2025 Krone BiG Pack 1290 (BP 405-10)

Even after more than 25 years of big baler production in Spelle, there is no sign of any let-up in the sheer innovative strength of the KRONE engineering team, as is evident from the new series of BiG Pack balers. Over several years of intensive development, they have come up with a completely new generation of BiG Pack balers which incorporate many well-known technologies and, above all, offer a significant increase in comfort. Almost all of the existing features have been upgraded and adapted to user requirements. The Variable Filling System, the unique MultiBale system, and the camless EasyFlow pick-up with mechanical-drive rotor (Active Pick-up) are the landmark features that have won international recognition and underpin the success of BiG Pack. Based on this design, the new generation of BiG Pack models is now being launched.
