Krone XDisc 710 Now Fits John Deere, New Holland Foragers
Krone's XDisc 710 direct-cut header can now be used by John Deere and New Holland forage harvesters, as well as the Krone Big X it was originally designed for.
Initially the focus will be on the high-spec 8 and 9 series TTV units, but customers can indent other models in the Warrior configuration all-year-round.
It features an iconic all black exterior colour scheme which is carried through into the cabin with a black, embossed floor mat. It also has a golden bonnet-mounted Warrior badge, a chrome-shielded exhaust stack and full LED lighting package that adds contrast to the dark, black livery.
In the cabin is a leather upholstered, swivel action, Grammer XXL seat, which incorporates its own heating and air-conditioning system to ensure maximum operator comfort on the coldest or hottest days.
Externally, the high-specification, high-output hydraulics systems include hydraulic top links.
Meanwhile, the LED lighting package includes LED headlights and illuminated rear panels for external hitch/PTO controls, with additional lighting strips illuminating the controls on the rear mudguards.
Both the standard (familiar Deutz green) and Warrior 8280 TTV and 9340 TTV tractors feature several high-specification accessories fitted as standard.
A front linkage and PTO system operates in the same manner as the rear system and features position control via an integrated potentiometer. Up front, dry external Knott disc brakes offer maximum stopping power. This combines with a rear hydraulic and pneumatic trailer brake system fitted with additional auxiliary air tanks.
At the rear, the swinging drawbar assembly includes a K80 ball steering hitch system with a forced steering linkage, while a large CCLS hydraulic pump features five pairs of rear remote valves.
These tractors feature Trelleborg or Michelin tyres as standard with integrated factory-supplied over-dimension marker panel kits.
A pneumatically-suspended cabin automatically adjusts to the operator’s weight and works in conjunction with the automated climate air conditioning system for maximum comfort. Also in the cabin are heated, dual pane, electronic rear view mirrors to provide a clear view, and a 12-inch i-Monitor – which offers ISOBUS, auxiliary cameras and Agrosky GPS ready functions.
The i-Monitor offers sophisticated headland management, using time and distance as triggers, alongside the ability to do automated headland turns. New units are also TIM capable, where two-way communication between tractor and implement provides a new level of ISOBUS integration.
Xtend allows operators to use a tablet as an additional in-cabin screen, access remote support and it integrates with Deutz-Fahr’s connected farming systems package.
Other features include unlocked services to Omnistar HP/G2 or the latest Starpoint correction services (when purchased with GPS), unlocked for section and rate control, with up to 200 individual sections.
