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.
Said to offer best in class visibility and an industry-leading 4m turning radius, the narrow steep-nosed bonnet lends itself to front end loader operations. The range also combines options such as front axle suspension, a high payload and greater linkage capacity to be a serious performer in the paddock and on the road.
The MF 5S Series offers five models from 105hp to 145hp. Models come with the choice of Essential or Efficient specifications, which provide a range of performance enhancing features to suit all types of farms and applications.
All models are powered by the AGCO Power 4.4-litre, four-cylinder engines with straightforward 'All in One' SCR technology. Transmission choice is the well-proven Dyna-4 or Dyna-6 configurations. The tractors are also equipped with the Brake-to-Neutral feature, which disengages drive when the brakes are applied.
Ideally suited for loader operations, a closed-centre high-flow hydraulics offers up to 110 litres/min. This is controlled via a multi-function joystick, while the optional Visio Roof format provides a clear view of the attachment through the whole lifting range.
With Efficient models, a new armrest, as used in the recently launched MF 8S range, houses the Multipad joystick that controls several functions – including forward/ reverse shuttle, linkage and spool valves.
At the rear, a robust three-point linkage, offers lift capacity up to 6,000kg – 14% more than the previous models. Meanwhile, up front and developed for mounting with the new suspended axle, the latest front linkage is designed to integrate with the optional suspended axle to deliver 3,000kg capacity.
Thanks to its impressive 9.5t Gross Vehicle Weight, a 12% increase over previous models, the MF 5S can also safely carry and handle larger loads.
All MF 5S Series tractors can be fully connected with MF Connect telemetry option. This includes options such as a Geofencing function to improve logistics management and security, using alerts smart devices if – and when – machines leave or enter pre-defined areas.
Datatronic 5 also offers a Smart Farming Suite, with functions that include MF Guide automatic steering, MF Section Control and Rate Control. This can handle and manage up to 96 sections, three booms and five products.
