Love the Krone baler review thank you. I have a 4*5 foot Fortimer Krone round baler. Us Aussies only have 4 foot wide round bales. Good for transport. We wrap our silage with a McHale wrapper. We cart our silage bales 18 at a time with our Hay hiker from Canada. My 89 year old father drives the hay hiker. Then wrap them off the field near our sheds. Then there is no risk of ripping wrap.
As a german now livin in the US i love seeing you enjoying the german engineered farming equipment or you speaking so highly of your JCB and your Horsch avatar, thats so different from what you see on US farms.
When it comes down to just appearances, that Duetz Fahr is a badass lookin tractor. Only farming i do is on Farming Simulator, and if I'm not using John Deere it's the DF. Unless i need a lot of HP then it's Fendt
The front load on the net wrap looks maybe a little overly complicated to me compared to my rear load. Wonder how that system will hold up over time through regular farmer use. Making nice bales. Sure want to make sure the feed is uniformly dry to pack it that tight or a guy could run into spoilage issues.
We sure liked the system on this baler, it was fast to load when you aren't trying to film yourself! Haha, especially like being able to carry 3 rolls of wrap!
Well David, you might have just found the goliath of round balers. Lets talk safety in transportation with 4' bales, seems like we have been doing something very wrong with wide loads for no reason. No other baler can go that fast and still pick up everything clean like that, or at least not that i have seen.
Yes 1250lbs is a hair light, but we were 8.5-9.5% moisture. The weather was incredibly hot here this summer and we had a tough time getting moisture INTO our hay. These bales would have been heavier if we could have had higher moisture in the hay. Thanks for watching our video!
Thanks for the comment @ogre.79. Our hay is also typically 1450-1500lb bales when we can bale with some moisture. This year, it was quite challenging due to the hot weather.
We upgraded to a KuhnVB 560 and made 450 1600 lbs bales in 12 hours. They are a beast, only needed to run one baler instead of 2 this year. Never got out of the cab to unplug once.
Those are great numbers as well @farmer_gage7120. The purpose of this speed statistic was to show the processing speed capable with this baler in 2.5 to 3 ton to the acre hay. Thanks for watching our video!
I've never run the continuous baler, sounds interesting. So far we are impressed with the possibility of hitting 500 -700 bales per day if we had big enough fields. Thanks for watching!
I'm hearing if you are a small farm and buy krone equipment if you have a problem krone will not help you out. That's enough to tell me not to buy there equipment. I always looked and used at there equipment now after hearing his story I will never buy krone equipment again
I have had the opposite experience with Krone but my experience has never been the company itself my dealer or their Krone representative has taken care of me.
We are a small farm as well, Both our local dealer (Noble Equipment) as well as Krone provide us with excellent service. Aside from the high performance of their equipment, their service is a major reason we like our Krone gear as much as we do.
The stupidest farmers are those who rely on hearsay. You should always ask yourself who is saying this and why. Krone has very good customer service. And why? If you want to conquer a foreign market, you have to satisfy the customers. And you can only do that if you don't let them down. So next time, think a little before you rely on hearsay from people who have probably never seen a Krone machine, let alone used one. Knowledge is power and relying only on stupid chatter from fanboys of JD, Case etc. makes you a gullible person know-nothing

That's awesome!!! Those hay hikers are great machines too! Thanks for watching, and don't forget to cherish those moments working with your dad!

Thanks @chrisd531 for watching. We are very happy with our German and European equipment right now. It fits our operation perfectly 👌
Wish you could try baling straw behind a rotary combine. That’s the big test
I've been waiting for this video! The baler is really impressive!
Glad we could deliver it for you! Thanks for watching!
That's a sweet round baler !
We thought so too, thanks for watching!
I thought by the title you were going to be trying a McHale 😉
I second that
Hahaha thanks for watching!! Considering....

Thanks for the comment and watching our video! I completely agree with the styling of the Deutz Fahr tractors!
New holland front mount net warp as well and it works really good
For sure, the front mounts aren't anything to be afraid of anymore! Haha
Krone is 2nd to none in the hay and forage equipment.

Couldn't agree with you more @farmerjimmy9600!
Looks good - but no McHale V8
I’d love to see that go head to head with a McHale 5600.
Maybe one day we can make that happen for you! Thanks for watching!
You Say this baler is New....... We just bought 3 XT 190 vARI-CORE Balers Our last baling We averaged 45 4x6 bales per hour per baler........
The 5x6 bales would still weigh more than 1250 lbs no? That baler looks pretty slick though
1250 is a light 5x6 bale, we make 1450 to 1600 +

@@farminainteasy yeah that's real dry good point. First time you needed one of those steamers up here like they use in the southern states

your only going 8.5 Mph ....If the field is smooth enough I go 10 Mph with our JD 560M and the neighbor sometimes goes 12 mph with his new holland 560
Those are great numbers as well @farmer_gage7120. The purpose of this speed statistic was to show the processing speed capable with this baler in 2.5 to 3 ton to the acre hay. Thanks for watching our video!
@@farminainteasy This Krone is still an impressive machine!
The Krone continuous round baler would eat that thing every day?
You want to do 50 bales less every day?
I've never run the continuous baler, sounds interesting. So far we are impressed with the possibility of hitting 500 -700 bales per day if we had big enough fields. Thanks for watching!
