German agriculture equipment manufacturer Krone recently added new EasyCut F 400 Fold and EasyCut F 400 CR (conditioner roller) models to its EasyCut F range of front-mounted disc mowers. Both are based on the company’s EasyCut F 400 CV, a mower with a patented folding arm and a conditioner with V-type steel tines. As its name implies, the EC F 400 Fold has a foldable cutter bar; when stowed, the mower has a 3-metre (9.8-foot) transport width. The EC F 400 CR has a rigid cutter bar and a wider 3.9-m (12.8-ft) transport width. Both models have a 4-m (13-ft) working width but can operate with Krone EasyCut B butterfly combinations for a wider cut.

Easy Cutting

The Krone disc mower family also includes ActiveMow R rear-mounted, EasyCut R rear-mounted, and EasyCut TS/TC trailed lineups. Krone says the EC F 400 Fold is ideal for customers who cut grass daily. The EC F Fold CR is well-suited for large-scale alfalfa growers, including those in international markets like the United States and Australia, as it can be combined with trailed mowers like the EasyCut TC 400 or 500. Combining either model with the EasyCut B 1000, for example, results in a stripeless cutting width of more than 10 m (32.8 ft) with 57-centimetre (22.4-inch) overlaps on each side.

Krone says the EasyCut F 400’s patented folding cutter bar and large 45-centimetre swathing auger reflect years of experience with its BiG M swathing augers and the EasyCut B 950 Collect, giving customers “the best of two worlds.” (Photo courtesy of Krone.)

Both mowers’ fully welded and enclosed EasyCut cutter bar includes Krone’s SmartCut wedge-shaped design that produces clean cuts and ideal spreading, as well as SafeCut, a system that enhances disc protection. Krone says their cutter bar suspension system allows for in-cab adjustment and provides optimal ground-hugging and top-notch forage quality. The EasyCut F 400 Fold has a 45-cm (17.7-in.)-diameter auger that swathes the crop between the tractor’s wheels. Operators can adjust the swathing width to prevent the wheels from rolling over the swath and contaminating the crop. The EC F 400 CR’s conditioning unit comprises dual profiled 25-cm (9.8-in.)-diameter polyurethane rollers, with steel M-Rolls available as an option.
