DUOGRIP

The DuoGrip system suspends the machine in its centre of gravity and gives lateral control
Uniform ground pressure across the entire work width
Optimum guidance: Less lateral drag, clean cuts
Short and heavy-duty beam

A clean cut is fundamental for producing clean forage and it is attributed to the special design of the cutterbar and also of the suspension. The special KRONE DuoGrip suspension system suspends the disc mower in its centre of gravity and provides lateral guidance at the same time. Maintaining a consistent ground pressure across the full work width, the design produces cleanest cuts whilst resulting in light pull and optimum side control.

Spreading the load: The parallelogram linkage absorbs lateral forces and guides the unit in direction of travel. At the same time, it helps reduce the load on the jib and the suspension system at the machine’s centre of gravity.

Robust: The jib mounts on a pin that pivots in a ball socket, providing plenty of movement and exemplary contouring.

Suspended in its centre of gravity rather than centrally: Maintaining a uniform pressure across the entire work width is a requirement that is thoroughly met by Krone disc mowers, courtesy of a gearbox that is arranged on the inside of the machine where it shifts the centre of gravity to the side. This, the short jib and two extra braces give maximum stability while keeping the weight down – and delivering best results in rough going.

SAFECUT

Full driveline protection
Neighbouring discs will not collide
No wear and damage
Quick roll pin change, minimum costs

Foreign objects can cause great damage and costly repairs. Not so if the KRONE SafeCut is in place, which allows the discs to move away from obstacles for maximum productivity and comfort. Our DLG award winning disc protection system is a base specification on all EasyCut models.

An ideal system: As the discs are spinning, they place no load on the roll pins, because the bearings are tensioned by a nut and two clamping screws. As a result, the roll pins do not suffer from material fatigue and even after many hours of operation they will break only at their inbuilt load level.

Peace of mind: Instead of transferring the full shockload to the spur gears, the roll pin in the sprocket driveshaft breaks when there is a momentary overload. The pinion shaft continues spinning, jacking up the disc in question and the disc moves out of the risk zone and the orbit of the neighbouring discs. This way SafeCut prevents damage to the spur gears and the neighbouring discs. Replacing the roll pin takes a few minutes and is not very costly.

SMARTCUT

Wedge-shaped cutterbar for cleanest cuts
Heavy-duty spur gears run in double bearings which are spaced at wide gaps
Swathing or spreading
Hard-faced skids

The wedge-shaped cutterbar adjusts through a large setting range to cut short stubble in meadows and pastures and longer stubble in longstemmed field crops. EasyCut cuts blockage-free and clean. Benefitting from massive double spur gear bearings that are spaced at large gaps, the cutterbars are heavy-duty and hardwearing.

Forget about stripes With some discs turning in pairs towards each other and others away from each other, it was necessary to redesign the degree of blade overlap to ensure cleanest cuts. Therefore we increased the overlap between those discs that turn outwards – a modification that leads to stripeless cuts in light and young material. Vice versa, a larger gap between the blades that turn towards each other encourages the smooth flow of large masses to the rear.

Spreading across the full width: The EasyCut models, with discs spinning in the ‘B’ sense of rotation, spread the material across the machine width. All discs spin in pairs. Material that is spread across the full machine width will dry faster and more evenly.

EASYCUT R

3.60 m or 4.04 m (10'4" or 13'3") working width
Double windrowing or spreading
Hydraulic suspension control as an option
Excellent value for Money

The high-capacity EasyCut R 360 and R 400 mowers are mounted machines that score on enormous work rates and productivity, performing equally well in forage harvesting and field extensification.

Three-point headstock: These two models have particularly strong headstocks. They can move sideways and the lower link pins can be refitted to adjust to suit different tractor track widths and to team up with a front mower.

Spreading across the full width: Spreading the material leads to faster wilting because it exposes a larger surface to the sun and wind, leading to very high-quality forage and fewer losses.

Spreading across the full width (B sense of rotation): The discs on the EasyCut R 360 and R 400 models work in pairs, with two discs running with opposed action spreading the material across the full width. Forming two swaths (A sense of rotation): This is an option for those who try to avoid running over the cut crops. These models have only the central discs run with opposed action, producing two swaths.

EasyCut R 360 in road transport: The EasyCut R 360 model swings up and beyond TDC behind and very close to the tractor improving ride comfort especially on small tractors.

The EasyCut R 400 moves hydraulically into the transport position behind the tractor and folds up the front curtain. This turns the machine into a narrow, low-profile transport unit for smooth passage underneath bridges and through gates and for safe travel on public roads.

Manual or hydraulic ground pressure control
Low-maintenance and frictional driveline without belts
KRONE SafeCut cutterbar protection is a standard feature
Cantilever guards ensure smooth crop flows

Are you looking for a powerful mower that works at a width of about 3 metres (9'10")? Then the KRONE EasyCut R 280 and R 320 disc mowers with DuoGrip system are for you. Their DuoGrip centre-of-gravity suspension system with manual or hydraulic spring control, the unique impact damage protection system and the optimized cutterbar for stripeless cuts are just some of the selling points.

The EasyCut R 280 and EasyCut R 320 models use springs to provide suspension. The tension is adjusted manually or hydraulically as an option to optimize ground contour following at high work rates.

Covering the full width: EasyCut R 280 and EasyCut R 320 have adjustable lower link pins that allow the machine to run offset behind the tractor and cut at full width at any track width, on side slopes and in combination with a front mower.

Automatic folding: When the mower moves into transport position, the guard folds back to reduce the transport height. When the machines lowers into work position the guard, too, moves back into work position.

The trailer bed up/down service will do: A single-acting ram with accumulator is fine to raise the EasyCut R 280 and R 320 models into headland and transport position.

A unique KRONE design: The vertical storage position saves space in the machine shed. The optional stands give the machine good footing and are useful for attachment and removal. But of course EasyCut R 280 and EasyCut R 320 also store in horizontal position.

Continuous crop flow from 25 cm (10") diameters
High throughputs from powered processor rollers
Top-notch conditioning effect from meshing surfaces
Great longevity from rubber coating

CR roller conditioner: The Chevron profiled crop processor rollers interlock to provide thorough treatment across the full working width. The gap between the rollers, the pressure and the swath boards are steplessly adjustable.

600 rpm or 900 rpm: Efficient and powerful drive for the CV conditioner comes from this fourgroove belt. Change the speed from 600 rpm to 900 rpm and vice versa by swapping the pulley.

Minimum space: Stands are available as an option to store the machine either in work or transport position – saving space in the machine shed.

Thorough protection: The folding side and front guards are lined by rubber strips that protect them from damage when colliding with obstacles.

Easy and quick operation
Optional wide spreading crop deflectors
Infinitely variable windrow width
Mechanical gearbox, variable intensity conditioning

The KRONE CV rotor with V-shaped and grippy steel tines spreads the crop at the full working width. Its massive 64 cm (2'1") diameter and the helical arrangement of the tines warrant a continuous crop flow, high throughputs and superior conditioning.

Full-width treatment: The tine conditioners on each mower span across the work width from the left to the right top hat, providing a uniform and consistent crop flow across the full width and giving optimum conditioning.

Firm grip on the crop: Made from hardened steel and mounted at a steep angle, the V-shape steel tines give intensive treatment and powerful action. The tines pivot to break back when they hit an object whereas their restricted forward angle increases the pivot pin’s longevity.

Adjustable baffle plate The lever notches the plate/tine clearance to the required setting. As you reduce the gap you increase the intensity of conditioning.

Mechanical gearbox: Select 900 rpm for intensive treatment and 600 rpm for less intensive conditioning. Setting the speed is easy from the gearshift lever.

Two suspension springs: Their conditioners make EasyCut R 280 CV and EasyCut R 320 CV heavier machines, which require two springs to receive proper suspension. The springs adjust manually or hydraulically as an option.

Minimum space: Stands are available as an option to store the machine either in work or transport position – saving space in the machine shed.

Thorough protection: The folding side and front guards are lined by rubber strips that protect them from damage when colliding with obstacles.

THE CUTTERBAR

Fully welded cutterbar – strong in build, leak proof and permanently lubricated
Long-lasting satellite gears with massive spur gears make for quiet running and maximum efficiency
No inner shoe – no blockages

Fully welded and permanently lubricated, the cutterbar shows no leaks and no deformations even after many years of service. Its massive and oilimmersed spur gears impress by very quiet and reliable running under constant peak loading. And of course quick-change blades and the SafeCut cutterbar protection system are standard specification.

Leak proof and robust: To meet the highest quality standards we use advanced robot welding and CNC technology in the manufacture of our fully welded and permanently lubricated cutterbars. After all, the cutterbar is at the heart of every disc mower.

The original: The KRONE developed satellite driveline comprises massive spur gears with up to 66 teeth which transfer the power all the way down to the very last disc. Revolving at lower speeds, the large-diameter gears always have a number of teeth in mesh at any one time, giving quiet running, ultimate efficiency and maximum longevity. With each of the auxiliary gears driving just one disc, it is exposed to only minimum mechanical strain.

SAFE ROAD TRAVEL

The machine folds beyond the vertical transport position
Low transport height, optimum weight distribution, excellent visibility
Hydraulic headland control
No need to operate the tractor linkage
Huge angle of travel

Implementing a large work width on a mower poses a special challenge to the designers who have to reconcile demands for high work rates with those for good transport and contouring qualities. The solutions are reflected by the KRONE Z-form, the low pivot point, the over-centre transport position and the headland position that does not require operating the tractor’s link arms. KRONE disc mowers offer safe travel and best cuts even in difficult conditions.

Fold it from the seat: The machine swings hydraulically into an upright position and beyond the dead centre point. The single-acting ram on the EasyCut R 280 and R 320 models employs an accumulator to move the machine into a 110° position whereas the EasyCut R 320 CV and R 360 models use a double-acting ram to swing the machine into a 124° position. Both versions fold the mower actively up and down for smooth and easy changeovers.

Large pivoting range: Designed like a Z, the arm offers 29°/20° up/down travel for easy bank and verge mowing.

Low transport height: Folding into transport position, the ‘Z’-arm pivots low to the ground to reduce transport height. At the same time, its high ground clearance makes for safe travel on worn-out roads.

Safe road travel: The special design shifts the machine weight to the middle of the tractor, distributing it more uniformly across the axle and the linkage for better ride quality and better visibility in the rear-view mirrors. There is nothing in the way that might obstruct your view.

HIGH WORK RATES AND CLEAN CUTS

Break-back system and minimum ground pressure

Central control suspension springs guarantee uniform cuts at optimum pressure
Control the pressure by refitting pins and without tools
Adjust the pressure hydraulically and on the move (option)
Two-fold impact damage protection

Adjusting the ground pressure is easy: Adjusting the spring tension manually is easy and straightforward, because you simply refi t the pin. Increase the tension to decrease the ground pressure.

Hydraulic control from the seat: Enjoy superior operator comfort from the hydraulic suspension control system. Adjust the pressure flexibly on the move and release the spring tension from the seat before you remove the mower from the tractor.

Fully protected: The standard impact damage protection system on EasyCut R models gives you peace of mind as you work along borders, fences and hedges and suddenly collide with an obstacle. When the system trips, the mower swings 1.20 m (3'11") to the rear and up to 40 cm (1'3") up and clear out of any obstacle. After the obstacle has been passed, the mower swings automatically back into work position.
