Krone BaleCollect

The BaleCollect platform can store up to three bales that leave a 120 cm chamber or up to five bales from an 80 cm chamber. When a bale leaves the chamber it is pushed to the right or left side by a bar, clearing the way for the next bale to enter the platform. All bales are automatically pushed off the platform according to the unloading mode selected by the operator.

Depending on the individual harvest and process chain, customers may want to have their bales deposited in specific patterns. To suit individual needs, BaleCollect offers five different strategies or modes of depositing the bales in the field. The ‘3 bales” or ‘3+1 bales’ modes are used to unload all bales on or near the headland. By comparison, silage bales will be deposited to the ‘2 bales side by side’ mode or the ‘2 bales apart’ mode. These strategies are selected in harvest chains where the following wrapper is wrapping two silage bales into one pack or even picks up the bales itself. Of course, the operator can also push off the bales manually at any time by pressing a button.
