Northern CA | I bought a used Krone 1290 with roto cut and I can't be happier. It is a very well engineered machine. The camless pickup is great. I thought my Freeman big balers were heavy built, but the Krone out weighs those by around 5000 pounds. The Krone doesn't have a "made in China" stamp anywhere. We have changed some bearings and a few other parts in our winter maintenance and most parts are made in Germany. The baler is so smooth and quiet, if you don't look at it, many times you can't tell the pto is running.
The auto luber works great and makes servicing a breeze. The air compressor keeps the knotter are cleaner than my previous baler with fans. I baled around 65-72 bales per hour averaging 1250-1300 pounds this year with the baler set at 70% capacity.
If you have questions, ask away. My email is in my profile, too.
