Daily reviews
This morning, the time had finally come again: Agritechnica 2025 opened its doors – and we at KRONE have everything ready for you. Our exhibition stand shines brightly under the motto ‘Your Harvest – Our Passion’, because this year we want to show you once again how much your work drives us every day.
The first day, heralded by Family Day, began with much anticipation, good conversations and curious glances at our new products. A special highlight had already caused excitement the evening before: to mark the 25th anniversary of the forage harvester, we presented the BiG X 1180 in the Black Edition under the motto ‘Born to perform’.
Another emotional moment was today's handover of a strictly limited Black Edition forage harvester model to our long-standing general importer Farmland from Ireland – a strong sign of 75 years of successful cooperation. There was also cause for celebration on a technical level: we received the DLG silver medal in the field of forage harvester, mower, mower conditioner and baler technology for the OptiSet on the KRONE Vendro.
A more than successful start!
We look forward to the coming days and your visit to Hall 27!
Today marked the start of AgriBusiness Days, and the KRONE exhibition stand was characterised by lively exchanges with numerous international guests. Many trade visitors from all over the world came to find out about our products and took the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions.
The Image Award 2025 for contractors was presented on Sunday evening during the BLU evening. The winners included contractors Janssen Rhede, Eesmann, Landservice Dählmann and Estermann. Mr Bernard Krone presented the award to contractor Janssen.
Another highlight was the presentation of our research project on the autonomous Combined Powers concept, which was presented to a delegation from the BLE (Federal Office for Agriculture and Food).
The focus today was on the BiG Pack HDP II 1290 VC and the CombiPack HDP, which attracted great interest with their performance and functional diversity. A multifaceted trade fair day with exciting insights from all over the world.
Today, we welcomed a total of 17 influencers to our stand. After a brief tour of the stand, everyone went up to the Drivers Deck, where they could enjoy the best view of our entire exhibition. This was followed by a special activity: the influencers hid ten vouchers on our stand – some of which are still waiting to be discovered. Our Bale Train was also the focus of attention today. In the evening, the Agrill initiative held an award ceremony for a barbecue construction competition. The KRONE Easy-Grill was also there for the occasion, serving as inspiration for the creative designs. The visual highlights at our stand were once again our BiG X in the ‘Black Edition’ and our baling technology in the new ‘Golden Green’ colour – both real eye-catchers that attracted a lot of curious glances. In an interview today, Mr Bernard Krone also emphasised how important it is for us to meet people on equal terms. Our stand should be a place where all customers feel welcome and have a good time. So please come and visit us in Hall 27! We look forward to more exciting days at the trade fair – in keeping with the spirit of ‘Your Harvest – Our Passion’.
The fourth day of the trade fair, themed International Farmers Day, was all about exchange, technical discussions and powerful moments. We had already enjoyed a special success the evening before. Our BiG Pack HDP II 1290 VC was voted Farm Machine 2026 in the feed harvesting category – a success that makes us particularly proud.
In addition, KRONE, in cooperation with other manufacturers and partners, was today awarded the DLG Future Prize for Agricultural Technology, which recognises visionary and forward-looking developments in agricultural technology. The FieldDataSync project aims to establish communication between agricultural machines via radio connection, thereby enabling cooperative working.
Overall, many visitors from all over the world took the opportunity to stop by our stand, find out more and talk to our experts.
The technical focus was on our mowers, which attracted a great deal of interest and sparked numerous exciting discussions.
Another day that showed what drives us – innovation, proximity and passion for agriculture. ‘Your Harvest – Our Passion.’
Today at the Agritechnica trade fair in Hanover was all about ‘Agrilogistics’ for us. Agricultural logistics is a key driver of efficiency in modern agriculture, because smooth transport and process chains create enormous time and cost advantages – an area in which we as the KRONE Group are particularly strong and in which the products of our partners Schwarzmüller and Knapen complement each other perfectly. Numerous visitors took the opportunity to find out about our digital solutions, innovative logistics chains and modern machine concepts.
The KRONE Fan Shop was also very popular: numerous visitors browsed through the range and took a piece of KRONE spirit home with them.
A particular highlight was the visit by over 1,200 schoolchildren from Spelle and the surrounding region, whom KRONE had invited to a guided tour of the trade fair. Many of them visited our stand today and gained exciting insights into the world of agricultural technology. We also welcomed Liebherr to our stand. The professional exchange and joint discussions once again underlined the close cooperation and importance of strong partnerships in the industry.
‘From stalk to cow’ – this is the guiding principle behind our joint project with smaXtec and Siloking, which intelligently connects the entire feed chain and will be presented at the KRONE stand. The combination of precise harvesting, mixing and health data ensures maximum efficiency and complete transparency – an important step towards even smarter feeding in the future. Another highlight of the day was the XCollect 750-2 RotoChop. With its working width of 7.5 m and integrated mulcher, this machine sets new standards in maize harvesting. It shreds and processes the maize stubble particularly intensively across the entire working width – for efficient, clean and sustainable stubble cultivation – two work processes in one. Overall, we once again saw great interest in our digital and technological innovations – an all-round successful trade fair day for KRONE.
Under the trade fair motto ‘Your Harvest – Our Passion’, an impressive final day of the trade fair came to an end today. The halls were once again extremely well attended, and there was a lively exchange of ideas at the KRONE stand throughout. The focus was on our ComPack round baler, which attracted a great deal of interest and many expert enquiries thanks to its many great features, such as a convenient silage additive dosing system. Managing Director Martin Eying draws a thoroughly positive conclusion: Great discussions, satisfied customers and a strong response characterised this successful trade fair appearance. At 6 p.m. sharp, the official end of the trade fair was heralded with the traditional honking of horns. The matt black BiG X 1180, the BiG X 630 and the BiG M 450 sounded their horns impressively – an emotional finale that once again made the KRONE stand a crowd puller in Hall 27. A very successful Agritechnica thus comes to an end – full of encounters, enthusiasm and genuine passion for tomorrow's harvest.
