Road Show 2010 - now we go! Moin moin,
finally the crown BiG Pack Road Show 2010 started with the support of JCB, and in time for its launch, I report here about everything interesting, I experience during the demonstrations.
But first a few introductory words for this tour:
The BiG Pack Road Show 2010, we want to make our product, the Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP large square baler in the western United States even more popular. Especially for the export markets of the United States, this news is very interesting because we with it the weight of a bale with dimensions of 4 x 4 ft. into a ball with 3 x 4 ft. can press - that is, we squeeze 25% more material in the HDP bales than in a normal big pack press with the same Kanalmaß. The question now is, of course, what are the benefits and, above all, why just for the western United States? The answer is quite simple. The western U.S. is mainly an export market. Hay is exported to Asia, both from here and toward Saudi Arabia, Middle East, United Arab Emirates etc.. However, in order to export economy, has to be right next to the quality of one thing - weight. Only if the ball at 86 inch length (about 7 ft. or 2.20 meters) 1,500 lbs (680 kg) weigh, can the 40 ft. sea containers unload optimal. Thus the quality in the target countries still true, while the moisture of the bales may not exceed 14%, otherwise the hay by the moisture and the associated self-heating is black.
Currently, the Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP the only press on the market that can meet these requirements. Until now that is densified with other large square balers hydraulically pressed hay in large stationary presses. This effort is not negligible, since the existing bales from the field first transported to the stationary presses, there then freed from the yarn and after the re-densification must be re-bound. These costs can be minimized with the Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP significantly as the BiG Pack bales can be loaded directly at the field edge in the Seeconteiner.
For our project, "Road Show 2010" means that we place our focus on the export regions - that is, the western United States. The following map you can see the rough course of the tour.
The start is in the Imperial Valley, El Centro, California. From there, it's always after the harvest of the region around Bakersfield to the north, with a detour to Smith Valley, Nevada is already scheduled, further and further north, almost to the Canadian border. From there it will head East to go to Kansas on.
addition to the Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP course I have other equipment for the tour, I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves.
the beginning makes my tractor, JCB 8250 Fastrac.
JCB supported us in the Project Road Show 2010 with the provision of the tractor. At this point once again thank you for that. The JCB 8250 Fastrac is the perfect tractor for me for this task because he hand me a top speed of 42 mph with his very quickly to our destination, and the other with his Fendt 936 Vario transmission of and operate it to its logical structure very simple, so that at the screenings every interested customer is quite at home with the tractor. The maximum 280 hp is adequate for the BiG Pack HDP also perfect (the press is to drive as early as 180 hp) and the high seating position combined with the full suspension tractor and the spacious cabin offers all the comfort you could wish for such a demonstration .
Especially as a passenger during the demonstrations I have also enough space in the cabin.
Furthermore, I still have a pick-up truck with a trailer here, where I have all the major spare parts and transporting a variety of tools. It's just advantageous if you have the most important small items with it, so not a thwarting a broken spring or a lost pin.
addition to the items mentioned above, I also have a stock of Crown HDP yarn, two spare wheels for the press, a tent and a flagpole with a crown flag and a ball weighing system for front hydraulics of the JCB there. The Pick Up has the advantage that I do not always go with the whole team needs to be. Even though the hotel parking lots here are generally larger than in Germany, it is still not necessary to drive up with a JCB with BiG Pack there. In addition, I have to move so the trailer.
So much for the moment.
Greetings Niklas
