Please contact the KRONE dealer if the number of small bales shall be increased to 9. In case
of 9 small bales, the variable length of the small bales is 30 - 135 cm. If you have set more than
6 small bales, there is an increased chance of knotter problems.
•
In order to minimise wear in the parts, lock both needle yokes via perforated bar (4) if the
“MultiBale” function is not required for an extended period of time.
•
If the “MultiBale” function is selected on the terminal when the needle yoke is locked, this
function will not be executed. An error message is shown in the display of the terminal.
•
As the enitre bale is held by three twines, make sure to use a high-quality twine (100-130 m/
kg) when working with “MultiBale”.
•
Cut through the twines (a,c,e) in order to loosen the entire bale into small bales.

Layer thickness of the small bale/number of layers
The bale length and the number of small bales (from 2 to 9) must only be set at the beginning of
a big bale to get ideal small bales. The layer thicknesses of the small bales must be a multiple
of the length of the small bale. The layer thickness is shown on the display while the swath is
picked up. The layer thickness depends on the travelling speed and the uniformity of the swath.
The faster you drive, the thicker the layer thickness. It is more difficult to get an ideal small bale
if the travelling speed is high. Do not select layer thicknesses exceeding 17 cm/6.6 inch.
Determining the length of the small bales
The length of the small bale (b) is determined by the length of the big bale (a) divided by the
number of small bales.
b=a/number of small bales
Example
The length of the big bale (a) is 240 cm/94 inch. 5 small bales are required.
b=240 cm/5
b=48 cm
b=94 inch/5
b=19 inch
Determining the optimum layer thickness
The layer thickness (c) is calculated from the length of the small bale (b) divided by the number
(z) of the desired layers.
c=b/z
Based on a length of the small bale of 48 cm/19 inch in the top example, the following layer
thicknesses derive depending on the number of layers.
