• • •This cross-section view brings it to light: Because oftheir design, conventional Pick-Up’s have significantlymore moving parts. Anyone who has had to disassembleone knows what this means and this is also the reasonwhy a conventional Pick-Up cannot rotate as fast. In additionmany moving parts naturally means they have higherwear rates, which is reflected in higher costs for maintenanceand repairs.For the first time and exclusively only at Krone: Thecamless EasyFlow Pick-Up. The complicated mechanismof the cam-track control is not necessary and the crop isunable to wrap around it, meaning a safe and sure highperformance Pick-Up.
