KRONE GX universal trailer – jack-of-all-trades for any type of agricultural cargo
GX stands for general-purpose wagon, the most recent addition to the Krone forage wagon range. This wagon offers a new level of versatility and gentle and fast unloading of a wide variety of cargo. The new machine is available in two sizes – 44 m³ and 52 m³ – with two optional discharge rollers. The GX 440 rides on tandem axles and the GX 520 on a tridem unit, with both models featuring standard Isobus operation.
Special Feature
ExactUnload
A world first – unique unloading control by length of the pit With ExactUnload, GX unloads its cargo automatically at rates that match the length of the pit. The operator sets the unloading rate infinitely variably for a course between 10 m and 100 m. ExactUnload controls the unloading rate actively to match the current forward speed of the tractor, helping you deliver the crop in accurate and reproduceable heaps. Laying out a nice blanket, the GX is particularly good at filling silage pits and controlled unloading routines in the field.

New comfort designations for GX models from KRONE To make it easier to differentiate between the GX machines, KRONE is intro-ducing new comfort designations. In future, the GX models will be available in the "PLUS" and "PRO" variants, each of which offers different operating options:
The GX doesn’t hibernate but continues earning its keep also in the winter months.
You can lower the extensions for easier loading and reduce the drop heights.
Operators appreciate the large inspection window when serving the forager.
The floor belt comes into its own in sensible crops like potatoes where it cushions the impact as the tubers drop into the machine.
The powerful floor drive empties the GX in no time so more time can be spent on compacting.
Unload grain conveniently and controlled through the standard- fit grain outlet, using the optional remote control.
The sealed body transports the smallest seeds without losses.
The articulated drawbar lowers the front end for easy filling from the forager.
Powerful discharge rollers unload the material in a wide and uniform mat.
The double-function tailgate and the reversible floor drive make a powerful formula for efficient loading and unloading.
The GX unloads any type of agricultural cargo fast and thoroughly.
The optional telescopic loading space extension simplifies loading with the wheeled loader and telehandler.
The headboard and moving floor form a powerful unit for gentle crop feeds
As a general-purpose wagon, the GX is equally at home on the road and in the field. The running gear offers great ride comfort, good road stability and light running.
- Up to 4 t drawbar load with compact and slimline design
- Two massive hydraulic cylinders move the drawbar in any position
- Curved collision protectors protect the tractor tyre in tight turns
- Standard suspension for convenient rides in fields and on roads
The hydraulic articulated drawbar makes the GX general-purpose wagon a smarter machine. This simple but very functional design eliminates a hydraulic stand for attachment to the tractor. As it can lower the front end, eliminates the headboard hatch and optimizes the filling process by raising the rear end. In extreme conditions, GX offers maximum ground clearance and variable tongue loads.
- Three models with a loading volume of 36 m³, 44 m³ and 52 m³
- Single-frame concept for a lower dead weight and high payload
- Lightweight and rugged body of the loading space
- Transparent front wall for optimum visibility into the loading space
- Optional telescopic loading space extension for the GX 440 and GX 520 PRO models
The KRONE GX 440 and GX 520 general-pur-pose wagons impress with their high trans-port capacity which can be flexibly adaptedto the respective requirements. The option-ally available telescopic loading space exten-sion is used for this purpose and allows you to vary the loading volume as well as the over-load height easily and conveniently. Variable height
The overload height of the GX 440 and GX 520 PRO models can be variably adjusted on request. for convenient fillings and good operator visibility. Lowering the sides reduces the drop height by 660 mm – a boon when loading sensitive crops such as root crops.
- Two optional discharge rollers unload the material in a uniform mat
- Discharge rollers protected through main drive shaft
- A simple mechanism attaches the discharge rollers to the tailboard when not in use
- Convenient changeovers without time-consuming removal
The double-function tailgate is another clever feature on the KRONE GX. After all, versatility is key for the GX. Layer by layer, the two optional discharge rollers on the KRONE GX 360, GX 440 and GX 520 transport wagons deposit uniformcarpets of forage – ideal for the subsequent roll-ing process. The powerful and effective rollersare designed to handle the high unloading rate of the floor belt. When not in use, they simplyswing up and out of the way.
- Running gear variants with composite or hydraulic running gear, depending on the model
- KRONE tandem chassis with 18 or 20 tonne axle load
- Optional hydro-pneumatic suspension for smooth rides on uneven terrain
- Reliable brakes courtesy of accumulated brake cylinders that are sourced from the commercial vehicle sector
Our hydraulic axle assemblies were specifically developed for our wagons and trailers. As such they offer exceptional road stability and best rides in extreme situations – which are essential and nearly indispensable qualities in today’s haulage business. Thanks to a unique axle configuration, the GX offers great stability and quiet running.
Ever bigger and faster tractors, ever higher trailer capacities and payloads call for a thorough rethink on road and field safety. Therefore KRONE offers the electronic braking system as an option. Sourced from the industrial sector, the system has proven exceptionally well for many years. In addition, intelligent steered axles help protect the ground and provide added safety.
As a general-purpose wagon, the GX is designed to also operate in extreme conditions. Therefore the braking unit sits on top of the axle where it is protected from dirt for reliable operation and maximum ground clearance.
EBS is the optional electronic brake system, which comprises ALB, ABS and RSS functions. The roll stability system applies the brakes when it detects a risk of rollover, ensuring greatest stability when taking tight turns at speed. Combined, all these functions lead to an enhanced reliability
All GX models are equipped with a dual-line compressed air brake system as standard. The hydraulic ALB valve controls the braking power relative to the current load. Spring accumulated braking cylinders ensure the machine is parked up safely in any terrain.
The speciality of this steering system is a processor which receives data from a steering angle sensor and connecting rod. The integral hydraulic system supplies the steering cylinder with oil, making GX a very nimble machine. As forward speed increases, operator interference decreases for added road safety. Yet in field mode, the operators can interfere in the steering, which is important on the slope or clamp or when shunting, for example.
The steering system on tandem and tridem axle models is attached to the tractor via a standardised ball head, a steering rod and a hydraulic master cylinder which controls the oil flow to and from the steering cylinder.
The self-steering system is standard equipment on the GX 360 and GX 440 models with tandem unit. The steering system can be locked using locking cylinders during shunting, clamping and when driving on the road. This steering system is simple yet con-venient thanks to the automatic steering axle lock which is acti-vated at a preset speed or when reversing.
The hydraulic functions of the GX 360 and 440 PLUS models are preselected as standard via PreSelect Digital on the ISOBUS terminal and then operated using the tractor-side con-trol units. To increase comfort, the function preselection can also be programmed on the tractor's control lever. Alternatively, the Pre-Select DS 50 provides a separate preselection operation unit which can be used to preselect the hydraulic functions.
A world first – unique unloading control by length of the pit With ExactUnload, GX unloads its cargo automatically at rates that match the length of the pit. The operator sets the unloading rate infinitely variably for a course between 10 m and 100 m. ExactUnload controls the unloading rate actively to match the current forward speed of the tractor, helping you deliver the crop in accurate and reproduceable heaps. Laying out a nice blanket, the GX is particularly good at filling silage pits and controlled unloading routines in the field. ExactUnload is available as an option for the PLUS models and is integrated as standard for the PRO models.
The radio remote control on the GX 440 and 520 PRO models enables convenient loading and unloading from outside the cabin. It allows the tailgate to be opened and closed and the transport unit to be moved at different speeds. This means you always have the best overview and can work as efficiently as possible on your own.
The standard ISOBUS operation of the GX PRO models enables convenient and clear control of the transport wagon. Its clear user interface offers intuitive operation and displays machine data and setup information. You can select your preferred view from configurable buttons. As it is our claim is to provide operators with an uncluttered and self-explanatory user interface and operator environment, the GX can be operated either from your tractor terminal or from an additional ISOBUS terminal – The CCI terminal family is particularly suitable for this, with which the machine and an optional rear-view camera can be displayed simultaneously via an 8 or 12-inch terminal.
- LED working lights for safe operation in the field and on the road
- Excellent all-round view at night
- Standard position lamps for high visibility at night.
- For greater safety Can be extended with reflective contour marking
- Hydraulic underride guard is a standard feature
Up to eight LED working lights, sidelights that are visible from far away, reflective strips and an optional camera with display screen are very useful additions that make work at night easier and safer. Together with the underride guard, this equipment provides a maximum of work and road safety.
LED rear lights complete with indicator lights, reverse and brake lights plus additional LED lights at the top warn motorists ahead of a turn. Sidelights indicate the full size of the machine.
The GX models are available with optional cameras, one feeding images from the interior of the machine and one serving as the reverse camera. The monitor has a switchable colour display screen that takes the hard work out of harvesting and makes it safer too.
A hydraulic underride guard brings added safety on public roads. You can fold it up to make shunting alongside chasers and harvesters much easier. Besides, no crops can collect on the guard when it is out of the way. It folds automatically into road position as soon as the forward speed reaches 15 km/h.
Up to eight extra sidelights are available for the KRONE GX model as an option, illuminating the axle and the vicinity of the machine for safer and easier shunting and travel alongside the forager at night as well as for added safety on the clamp.
Crop covers are an option for the KRONE general-purpose wagons. They secure the crop in swift road transport. The covers open and close hydraulically.
The pressure gauges show the current payload by indicating the pressure inside the hydraulic cylinders on the articulated drawbar and in the running gear
The measurements of the optional electronic weighing device, which is available only on the PRO models, are taken via gauging pins on the drawbar and on the tandem or tridem unit with hydraulic compensation. The weight of the load is equivalent to the accumulated drawbar tongue load and axle load. The weight is recorded and evaluated by job and displayed on the display screen.
Optional LED light bars can be installed inside the load space for optimized visibility. Indirect lights make filling the machine from a harvester more pleasant. They can be operated together with the tractor lights.
The GX can be optionally equipped with the KRONE SmartConnect telemetry unit which forms the basis for modern data management with GPS and WLAN functions. This interface makes it easy to track the current location of the transport wagon and automatically records all important data which can be quickly transmitted to the office. On the PRO models, the Smart- Connect unit can be installed either as a KSC 500 or as a KSC Solar. The PLUS models can be equipped with the KSC Solar.
