MX 370 GL Krone MX 370 GL Specifications & Technical Data (2017—2026)

Forage Wagons

The two dual-purpose forage wagons MX 370 and MX 400 feature the proven designs and innovative technical solutions of the RX series as the base for implementing new and practical ideas.

The grinding discs

The discs have flaps that overlap generously to ensure superior grinds and longevity, giving a 'cold' grind that cuts out the risk of annealing.

Lights

It is possible to order optional LED lights for the MX models which can be fitted on the inside and outside of the body. The inside is illuminated by four optional LED light bands that are installed at the top of the sides while up to four LED work lights can be installed on the outside for better visibility. All lights can be switched from the operator terminal.

The MX 330 GL/GD as self-loading wagon

Fast and consistent fills are key and attributed to the wide work width of the pick-up and the cutting rotor as well as the wide and short feed chamber. Blades with wavy edges and plated rotor tines ensure a particularly high quality of cut.

Serving as self-loading forage wagons

The extra wide pick-up unit, the wide feed chamber and the hydraulic pivoting headboard ensure fast and consistent fills to maximum capacity. For a superior cutting quality (scissor-like cuts), the gap between a blade and a feeding tine is extremely small.

Articulated drawbar

The MX masters even narrow bends. Its long, slim and suspended drawbar is articulated and cushions the shockloads. Two massive rams lift the drawbar no matter the load and give the wagon plenty of ground clearance no matter the situation. As an option, an automatic system stores and retrieves the two drawbar positions automatically.

Convenient control

For easy attachment and removal, the articulated drawbar is raised and lowered by pressing a button on the machine.

The EasyFlow pick-up

The EasyFlow pick-up excels by virtue of clean and thorough gathering – at high work rates and at low wear rates even in difficult conditions. Made up of few moving parts, the unit runs extremely quietly and dependably.

The pick-up

Working at a width of 1.8 m (to DIN 11220), the pick-up gathers also wide swaths no problem and feeds the material to the cutting rotor in a very consistent flow. Spring-suspended and pivoting, it excellently adapts to ground contours.

The guide wheels

The pick-up runs on two castering gauge wheels which pivot flexibly. These wheels are height adjusted without tools and can be complemented by two extra and optional gauge wheels at the rear. These extra wheels do not run in the tractor wheelings and help contouring in difficult harvest conditions and reducing crop contamination.

Tines arranged in a ‘W’-line

The 6.5 cm diameter double tines with large coils are particularly hard-wearing. Arranged in a wavy pattern, six rows of tines feed the material from the ends to the middle of the rotor, thereby preventing crop from building up as the machine travels through bends, for example, and spreading it evenly across the full width of the cutting rotor.

The crop press roller

The crop press roller supports the pick-up in gathering the material effectively. Its height is adjusted easily and without tools to match the current crop, the swath volume, and ground speed.

The cutting rotor

Powerful and low-maintenance, the MX rotor operates very smoothly and feeds the crop super gently and consistently into the machine. The rotor blades give exact cuts, stay sharp for a long time, and are very easy to replace.

The rotor

The cutting rotor measures 880 mm in diameter and offers a working width of 1,580 mm to handle large amounts of material. The eight rows of helical 17 mm tines have Hardox plates for long service life. The scraper elements, too, are made from hard-wearing Hardox steel. The design ensures the tines feed the crop dependably through the blades for precise and scissor-like cuts, as well as fast and uniform fills.

Blade group control system

The central blade group control system controls the cutting length. Operators can select 41, 21, 20, or 0 blades, with 41 blades achieving nominal chop lengths of 37 mm. 0 blades means the system is not cutting.

Individual blade protection

Each blade is individually protected by a tensile spring, the tripping force of which can be adjusted centrally and steplessly. After the blade has tripped, it automatically resumes its cutting position.

A consistent grind

Each grinding disc is pressed on to the blade by a bevel spring for a high-quality and consistent cut to each individual blade at minimum material wear.

MX Forage Wagons

MX defines our range of high-capacity forage wagons that offer capacities from 33 m³ to 40 m³. Genuine dual-purpose forage wagons, they run in both the grass harvest chain as self-loading machines with discharge rollers and in the maize transport chain as forager-filled silage trailers. These machines score on versatility, reliability, efficiency and flexibility.

MX 330 Features

Its steel sides, the volume of 33 m³, and the massive tandem-axle chassis with steered rear axle make the MX 330 a genuine dual-purpose wagon. The machine is available with discharge rollers (GD) and without the rollers (GL). A hydraulically operated silage hatch at the top of the headboard is an option for easier filling from the leading forager.

The MX 330 GL/GD as forager-filled wagon

Its rugged steel structure and the high 18t axle load make the MX 330 the most reliable and productive companion for the forage harvester.

Serving as forager-filled trailers

Offering capacities of 37 m³ and 40 m³ and a high gross weight of up to 22 t, the MX 370/400 models make perfect silage trailers that unload the material extremely fast. This dual use option makes MX an even more productive machine.

The loading area

The MX dual-purpose forage wagons with steel structures are made to excel in the toughest conditions. The pivoting headboard makes for easier filling - both from the forage harvester or the pick-up. The heavy-duty chain-and-slat floor feeds even heavy forage swiftly and consistently to the rear for unloading.

The pivoting headboard

The MX 370 and 400 models have a hydraulic headboard which pivots to various positions to support the filling and unloading processes. For example, when the machine is filled by a forage harvester, the headboard pivots all the way forward to maximize the capacity. By comparison, when the machine is gathering material through the pick-up, the headboard is nearly vertical to optimize the filling process. Once the loading area is filled to capacity, the headboard pivots towards the tractor to expand the capacity by 4 m³. To speed up unloading, the headboard can pivot back and forth and support the work of the floor chain.

The silage hatch

The MX 330 has a vertical headboard which is available with a foldable hatch at the top as an option. At the touch of a button, this hatch folds forward for easier filling from the forage whereas it is folded rearwards when the machine is loading grass via the pick-up.

Crop covers

After the machine is filled to capacity, you can protect the material with a pair of crop covers to prevent losses during road travel. The covers are made of high-tensile texture and are operated by two hydromotors that are controlled from the cab-based terminal.

The door

Those MX forage wagons that are fitted with discharge rollers have a large nearside door that gives access to the loading area after you climb the fold-down ladder with a handle on the side for safe ascent.

The chain-and-slat floor

The four floor chains are made of high-tensile tube steel and the slats are made of channel steel. The chains are driven by two hydromotors – one on either side of the machine – and convey the heaviest material fast and effectively to the rear for quick unloading. The floor slopes at its front end, thereby shortening the passageway into the machine and reducing the strain on the crop as well as input power whilst boosting the intake rate.

The automatic loading system

The machine can be specified with optional sensors that enable and control the chain-and-slat floor. The Power-Load sensor measures the pressure that is exerted by the material on the headboard while another sensor at the top of the headboard scans the current angle of the silage hatch. The chain-and-slat floor is started automatically as soon as the pressure scanned equals the preset pressure. Depending on the crop, it is also possible to use the two sensors independently of each other.

Unloading via discharge rollers

The MX GD models have two or three discharge rollers which unload the material in a uniform mat. Overload protected by the clutch in the main driveshaft, the rollers discharge the material fast and efficiently.

Uniform mats

The discharge rollers unload the material in very uniform layers. Available in sets of two or three, the bottom roller spins at a higher speed than the top roller(s).

Safe road travel

The long and slim drawbar, the compact build, and the tandem axle with either a steered rear axle or a mechanical force-steer option optimize ride performance and stability – both in the field and on public roads.

Suspension system, drawbar and running gear

Varying conditions, high payloads, challenging unloading sites and long-distance travel at speed are challenges that call for a very stable, safe and shockload cushioning running gear. It is down to the steered tandem axle, the ball hitch and the articulated drawbar that the MX is up to any job and situation.

Bottom-mount drawbar

All MX models are specified with the standard ball hitch 80 which offers a tongue load of 4 t, a level of specification that accounts for hard wearing and maximum manoeuvrability. Mechanical force-steering is available as an option. Simply attach the steering rod to the ball 50 and the tractor.

The tandem axle

The MX runs on tandem axles with mechanical suspension as standard specification. A hydraulic levelling system is available as an option. The system ensures the weight is always distributed uniformly to all four wheels to give optimum rides and stability. A range of tyre options is available to suit all harvest conditions.

Steered rear axle

Steered rear axle option on the rear axle and reduces scuffing and tyre wear. The system is set up and monitored by means of pressure gauges. An electronic power steering system is also available which allows operators to intervene when working in sloping fields or on the clamp for example.
