General Information
The feed packers (4) fill the conveyor channel. The crop
is collected in the conveyor channel by the work of the
feed packers. The filling level in the conveyor channel is
sensed by the sensing rake (16). When a certain filling
level is reached, the sensing rake is swung back and the
feeder packer takes over the further transport of the crop
into the baling channel.
The baling ram force is controlled electronically by
hydraulic cylinders (9) on the baling channel flaps. Once
the set pack length is reached, the knotter mechanism is
released by the star wheel projecting into the baling
channel. The Big Pack 890 is equipped with 4, the
Big Pack 1270 and 1290 with 6 knotters (7). The big
bales are unloaded through a bale chute (10).
With the optional Multi Bale (Big Pack 1270) design, the
bale can be separated into as many as six smaller
bales.
The crop is pressed by the baling ram (6) in the baling
channel to form a highly compacted big bale. The length
and naturally also the density of the big bales can be
adjusted continuously.
Thus big bales can be generated according to widely
differing requirements.
As a drive, the BIG PACK Baler requires a tractor with a
power of 65 kW or higher.
The BIG PACK Baler is hooked into the hitch coupling or
the swinging drawbar. The drawbar is provided with
height adjustment so that the Big Pack Baler can work
horizontally.
The drive of the BIG PACK is through a PTO shaft,
which transmits the torque coming from the tractor
through a flywheel (11) to a bevel spur gearbox (12). The
maximum input speed of 1000 rpm must not be
exceeded, because this could cause the machine to be
damaged.
The PTO shaft is equipped at the tractor end with a
wide-angle joint. The operating instructions intended for
the PTO shaft are located on the PTO shaft.
Before the Big Pack Baler is started up, the operating
instructions of the PTO shaft should also be read.
Shortening the PTO shaft and any repair and
maintenance work are discussed here.
The pick-up (2), which is 2 m (2.4 m) wide, picks up the
crop cleanly. A height-adjustable roller-type crop guard
(1) ensures trouble-free pick-up and helps to avoid
clogging. The crop is conveyed by 2 worm conveyors
(3), located on the left and right side of the pick-up, to
the feed packer drum (13) or to the cutter rotor (14) and
blades (15).
The pick-up can be raised and lowered by the tractor
hydraulics. The feeler wheels of the pick-up are
adjustable in height so that an optimum pick-up height
can be achieved for the pick-up.

3.5.3Load-Sensing Connection (optional)
A Big Pack Baler with Comfort electronics or Comfort
hydraulics is capable of load sensing. The advantage of
using a tractor equipped for this is the lower output that
is required because of less oil heating.
The oil supply comes through the Power-Beyond of the
tractor hydraulics for use of the load-sensing system.
The message line must be connected between the
message connection (LS) on the control block and the
message connection of the tractor. The message line (1)
(NW 12, blue protective cap) on the Big Pack with
Comfort hydraulics is located directly under the pick-up
connection on the front of the drawbar.
Adjusting the hydraulic system
The Comfort hydraulics system is designed for
continuous circulation. It must be adapted to the
hydraulics of the tractor. The adjustment is made by

• In the event of injuries or burns caused by oils, cleaning agents or solvents, contact a
physician immediately.
• You should also follow all additional safety instructions to avoid injuries and accidents.
Before placing the Big Pack Baler in winter storage, clean the outside thoroughly. If you use a high-pressure cleaner,
do not hold the stream of water directly on bearing points. After cleaning is completed, grease all lubrication points.
Do not wipe off any grease that comes out of bearing points. The hardened grease will provide additional protection
against moisture.
Remove the drive chains and chain couplings (after that check the packer adjustment) and wash them out in
petroleum (do not use any other solvent). At the same time, check the chains and chain wheels for wear. Oil the
chains after they are cleaned, mount them and place them under tension.
Check all movable components such as deflector rollers, joints, tension rollers, etc. to make certain they move
easily. If necessary dismount, clean, grease and remount. If necessary, replace with new parts. Use only original
KRONE replacement parts.
Disassemble the PTO shaft. Lubricate the inner tubes and the guard tube with grease. Grease the lubrication nipples
on the cross joint and grease on the bearing rings of the guard tube.
Park the Big Pack Baler in a dry location, but not in the vicinity of artificial fertilisers or livestock buildings.
Repair damage to the paint. Thoroughly coat bare metal spots, especially twine eyes, knotters (knotter hook and
twine support disc) and the baling channel with vegetable oils to protect them.
The Big Pack Baler should only be placed on blocks with a suitable vehicle lifting device. Make
certain that the machine is stable and safe when it is on blocks.
To relieve the load on the tyres (leaving the baler in one spot for a long time may cause damage to the tyres) place
the Big Pack Baler on blocks. Protect the tyres against external influences such as oil, grease, direct sunlight, etc.
Release the parking brake and flywheel brake. Drain out condensed water from the compressed air container.
Perform the necessary repair tasks immediately after the harvest season. Draw up a list of all replacement parts you
will need. This will make it easier for your KRONE dealer to process your orders and you will be certain that your
machine will be ready for use at the beginning of the next season.

Before moving backward first move the rear axle
wheels to a straight position if they are turned. Then
charge the locking cylinder with air. It may be necessary
to drive straight forward a short distance.
While driving in reverse leave the pressure on the
hydraulic connection.
While driving forward, set the tractor valve for the
steering axle to “Lower” so that the wheels can freely
adjust to the trajectory of the curve.
It may be useful to lock the steering axle
if the lateral guiding of the non-steered front axle is no
longer sufficient, for example
- on a slope
- on soil that is not solid enough
- for fast travel over an uneven course.
To do this, charge the locking cylinder until the steered
wheels are in position for driving straight ahead. During
forward travel with the steering axle locked, leave the
pressure on the hydraulic connection.
3.7.3.1 Moving the machine without

Setting the target bale channel flap pressure
The pressure is specified by the user in manual
mode.
The pressure is built up immediately if the PTO is
running and the machine is stopped. The pressure
display barely fluctuates in the display.
If the pressure is set too high, the
machine may be exposed to
mechanical overload during baling,
which can cause it to be destroyed.
To prevent this, the bale channel flap
pressure must be reduced to a noncritical level just before overload
occurs. After a few seconds, it is
possible to return to the pressure set
by the user.
If overload occurs, the target bale
channel flap pressure must be reduced.
Setting the target bale channel flap pressure
• Press the rotary potentiometer until the icon is
in front of the target bale channel flap pressure
value (A).
• Turn the rotary potentiometer to set the desired
target bale channel flap pressure.
• Press the rotary potentiometer until the icon is
in parking position (B).

(BP1290 HDP)
The bale length can be set in the range
from 100 - 320 cm (39 - 126 inches).
The bale length should only be

4.8 Description of the Baling
Process
4.8.1 Bale Channel is Empty
When the control unit is turned on, the display is
always in Manual mode.
With this setting, the bale channel must
first be filled to a pressure of about 50 bar
(for straw) and 25 bar (for silage) to
prevent the bale channel flaps from
bending out of shape.
When the bale channel is filled, the
pressure must be set high enough so that
the bale will be as solid as desired.
To always achieve the same solidity of bales
automatically with materials of different properties
(for example with differing moisture content of
materials on the same field), you should then switch
into Automatic mode.
The program will then use the baling force that was
previously reached from Manual mode.
The contact pressure of the bale channel flaps is
controlled automatically by the job computer so that
the selected force of pressure is achieved.
As the material becomes moister, it becomes more
difficult to compress the bales. Because of this, the
bale channel flap pressure is slightly reduced. As the
material becomes drier, the bale channel flap
pressure increases again.
The pressure that is shown in the display may
deviate considerably because of this.
Bale quality and solidity remain constant.
Additional information:
The baling force is recorded by two sensors on the
inside of the front frame section. Then it is amplified
and sent to the job computer.
The job computer evaluates the signals and then
controls the pressure of the hydraulic cylinders of the
bale channel flaps.
The signals are also used by the control unit to
display the direction of motion.
The greater the difference between the measured
forces of the left and right sensor, the stronger the
indications for the direction of motion. If the motion
indications are too strong or too weak, they can still
be adjusted (see Sect. 4.9.5)
4.8.2 Bale Channel is Full
Same as Chapter 4.8.1 with the following difference:
1. If you will be baling in Automatic mode, you can
switch into Automatic mode immediately after the
machine starts.
The last target force to be used will be used again
in this case, i.e. you can continue baling with the
same settings after turning the machine off and
back on.
The force of pressure setting should
not have been adjusted after the
control system is turned on in manual
mode, because the control system
then “forgets” the last settings.
2. If you will be baling in Manual mode, the force of
pressure should be adjusted to the desired value
immediately after the control system is started.

4.9.15 Menu 4-4 “Actuator test, manual”
The actuator test is used to test the actuators
installed on the machine.
An actuator can only be tested if power is flowing
through it. In the manual actuator test, on the other
hand, the actuator must be controlled manually for a
short time to be able to determine if there are any
errors in the actuator system.
During the actuator test, the PTO
must not be turning.
During the actuator test, the
actuators are controlled by the
system. This may result in the
machine performing unexpected
actions. Because of this, the test must
only be performed from a safe
position outside the area that is
affected by machine parts moved by
the actuators.

4.12.1 Working Principle
ISO control is used exclusively for machines and systems that are compliant with Application Level 1 of International
Standards Organisation (ISO) 11783. The purpose of ISO 11783 is to provide a complete uniform system for
electronic systems in the vehicle. The uniform, easy to understand system required by ISO 11783 is intended to
facilitate communication between the different electronic control units. The purpose of simple adjustable control
elements that are separate from the actual display is to make it possible to use the display as a performance monitor
for the tractor and as a monitor for an ISO-11783 attached device.
Install the cable harness included with delivery.
To do this:
• Connect the power supply cable (12 V) on the
tractor side to the 3-prong power outlet (DIN 9680)
and on the machine side with the Delphi plug (5).
• The Delphi plug (5) is located on the left-hand side
of the machine (in the direction of travel) on the
metal cover close to the flywheel.
• Connect the cable included with delivery to the
socket (4) on the metal cover on the left-hand side
(in the direction of travel) close to the flywheel. Also
connect with the socket of the control unit.
• Attach the 9-pin ISO plug to the ISO bus socket (1)
on the tractor.

The ISO terminal operates in a manner similar to the
KRONE in-cab Comfort kit. Before starting the system
up for the first time, please read the section on
KRONE in-cab Comfort kit in the operating
instructions.
One important difference compared to KRONE in-cab
Comfort kit is the arrangement of softkeys, determined
by the ISO terminal that is selected.
Functions that differ from the in-cab Comfort kit are
described below.
One significant difference compared to the KRONE incab Comfort kit is that the functions of the rotary

5.1 General Description
The electronic equipment of the Big Pack Baler consists
essentially of the job computer, the control unit and the
control and function elements.
The job computer (1) is located on the front left of the
machine under the side hood.
Its functions are:
– Regulation of the baling density
– Bale counter
– Control of the actuators installed on the machine
– Transfer of alarm messages
– Sensor/actuator diagnostics
The control unit (2) communicates information to the
driver and performs settings to operate the Big Pack
Baler. This information is received and further processed
by the job computer.
The control unit (2) must be protected
from water.
If the Big Pack Baler will not be used
for an extended period (as in winter,
for example), the control unit (2) must
be stored in a dry place.
For mounting and repair jobs, es-pecially
for welding jobs on the Big Pack Baler,
disconnect the power supply from the
control unit (2).
Overvoltage can damage the
electronics of the control unit.
