Whether dense grass, high field forage or difficult meadows – the EasyCut B models are up to every challenge. They perfectly adapt to the ground conditions and reliable follow the contour. The result: Even cuts without any compromise.

The KRONE cutterbar

• Fully welded cutterbar: Robust, sealed and permanently lubricated
• Durable satellite drive with large spur wheels: Very quiet running and optimum power transmission
• Without inner shoe for trouble-free mowing

The completely welded cutterbar meets the highest quality standards, will remain leaktight and retain its shape even after long-term use. 

The large, oil-immersed spur wheels withstand sustained peak loads and are particularly quiet during operation.

KRONE SmartCut and spreading modes

• The wedge-shaped cutterbar guarantees clean cuts
• Heavy-duty spur gears run in double bearings
• Widely spaced bearings
• Swathing or wide spreading depending on needs

The wedge-shaped cutterbar offers great flexibility to adjust through a large range of settings and leave a short stubble in meadows and pastures as well as long stubble in long-stemmed forage crops. An EasyCut mower delivers a reliable performance and clean cut.

The KRONE quick-change blade system

• Quick-change blades are standard specification, allowing operators to swap blades in the field quickly
• Modular disc design
• Minimum blade wear: 360° blade Action
• Excellent cuts from SmartCut: Optimum blade overlap

There are many reasons for choosing an EasyCut disc mower. Just think of the quick-change blades, the inexpensive wear parts and the perfect disc arrangement for stripeless cuts.

The KRONE SafeCut system

• Fully protected drives for greater reliability
• No collision with neighbouring cutting discs
• Wear-free
• Quick-change roll pins for minimum downtime and costs

Colliding discs may cause damage and involve costly repairs. ­­KRONE SafeCut offers maximum protection. The award winning system on all EasyCut models offers a unique level of protection and operator comfort. SafeCut is part of the basic equipment of all EasyCut F series disc mowers.

The KRONE DuoGrip centre-of-gravity suspension

• Patented DuoGrip attachment of the cutterbar: Mounted in the centre of gravity and controlled by parallel arms
• Uniform bearing pressure across the entire work width
• Optimum guidance: Less side pull, clean cuts
• Continuous suspension for superb contouring and sward protection

The ­­KRONE DuoGrip suspends the EasyCut mowers in their centre of gravity and guides them with suspension arms. This design allows the cutterbar to follow the ground contours even more accurately for a better protection of the sward. and high-quality forage even in difficult conditions.

The ­­KRONE tine conditioner

• V-shaped steel tines at steep angles give intensive and perfect conditioning
• The driveline dispenses with belts for frictional and low-maintenance Connections
• Great operator comfort from mechanical conditioner gearbox
• Adjustable baffle plates for enhanced conditioning

Efficiency is one parameter in hay and forage harvesting, quality is another. The high-performance KRONE CV conditioner with V-shaped steel tines spreads the crop at the full working width. The 640 mm diameter rotor and the helical arrangement of the tines warrant a continuous crop flow, high throughputs and superior conditioning.

The KRONE CR roller conditioners

The roller conditioner models (polyurethane rollers or M-Rolls)

• The roller conditioner models (rubber rollers or M-Rolls)
• Consistent crop flow by 25 cm diameter rollers
• High throughput from powered crop processor rollers
• Top quality from profiled rollers – thanks to their ‘meshing effect’
• Choice of roller conditioners – polyurethane rollers or steel M-Rolls

Leafy crops like Lucerne or clovers require a different type of conditioning than crops that are predominantly grass. The CR roller conditioners give particularly gentle treatment, leaving the delicate leaves intact which are so rich in protein and safeguarding the value of the feed. Spreading the crop will speed up wilting.

The KRONE Collect system

• Variable swath width by means of optional accelerator rollers
• Tractor-independent oil supply through on-board hydraulic system
• Automatic activation and deactivation of the cross conveyor belts
• Divided conditioner tray for loss-free crop transfer
• Extra wide 910 mm cross conveyor belts handle large volumes of crop

The ­­KRONE Collect system offers multiple setting options suitable for the most diverse applications around the world. The ­­KRONE Collect cross conveyor belts deliver clean and perfect swaths that are easily picked up by the following harvesters for loss-free harvests.

Resettable cross conveyor belts

The swath width of the EasyCut B CV and CR Collect can be preset by means of a hole pattern. The fine adjustment in keeping with the harvesting conditions is made via the belt speed and the optional accelerator rollers.
