Subject: Krone big X 1000 cutter


mn
There is a 2008 coming up on a auction. It currently has 21 codes of different things anywhere from the windshield wiper intermittently running to a controller off circuit. It has the main gearbox leaking oil.
I understand there is some work needed on this unit, but my question is if I fix the current issues will I be done or are they a problem machine from the get go?

I plan on posting in stock talk also.

Best bet would be to hire a qualified Krone mechanic to inspect it and tell you what it needs, especially if you don’t have any service history. All big choppers, including Krone, can take tens of thousands of dollars to make field ready. That machine is a beast when running up to speed. I’ve watched one gobble up 2 ton per acre first cut 70 feet at a time at six mph.

There are several Big x1000 and 1100 choppers running in this area that were bought at auction and brought in from far away. Fabers Farm Equiptment will be your best bet to keep this machine running strong. They have lots of experience with them.

Been running one a few years email is good if you have any specific questions. I've been pretty happy so far. I think my cost/hr has been pretty good at this point and I feel I've still got a lot of life in my machine yet. It will probably Sell pretty reasonably
