The F400 Fold is a 4m wide disc front mower.

In 2024, German manufacturer Krone introduced the F400 Fold, a 4m wide disc front mower, featuring end modules that hinge rearwards to reduce the transport width to less than 3m.

They have taken this novel design to develop a new butterfly rear mower unit, the EasyCut B1250 Fold, which offers a working width of up to 12.5m.

As with the Fold front-mounted unit, the outer two sections on at the exterior of the 4.47m wide, 10-disc bed configuration pivot to reduce the overall height to under 4m.

In addition, as part of the overall folding process, the rear mounted gearbox moves backwards hydraulically, creating more ground clearance for the 3.8t mower to be lowered on the tractor’s linkage.

The B1250 has been designed to work on increasingly popular 12 metre controlled traffic farming systems. The B1250 Fold, when partnered with a F400 front mower, offers 45cm of overlap between the front and rear mowers when the 60cm of side-shift on the left and right units is fully extended to achieve 12.5m. The B1250 Fold can also be used with a 3.6m front mower, offering a reduced 20cm overlap.
