2025 Krone ZX 470 GD

The key to viable farming is boosting efficiencies, cutting costs and utilizing equipment to full potential all year round. This is the scenario in which KRONE developed the ZX dual-purpose wagon. Dual-purpose means these machines serve as both self-loading forage wagons with discharge rollers and forager-filled forage wagons in maize and grass.

• The world's most powerful self-loading and harvester-filled forage wagon – thanks to the KRONE Powerbelt driveline with a transmission capacity of up to 400hp

• Camless pick-up with hydraulic drive and electro-hydraulic suspension

• Pivoting headboard increases capacity from a compact build

• Pull-out blade cassette with 48 individually protected blades

• Three standard discharge rollers on ZX GD models. Overload protection comes from a clutch in the main driveline.

• Axles with hydraulic auto-levelling system

• PowerLoad auto filling system with auto chain-and-slat floor control

Featuring the new OptiGrass cutting system and maximum throughputs, the RX and ZX forage wagons from KRONE set new benchmarks for professional forage trailers.

Features may include:

• OptiGrass

• Camless pick-up with hydraulic drivewith hydraulic relief

• Integral rotor and SplitCut for optimum conditioning – provides for an optimum cut

• Pull-out blade cassette with 40 or 54 individually protected blades

• Pivoting front wall increases capacity from a compact build

• Axle assembly with hydraulic auto-levelling system

• Premium lighting Standard

• Options, which are worthwhile!

The KRONE ZX dual-purpose loading and forage transport wagon is impressive all along the line thanks to its modern design, innovative technologies and excellent forage quality. With the high-performance 'OptiGrass 28 and 37' cutting systems, it offers a clean, precise cut as well as structured and homogeneous forage conditioning across the entire width. Maximum power and efficiency round off the programme. The ZX sets new standards in the high-performance loading and forage transport wagon segment.

• Versatile

• Efficient

• Economical

• Operator comfort

Working economically means: boosting efficiency, cutting costs and utilising equipment to full potential all year round. This is the scenario in which KRONE developed the ZX dual-purpose wagon. Dual-purpose means these machines serve as both loading and forage transport wagon in maize and grass.

• Clean cut in theoretical length of 28 or 37 mm

• Optimal structure gentle conditioning under all conditions

• Homogeneous uniform conditioning of each stalk over its full width

• Precise wide steel plates and blades arranged for shear cutting

• Perfectly coordinated precise interaction between pick-up and cutting rotor

• Innovative new integral rotor with unique divider wall system

Thanks to the KRONE OptiGrass system, the forage quality is clean, homogeneous and uniform. This is possible due to the precise cutting method with a choice of cutting lengths of 28 or 37 mm. Thanks to the perfectly coordinated technologies, conditioning is gentle, resulting in a clean and high-quality result.

• Hydraulic drive independent of the cutting rotor

• Automatic or manual rotation speed adjustment to the driving speed
