Round balers
KRONE VariPack is a belt baler that was specifically designed for baling dry crops. The design focuses on simple technology, high throughputs and high baling densities.

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
The wide EasyFlow pick-up makes sure no haulm is left on the ground even in difficult conditions and when working at high speeds. Thanks to its clutter-free build that relies on only very few moving parts, the unit stands out for minimum wear and maximum longevity.
The gauge wheels
The pick-up runs on two gauge wheels the height of which is set easily and fast without the need of tools and simply by refitting a pin.
The crop press roller
The crop press roller supports the work of the pickup by detecting the size of the swath and preparing it for effective gathering. The height is altered on a simple mechanism for easy and fast use and adaptation to varying crops, swath volumes and work rates. This results in clean and thorough gathering.
Camless and good / Robust double tines
KRONE has purposely removed the cam track from the EasyFlow for controlling the tines. Instead of using many moving parts that are prone to wear, EasyFlow has special strippers that ensure the tine angle is always right the length ideal. Measuring 6 mm in diameter and mounted with large coils, the tines are particularly vigorous and hard-wearing. Narrowly spaced at 55 mm, they pick up also short haulmed and heavy crops thoroughly and without contamination.
The EasyFlow pick-up
The EasyFlow pick-up offers a 2.15 m work width for high hourly outputs. The robust double tines gather the material effectively and feed it in a very consistent flow to the feed rotor and rotor cutter. The spring-loaded EasyFlow provides perfect ground contouring even in the roughest terrain.
The KRONE Integral Rotor
The integral rotor is available with or without a cutting system. Rugged by design, the unit performs dependably and reliability in challenging conditions. The integral rotor has feed augers integrated at its ends, a design that leads to a significant reduction of the number of moving parts. Fewer moving parts translate into better cleaning, less service and maintenance and a longer lifespan.
The drop floor
The floor under the cut-and-feed rotor drops at a flick of a button to remove blockages conveniently from the cab. With the floor down, the pto is operated to clear the blockage. Then the floor is raised again and baling continues.
The driveline
The pick-up and the integral rotor are driven by one shared 1 ¼inch chain. The simple and robust drive uses only few moving parts thus reduces wear and the time you spent servicing.
The compact design
Integrating the feed rollers in the rotor leads to a very consistent and dependable feed of material from the pick-up to the rotor – another boon for the overall crop flow and reliable machine performance.
The Integral Rotor
VariPack has the feed auger integrated in both ends of the rotor cutter (left) and the feed rotor (right). This means that only one drive is required to power the pick-up and the rotor. Combining helical tines and augers on the same rotor optimises the material flow across the entire width of the rotor for high bale weights and perfect cuts.
