KRONE BiG X 680, 780, 860, 980, 1080 & 1180 – High-Capacity Forage Harvesters

The KRONE BiG X 680–1180 forage harvesters are engineered for exceptional output, precision chopping and efficient crop processing in demanding harvesting conditions.

With continuous engine outputs ranging from 687hp to 1,156hp, these high-capacity machines are designed for agricultural contractors, large farming operations and professional biogas production.

Six intake rollers, wide chopping drums and KRONE’s advanced crop-flow technology deliver consistent chop quality and high throughput when harvesting grass, maize and whole-crop silage. A wide choice of chopping drums, conditioners and headers enables each machine to be configured for different crops and chop-length requirements.

Key Features

687–1,156hp Engine Output
Powerful and efficient Liebherr engines provide the performance and power reserves required for intensive, high-output forage harvesting.

Six Intake Rollers
Six hydraulically driven intake rollers compress and present the crop evenly to the chopping drum, helping maintain a consistent chop while providing excellent foreign-object protection.

MaxFlow Chopping Drums
MaxFlow chopping drums are available with 20, 28 or 36 blades, while Biogas drums with 40 or 48 blades are available for short-chop applications.

800mm-Wide Chopping Drum
The wide chopping drum provides high crop capacity, smooth material flow and consistently high chopping quality.

KRONE VariStream
Spring-loaded floors beneath the chopping drum and crop accelerator respond automatically to uneven crop flow, reducing blockages and maintaining high output.

KRONE OptiMaxx Conditioners
High-capacity roller conditioners provide intensive kernel processing and crop treatment for high-quality maize silage.

KRONE VariLOC
VariLOC allows operators to move between long and short chop lengths without changing the chopping drum, providing greater flexibility for livestock and biogas applications.

KRONE VariQuick
VariQuick enables a fast changeover between the grass chute and crop conditioner, reducing downtime when changing between grass and maize harvesting.

Excellent Manoeuvrability
Independent wheel suspension and hydrostatic wheel drive provide impressive manoeuvrability despite the size and power of the machines.

Height-Adjustable Comfort Cab
The cab can be raised to provide an improved view over tall crops and transport vehicles. Ergonomic controls and advanced monitoring systems support the operator during long harvesting days.

Easy Maintenance
Wide-opening panels and accessible service points simplify routine inspection and maintenance, helping reduce downtime during the harvesting season.
