Original Operating Instructions 150001053_00_en
For short and brittle straw
 Reduce the baling pressure, refer to page146.
 Switch off the PTO shaft in the headland.
 Setting a low bale core density, refer to page147.
 Start the tying cycle earlier than indicated.
Driving speed
KRONE recommends a driving speed of 5-12 km/h
The driving speed during the work must be adapted to the following conditions:
• Type of crops
• Moisture content of crops
• Swath height
• Ground conditions
Further hints for filling the bale chamber
• Lower the driving speed during the start and the end of filling.
• At the end of filling, start the tying cycle already while crops are still being picked up. Then,
the round bale in the bale chamber continues to rotate so that the wrapping material is
grabbed automatically.
• It is possible to start picking up crops again while the tailgate is still closing.
8.3 Improving bale chamber filling
8.3.1 Reducing the pressure on the side walls of the bale chamber
If very heavy crops without structure are picked up, the round bales may become very hard and
press on the side walls of the machine. Then reliable rotation of the round bale can be
increased in the bale chamber by taking the following measures:
 To reduce the pressure on the side walls, do not drive too far to the right or left.

To increase reliable rotation of the round bales, additional driver guide rails(1) can be mounted
on the starter roller(2).
The driver guide rails(1) on the starter roller must be mounted inside the bale chamber.
The driver guide rails(1) can be ordered by quoting the following order numbers:
