2025 Krone BiG Pack 1290 HighSpeed

One step ahead – with a KRONE BiG Pack. Whether you are making heavier, rock-hard bales with the BiG Pack HDP II or tying up to nine small bales neatly into one big bale with the MultiBale system, you’ll always be ahead of the ?eld, using ?rst-time innovations you won’t ?nd anywhere else. By buying a KRONE big baler you’re investing in experience and expertise in baler design. With so much experience under its belt, KRONE knows exactly what farmers need in the ?eld and offers a complete range of balers with different chamber dimensions. The Variable Filling System, the unique MultiBale system and the camless EasyFlow pick-up with mechanical-drive rotor (Active Pick-up) are the stand-out features that have won international recognition and underpin the great success of the KRONE BiG Pack.
