  • Flexible – bale diameter in 6 stages from 1.25 m to 1.50 m
  • Affordable – Simple design

The ComPack F and CF Pro from KRONE are fixed chamber balers with a semi-variable bale chamber. They can be used to bale highly compacted and dimensionally stable bales in six different diameters. Built from heavy-duty components they are extremely solid and sturdy. They are also very cost-effective and exceptionally easy to operate and service – thanks to their uncluttered build and design.

Reliable bale transfer
Reliable bale transfer

After the bale chamber opens the bale is transferred to the wrapping table by a lever. Activated only after the gauge roller senses a high weight, this lever transfers the bale safely to the wrapping table.

How the system works
How the system works

The ComPack F 155 XC Pro can produce bales with a diameter of 1.25 m to 1.50 m. Operators simply set the required bale diameter in 5 cm increments on an easy-to-use system. The semi-variable bale chamber produces a softer and very small core – also in large-diameter bales. This gives the bales a great density, helps them retain their shape and makes them heavier.

[Translate to EN:] Die ComPack F 155 XC Pro kann Ballen mit 1,25 m bis 1,50 m Durchmesser pressen. Mit einer einfach zu bedienenden Steckerverstellung wird der gewünschte Ballendurchmesser in 5-cm-Schritten vorgewählt. Die semivariable Ballenkammer erzeugt auch bei großem Ballendurchmesser stets einen sehr kleinen weicheren Kern. Dadurch sind die Ballen sehr dicht, formstabil und schwer.

  • Variable – Bale diameter infinitely variable from 1.00 m to 1.50 m
  • Convenient – Baling pressure can be electrically adjusted from the cabin

Uncompromising stability for the toughest continuous use and great flexibility – the KRONE ComPack V and CV Pro set new standards. The bale diameter can be infinitely adjusted from 1.00 m to 1.50 m and the baling pressure can be adjusted electrically from the cabin to suit different crops and operating conditions.

Effective and reliable
Effective and reliable

The operator simply enters the pressure, the diameter, and the number of film and net wraps. Once this is done, the combination will go about its business fully automatically. The bale is transferred to the wrapping table by a lever – the bale lifter.

Setting the soft core
Setting the soft core

The ComPack allows the baling density to be infinitely adjusted in three zones directly from the terminal. The belt tension can be used to achieve different baling pressures in the various bale areas. This ensures that the bales are optimally baled for their intended use – for example, with maximum density for long transport distances or with a soft core for subsequent drying.

Tensioning device
Tensioning device

The bale diameter is measured by an angle sensor on the tensioning arm and the information is fed to the operator terminal so you can change the setting from the cab. The increasing pressure on the elevator ensures a uniform bale density.

The variable ComPack V 150 Pro
The variable ComPack V 150 Pro

The ComPack V 150 XC Pro with variable bale chamber allows the driver to infinitely adjust the desired bale diameter from 1.00 m to 1.50 m on the operating terminal in the tractor cabin. This significantly expands its range of applications. Smaller bale sizes are often preferred in silage whereas larger bales are more typical in hay and straw.

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
  • Reliable – 6 mm thick, w-shaped double tines with large coil diameter
  • A clean rake – extra wide pick-up for thorough, consistent and clean rakes
  • Simple and effective – no cam track means fewer moving parts, less service and maintenance and extremely quiet running

The EasyFlow pick-up pivots sideways and is known as the pick-up that clears the field effectively even in the most difficult conditions and at high work rates. More than that, its rugged build with very few moving parts gives an exceptionally dependable performance.

The tines are 6 mm thick and have large-diameter coils – two properties that make them particularly resistant and hard-wearing. Arranged in five helical rows on the EasyFlow rotor and spaced at narrow 55 mm, they allow EasyFlow to pick up even short and heavy crops without losses.

Camless and good
Camless and good

KRONE has good reasons to opt against cam track control for the EasyFlow pick-up tines. Instead of using many moving parts that are prone to wear, KRONE prefers special strippers that ensure the angle and length of the tines is always correct.

The EasyFlow pick-up
The EasyFlow pick-up

The EasyFlow pick-up offers a 2.15 m work width for ultimate work rates. Its double tines are arranged in a W-line to reliably pick up even the widest swaths and feed the material in an extremely consistent flow to the rotor cutter. Thanks to the generous width it is not necessary to travel through very tight turns while the machine is baling. More than that, the pivoting and spring-loaded EasyFlow provides perfect ground contouring even in very rough terrain.
