start and at the end of the filling process.
•
Crops can already be picked up again while the tailgate is still closing.
•
When the cutter blades are swivelled in, the bale density increases. For this reason, the
baling pressure must be reduced,

Improving bale chamber filling
8.3.1
Reducing the pressure on the side walls of the bale chamber
If very heavy crops without structure are picked up, the round bales may become very hard and
press on the side walls of the machine. Then reliable rotation of the round bale can be
increased in the bale chamber by taking the following measures:
To reduce the pressure on the side walls, do not drive too far to the right or left.
Take the outer blades out of the cutting unit or completely switch off the cutting unit.
