The variable chamber round balers Fortima V 1500 and V 1800 meet all requirements. One machine produces 1.00 m to 1.50 m (3'3" - 4'11") or 1.00 to 1.80 m (3'3" - 5'11") diameter bales to cater for grass silage applications where smaller bale sizes are preferred as well as applications in hay and straw where larger bales are typical.

The hitch options and the running gears

• Auto-levelling in undulating terrain
• Outstanding operator comfort
• Excellent tracking

Special conditions require special equipment. To meet all our customers' requirements, Fortima is available with a wide range of running gear. Choose from standard and tandem setups, braked and unbraked versions as well as air and hydraulic brakes (export version).

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up

• Impeccable pick-up for higher outputs
• Smooth running
• Minimum wear – minimum maintenance

EasyFlow is a camless pick-up. The advantage of this is plain to see - a simple assembly uses fewer moving parts than controlled pick-ups with cam tracks and results in extremely quiet running, less wear and ultimately lower service and maintenance costs. EasyFlow – a powerful system that leaves no stem behind.

The KRONE MultiCut cutting system

• Top cutting quality by controlled cuts
• 64 mm (2.5") chops by the full set of 17 blades
• Quick LOC change by selecting a different number of blades in the cutting system

Up to 17 blades in the KRONE MultiCut rotor cutting system deliver short chops that make for quick payback on your investment thanks to higher bale densities, enhanced silage quality as well as easier and faster bale break-up on the feeding floor. Short straw chops absorb liquids more readily, spread more easily.

The KRONE chain-and-slat elevator

• High baling densities
• Effective bale starts
• Less fragmentation
• Low power input

Round balers harvest straw, hay and wilted silage around the world in a wide variety of conditions that require full operational reliability. The chain-and-slat elevators respond to these requirements and operate dependably in all these conditions.
