You are right, watching choppers is always fun. It was great catching all 3 Krone choppers in 1 camera shot.

That was fun opportunity to see all three in a line. Normally they work in separate sections of the field.

Awesome video!

Three choppers in one field is impressive😁👍 What a nice fleet😉👍 Very well done👍

A lot has changed since I worked filling silos 50 years ago. : )

Awesome video BTP thanks!

Thank you for watching.

I ran a big x 1100 during corn, we had 3 1100s and an 1180 but most of the time we would only have 2 or 3 going at a time. My chopper had a bad boot seal in the base of the spout so corn goo would get on the cone and give her over heating issues so my chopper was the slowest of the group, but I had one of the biggest headers. But when we had all 4 working we could clear out a 2 pivot field in a day. And my boss gave me a chance to run his 2019 or so big x 1180 and that machine is a beast when it works right.

Viewed again 6-15-22 from Illinois spoke with dealer last week currently has sold 12 Krone machines in the same area.

Awesome could watch this all day.

These machines roll and run hard. There is some over spray but combines lose grain out the back we never see until the volunteer corn or wheat sprouts weeks later.

Class and Krone ,,, I think they are beasts,,,, but I’ve never even run a silage truck ! Would like to hear the operators take a little on some of these machines, what they like and don’t like. Thanks BTP,,,,🇨🇱🇨🇱

It’s an exciting time of year in the field.

About 4 years ago I was at a large dairy farm south central Illinois to see a Krone 500 with I recall a 6 or 8 row header. Farm was using New Holland for years. He did not purchase the demo unit that year. The following year he purchased the next larger Krone with new header. Used one season went back to dealer traded up to next larger machine with either 10 or 12 row header. Over the years the same dealer has sold 5-6 maybe more additional Krone machines in the same dairy area. New Holland machines were being traded for Krone, says something about the name and word of mouth.

The title is all packed together. You may or may not want to fix that.

Hi how many acres do they cut a year and how many trucks do they run a very nice video Graham uk

Awesome video! Does one farm own these or is it custom crew? Where is this at?

Friend of mine who does custom chopping with Deere machines demoed a Krone that had the two engines about ten years ago and said it was unstoppable and could outchop anything. He also mentioned that they seemed to have to work on that machine a lot to keep it going. I don’t believe Krone offers the two engines anymore and that could possibly be why.

They need a lot of power and when time has passed, development has gone forward; They use truck based(?) engines and those are already nearing 800hp here in Eur on the top of the line so no need for twins when one engine alone can pump enough power.

Were about to start cutting out here in California. The corn out here is taller than the cab

California sure grows some great silage corn. This is non irrigated so 10 to 12 ft is the norm at about 22 tons to the acre.

Do they grow a special variety of corn for silage or is it just regular field corn? Good video, I bet those V12's use a lot of fuel.

Yes silage corn is often raised for tonnage rather than bushels. Years ago corn was corn and often farms chopped their work corn and shelled the best. Today it’s a science to get the best silage to produce the best milk.

It’s allot to coordinate. While they spill some silage it’s no worse than grain loss experienced by combines. It’s just very visible when the crop misses the target. .

The cab offers a good view. I have never seen one run something over. That said there would be nothing left if this chopper got ahold of something. The operator is always watching. They do not want to have to clean the inside of the machine out from a mess like that.

The doors are open to let hear out. It was almost 100 degrees out the day I filmed this. When they put a straight chrome pipe on the chopper it eliminates the over heating.

The Claas 960 and these Krones are actually chopping on the same farm. The reason they chop higher is that the lower stalk has little nutritional value so they leave it the field. Farms in this area plant sorghum right behind the choppers to chop later in the fall. There is plenty of feed to harvest.
