Constant, safe and convenient Six pre-compression rollers and an 820 mm gap between the leading roller with metal detector and the rearmost roller not only enhance pre-compression but also protect the knives better against metal objects at high-speed intake. The hydraulic drive shaft automatically adjusts the LOC in line with the maturity of the crop, which is detected by the KRONE AutoScan sensor. If the engine speed drops below 1200 rpm as the load increases, the header and intake system are stopped automatically while the cutterhead continues to turn – because blockages caused by too low speeds cost time and money.
