Krone XDisc 710 Now Fits John Deere, New Holland Foragers
Krone's XDisc 710 direct-cut header can now be used by John Deere and New Holland forage harvesters, as well as the Krone Big X it was originally designed for.
Featuring a telescopic section that is concealed within the lower front arms of the loader, the set up provides up to 1000mm of extension.
An interesting concept emerged at the recent EIMA show in Italy, where Italian company Aries - a front linkage manufacturer - showed its concept FL S3 Tele-End telescopic front-end loader for tractors.
Featuring a telescopic section that is concealed within the lower front arms of the loader, the set up provides up to 1000mm of extension, complemented with up to 16 degrees of articulation in the mid-section.
In the fully retracted position, the FL S3 offers a maximum lift height of 3.79m, which increases to 4.13m when fully extended, although in this position, the payload drops by approximately 600kg.
Initially designed to be used by 80-120hp tractors, ongoing development will include product testing and customer potential, although if it does eventually reach production, the purchase price could be 30 to 40% more expensive than a standard front-end loader.
