I. Foreword
Dear customer,
We thank you for the trust you have placed in us by
purchasing this machine.
When you received this machine, we hope that your
dealer gave you instructions for the operation,
maintenance and adjustment of the machine.
However, this brief introduction to the machine is no
substitute for a detailed acquaintance with the different
tasks and functions of the machine and the proper way
of treating it.
These operating instructions are designed so that you
are extensively informed of the activities required in
each area, from commissioning and operation to the
maintenance and care of the machine. The structure
of the individual chapters in the text and illustrations
corresponds to the sequence of work procedures
when you use the machine.
Read these operating instructions carefully before
you use the machine, and pay special attention to the
safety instructions.
Important: To avoid accidents and to ensure
maximum results, no alterations may
be made to the machine without the
manufacturer´s permission. Similarly,
the machine must only be used under
the conditions prescribed by Krone.
All information, illustrations and technical information in
the operating instructions represent the latest status at
the date of publication. The company reserves the right
to make constructional alterations at any time and
without prior notice or obligation.
This symbol is designed to draw atten-
tion to the safety instructions contain-
ed in the operating instructions. These
instructions must be observed to
prevent accidents.
Ordering Replacement Parts
Mach. No.
Type
Year
When ordering replacement parts, the machine type,
machine number and year of manufacture must be
given. These details can be found on the identification
label on the machine.
We recommend that these details be entered in the
above boxes so that they are readily available.
And please remember that imitations and copies of
parts, especially wearing parts, do not keep what they
appear to promise. Material quality is difficult to test
visually, therefore special care is required when
purchasing cheap offers and imitation parts!
The simplest remedy:
Purchase only original KRONE parts!

Safety and Accident Prevention
Regulations
1. Take note of both the regulations in these operating
instructions and also the general safety and accident
prevention regulations!
2. The attached warning and information signs give
important advice for safe operation. Observing them will
enhance your safety!
3. When you use public roads, make sure you observe the
relevant traffic regulations!
4. Make sure you know all equipment and controls before
you begin working with the machine. When you are
operating the machine, it´s too late!
Basic rule:
Before any public roads are used
and before the machine is started,
check the round baler and the tractor
for road-worthiness and operational
safety.
Operation in Accordance with
Specifications
The round baler is designed solely for normal agricultural
use (operation in accordance with specifications).

not in accordance with specifications. The manufacturer
bears no responsibility for any resulting damage; such use
is entirely at the operator´s risk.
Use in accordance with specifications also includes
adherence to the operating, maintenance and service
instructions prescribed by the manufacturer.
The round baler must only be used, maintained and repaired
by personnel who are acquainted with the machine and
have been informed of the dangers involved.
The applicable accident prevention regulations and all other
generally recognized safety, health and road traffic
regulations must be adhered to.
Any unauthorized alterations to the machine render any
liability for damage undertaken by the manufacturer null and
void.
II. General
7
21.Only switch on equipment when all protective devices
are fitted and in protection position!
22.Persons are not allowed to enter the working area!
23.Keep clear of the area of rotation and swing of the
equipment!
24.Hydraulic controls must only be operated if no persons
are in the swing area!
25.Power operated parts (e.g. by hydraulics) contain danger
points which can cause injury by bruising and,
grazing!
26.Make sure that no personnel go between the tractor and
the implement unless the tractor is protected from rolling
by the parking brake and/or wheel blocks!
Trailed implements
1. Secure the implement against unintentional move-
ments.
2. Do not exceed the maximum load permissible on the
3-point linkage, drawbar or hitch.
3. In the case of trailed implements sufficient freedom
of motion must be provided at the hitch point.
6. Always ensure correct assembly and guarding of the
P.T.O. shaft!
7. Protect the P.T.O. shaft guard from rotating with the
shaft by fitting the chains!
8. Before switching on the power take-off shaft, make sure
that the p.t.o. speed of the tractor matches the permitted
speed of the implement!
9. When using the travel PTO shaft, take into account that
the shaft speed is dependent upon the speed of travel
and the direction of rotation is reveresed when the
tractor reverses.
10.Before switching on the power take-off shaft, make sure
that nobody is in the danger area of the implement!
11.Never switch on the power take off shaft when the tractor
engine is turned off!
12.Any work on the power take-off shaft may only be carried
out when nobody is in the area of the rotating power take-
off shaft or P.T.O. shaft.
13.The power take-off shaft should always be turned off
when the angle is too great or the p.t.o. shaft is not
required!
14.Danger! Working elements continue to rotate after the
power take-off shaft is turned off! Do not approach the
machine during this time! Work may only be carried out
on the machine when the machine is fully stationary and
the rotating parts have been secured by the parking
brake.
15.Cleaning, lubrication or adjustment of the P.T.O. shaft
or any equipment driven by the power take-off shaft may
only be carried out when the P.T.O. shaft and the engine
are turned off and the ignition key has been removed!
Rotating parts must be secured with the parking brake.
16.Place the detached P.T.O. shaft on the support bracket
provided!
17.After removing the P.T.O. shaft, place the protective
cover on the stub of the power take-off shaft!
18.Any damage must be repaired immediately before any
work is carried out with the attachment!
Power take-off shaft operation
1. Only the P.T.O. shafts prescribed by the manufacturer
may be used!
2. Both male and female guard tubes and cones of all
P.T.O. shafts must be fitted and in good condition!
3. Observe the tube overlap prescribed for P.T.O. shafts in
transport and operating position!
4. Before installing or removing the P.T.O. shafts, make
sure to turn off the power take-off shaft and the engine,
and remove the ignition key!
5. When using P.T.O. shafts with overload or free wheel
clutches that are not covered by the guards on the
tractor, the overload or free wheel clutches must be fixed
on the implement side!
8
4. When there are functional hydraulic connections
between the machine and the implement, all coupling
sleeves and plugs must be marked to prevent operating
errors. If the connections are switched, the functions
are reversed (e.g. lifting and lowering) – this can
cause accidents!
5. Hydraulic hoses must be checked regularly, and they
must be replaced if they are damaged or worn.
Replacement hoses must conform to the technical
requirements of the implement manufacturer!
6. When tracing leaks, suitable aids should be used
to prevent injury!
7. Fluid leaking under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury! When
injury occurs, consult a doctor immediately! Danger of
infection!
8. Before carrying out any work on the hydraulic sys-
tems, lower the pick-up to the ground, depressurize
the system and turn off the engine!
Tyres
1. When working on the tyres, make sure that the
machine is safely supported and can not roll (wheel
blocks).
2. Fitting of wheels and tyres requires sufficient
knowledge and correct equipment!
3. Repair work to tyres and wheels must only be carried
out by specialist personnel, and only with the correct
equipment!
4. The tyre pressure must be checked regularly! The
recommended pressure must be adhered to!
Hydraulic System
1. The hydraulic system is pressurized!
2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors,
make sure that the hydraulic hoses are correctly
coupled!
3. When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor´s
hydraulic system, make sure that all pressure has
been released from the hydraulics of both the tractor
and the implement!
Maintenance
1. Repair, maintenance and cleaning work and the
correction of malfunctions must always be carried out
only when the drive is turned off and the engine is at
a standstill! Remove the ignition key! Apply the parking
brake.
2. Nuts and bolts must be checked regularly for tightness,
and tightened if necessary!
3. When carrying out maintenance work on the machine
in a lifted position, it must always be supported on
suitable jacks.
4. When replacing fittings that contain cutting blades,
always use suitable tools and gloves!
5. Oil, grease and filters must be correctly disposed of!
6. The power supply must always be disconnected before
any work is carried out on the electrical system!
7. If protective devices are subject to wear, they must be
checked regularly and replaced in good time!
8. When electric welding is carried out on the tractor and
any fitted attachments, the cables must be dis-
connected from the generator and battery!
9. Replacement parts must conform at least to the
technical requirements defined by the manufacturer!
The best guarantee is to use only original KRONE

1.3 Working Methods and Operating Principles of the KR 130 und KR 160
Round Balers
The round baler compresses crops such as hay, straw, grass silage etc. into round bales. On completion of the baling
procedure the bale is wrapped with twine, net or synthetic foil, depending on the type of wrapping material selected.
Due to their form, the round bales have good storage properties, can be transported simply and can be processed
further with ease.
The working method can be described as follows:
The crop is collected into a swath and taken in by the pick up, transported to the centre by the augers (only for wide
pick ups) and enters the bale chamber via the transport roller. In the bale chamber the crop is turned by the rotating
roller panel and rolled up. A roller-shaped round bale forms as the crop continues to enter. The bale becomes
increasingly compressed as more crop is fed into the round baler. Volume and baling pressure gauges are located on
the left and right in the front side of the baler for the corresponding side of the bale. A soon as the set baling pressure
on the baling pressure preselection gauge is reached, the wrapping process is started. Depending on the type of
equipment, the wrapping process can be started hydraulically or mechanically by hand using an actuating cord. On
completion of the wrapping process, the final round bale is transported through the open tail gate out of the round
baler and set down. The idle time during use can be reduced when closing the tail gate, due to the special design of
the bale ejector as a straw trap. This increases the efficiency of the round baler.

Always switch off the PTO shaft when undertaking maintenance, care and repair work.
Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Only use PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer which have an appropriate overload
coupling.
Only attach and detach the PTO shaft when the drive shaft is switched off, the engine is
switched off and the ignition key has been removed!
Lay hydraulic hoses, electric cables and synthetic cords such that they are not under
tension and do not come into contact with the tractor wheels when driving round
corners.
Take particular care on and around the tractor and the round baler when attaching
and detaching the round baler!
2. Preparing the Round Baler
2.1 Special Notes on Safety
The maximum drive speed for the round baler is 540 rpm.
Switch off the PTO shaft as soon as the round baler jams.
2.2 Adapting the Swinging Drawbar to the Tractor
The swinging drawbar on the round baler is designed for the various methods of attaching (above in three-point
linkage; below e.g. swinging drawbar). It must be mounted and adjusted in accordance with the different attachment
options for the tractor.
When mounting anything on the swinging drawbar always observe the following:
The teeth in the slots must be in the same position on both sides of the swinging drawbar.
First tighten the screw in the round holes. Make sure that the teeth in the slots mesh.
Only then should the screws in the slots be tightened.
Before starting work park the round baler on firm ground. Secure from rolling away.
Particular care is required when attaching the round baler to the tractor. Make sure that
there is nobody in the danger area round the tractor and round baler.
After attaching successfully, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.

Mounting the Swinging Drawbar for Top
Attachment
Height Adjustment of the Swinging
Drawbar
Attach the round baler.
Leave the machine on the jack
stands (4).
Loosen the fastening screws (3) - do
not take them out.
Bring the machine into the specified
position by turning on the jack
stands.
Tighten up the screws in the order
described above.
Mount the swinging drawbar (1) in the upper attachment
holes in the brackets (2) on the front cross carrier. The
height adjustment of the swinging drawbar is made as
described below in this chapter.
Rotate the swinging drawbar (1) through 180 degrees
about the lateral axis and mount it in the lower holes in
the brackets (2).
For optimum crop collection by the pick up, the round
baler must be attached horizontally to the tractor, if
necessary tilted forwards slightly. A corresponding fine
adjustment of the swinging drawbar (1) can be made at
the slots (2). This adjustment can be made while the
baler is coupled to the tractor.

2.3 Adapting the PTO Shaft
Attach the round baler to the tractor to adapt the length
of the PTO shaft. The PTO shaft is at its shortest when
going round tight corners. To measure, take the PTO
shaft apart and and slide the two halves (1) and (2) on
to the machine and the tractor. The exact procedure for
adapting the length can be found in the PTO shaft
manufacturer's operating instructions.
2.4 Cleaning and Checking the Double Twine Guide Starter Rollers
Before working on the starter rollers, switch off the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key. Secure the tractor and the round baler from rolling away.
The starter rollers are wrapped in adhesive tape to
protect them from corrosion. Remove the adhesive tape
and clean the rollers of any residual adhesive. The
pressure rollers (3) must be able to be rotated easily.
Turn the drive roller (1) to check. If the pressure rollers
do not rotate or only rotate with difficulty, refer to the
notes in the chapter "Care and Maintenance".
Before working on the PTO shaft, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor together with the round baler from rolling away.
When adapting the PTO shaft there must be nobody between the tractor and the round
baler.

2.5 Adjusting the Height of the Wheel
Hubs
Park the round baler on firm ground
and secure from rolling away with
wheel chocks.
To jack up the round baler, use a
suitable jack and jack stands.
Risk of crushing from falling
components.
For adaption to different tyre sizes and working
conditions, the height of the wheel hubs can be
adjusted on both sides of the round baler.
To adapt: Take off the tyres (make sure to observe
the "Tyres" section in the chapter "Care
and Maintenance").
Loosen the fastening screws (2) in the
flange plate (1), take it out and re-attach the
flange plate in a different position.
Tighten up the screws again (tightening
moments are listed in the chapter "Care
and Maintenance").

loads .
2.6 Putting the Round Baler into Operation
Attach the round baler to the attachment device, e.g. to
the attachment linkage (1), and secure as directed.
Attach the actuating cord (2) to the tractor. Make sure
that the actuating cord is not under tension and does
not come into contact with the tyres when driving round
corners.
This also applies for bottom attachment, not shown
