Krone has expanded the XCollect series of maize headers, first launched in 2018 in a three-piece configuration and working widths from 6m to 9m.
The new XCollect 750-2 two-piece attachment is a 10-row model with a working width of 7.5m.
Most uniquely, it is equipped with the RotoChop integrated mulcher designed to destroy maize stubble, reducing disease and pest pressure and leaving a cleaner finish.
A major benefit of mulching at the point of cutting, aside from saving time, is that stalks are not flattened or pushed into the soil by wheels, affecting mulching results when done at a later stage.
The flails break up the stubble below the first joint of the stalk and therefore accelerate the rotting process of crop residues.
This prevents the larvae of insect pests, such as the European corn borer, and spores of Fusarium fungi in particular from overwintering and reproducing.
Mulching units
The individual mulching units can be lifted and lowered hydraulically from the cab at the touch of a button. This is helpful in temporarily changing ground conditions, such as tracks, or in wet conditions.
If the mulchers are overloaded by foreign objects, the corresponding mulching units are briefly lifted and then lowered again.
The individual mulching units can be lifted and lowered hydraulically from the cab at the touch of a button.
If mulching is not required, the mulching unit, which is driven by a separate gearbox, can simply be switched off and swivelled upwards.
The two lateral frames of the maize header can be folded vertically to ensure that transport width, including the mulcher, is only 3m wide.
The mulching units are positioned in such a way that they are orientated with the narrow side facing the driver for the most vision possible.
As an optional extra, a fully integrated hydraulic transport chassis is available for the XCollect to reduce front axle loading.
