AX defines our range of forage wagons that offer capacities from 25 m³ to 31 m³ and which are available with different extensions that give users the flexibility to use them as self-loading forage wagons with and without discharge rollers but also as silage trailers in the maize harvest chain. AX suggests maximum reliability, efficiency and flexibility.

• AX 250 self-loading forage wagons with discharge rollers: 25 m³ volume; collapsible or steel extensions
• AX 280 self-loading forage wagons with discharge rollers: 28 m³ volume; collapsible or steel extensions or silage extensions
• AX 310 self-loading forage wagons with discharge rollers: 31 m³ volume; steel extensions or silage extensions

The new generation of AX self-loading forage wagon models score on their great diversity as they offer different extensions and capacities to adapt to many different conditions and applications. These extremely efficient machines serve as forager-filled but also as selfloading forage wagons with or without discharge rollers For maximum flexibility and utilization that earns you excellent returns on your investment.

The AX 310 as the flagship of the range offers a capacity of 31m³. It has a rugged steel extensions as standard specification or silage extensions as an option. The AX 310 D is the model that features either two or three discharge rollers at the rear. The 1,800 mm wide pick-up feeds the material to the rotor cutter with 32 blades that chops the material in scissor-like cuts to 45 mm lengths.

Offering a volume of 28 m³, the AX 280 self-loading forage wagon with discharge rollers is the most versatile machine in the AX range and can be specified with many different extensions – collapsible hay extensions, steel extensions or silage extensions. The AX 280 D model is specified with either two or three discharge rollers. The 1,800 mm wide pick-up feeds the material to the rotor cutter with 32 blades that chop the material in scissor-like cuts to 45 mm lengths.

Offering a volume of 25 m³, the AX 250 self-loading forage wagons with discharge rollers is the most compact model in the AX range and is available with collapsible or steel extensions. The AX 250 D is the model that also has discharge rollers at the rear. The camless and 1,800 mm wide pick-up gathers the material effectively and feeds it to the rotor cutter which in turn lines up 32 blades that cut the material to 45 mm chops at a minimum tractor input.

• Collapsible folding grid are ideal in low buildings
• Rugged steel extensions with tensioning ropes secure the crop for loss-free transport
• Silage extensions with headboard hatch and no ropes for use as a silage trailer

The large choice of available extensions makes the KRONE AX a universal forage wagon. Collapsible hay extensions allow the AX to enter low buildings or pass under low gates whereas steel extensions give it a head start as a self-loading forage wagon. But it can also take silage extensions including the headboard hatch, which make it the perfect dual-use forage wagon / silage trailer.

• Bottom- or top-mount drawbar
• Articulated drawbar for high ground clearance
• Drawbar suspension for comfortable rides
• Sprung or unsprung tandem axles with hydraulic levelling system

Varying harvest conditions, difficult situations on the clamp, high payloads, and longdistance travel at speed call for a running gear and a drawbar that offer maximum strength and stability as well as superior operator comfort and safety. Choose between the top-mounting hitch ring, the bottom-mount pivoting drawbar, the ball hitch or the articulated drawbar. This and the caster-steer tandem axles with either mechanical or hydraulic suspension allow you to specify your machine to your individual needs.

• Wide pick-up for clean and comprehensive gathering
• Camless pick-up for very quiet running and hard wearing
• Tines in W-arrangement for optimum crop flow
• Optimum ground contouring by gauge wheels and side pivot

The camless EasyFlow pick-up has only few moving parts and therefore runs extremely quietly, causing little wear. Boasting a wide work width, it gathers wide swaths tidily also in bends. Undulations are no problem at all, thanks to the pivoting suspension along with the gauge wheels.
