What the EasyCut B1000 is used for
The EasyCut B1000 is used where large areas of grass must be cut quickly for silage, haylage or hay. Its rear butterfly pair is normally worked with a front mower, allowing contractors and larger farms to make effective use of favourable mowing weather.
It is rear-mounted, PTO driven and intended for a higher-horsepower tractor. It makes most sense where field size, access and transport arrangements can accommodate a wide front-and-rear mowing combination.
Why the Krone EasyCut B1000 stands out
The B1000 stands out for forming a very wide mower combination with a front mower, at about 9.7 to 10 m overall. Tine and roller conditioning choices allow owners to tailor crop treatment. Its output is compelling, but front mower compatibility, tractor capacity and safe access between fields remain important buying considerations.
Buying a used Krone EasyCut B1000
Check both rear mower units for cutterbar leaks, worn discs, damaged blades and evidence of impact damage. Operate the butterfly folding system and inspect hydraulic pipes, rams, hinges, PTO shafts and guards. Examine the conditioner components, tyres, linkage mounts, paintwork and corrosion, and establish whether it has been used with a suitable front mower. Confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records; values vary by condition, so check current listings rather than a fixed price.
Krone EasyCut B1000 frequently asked questions
Is the Krone EasyCut B1000 a complete mower combination on its own?
It is a rear butterfly disc mower-conditioner pair. For the stated full working combination, it is typically paired with a front mower, so buyers should consider the complete front-and-rear setup rather than viewing the rear unit in isolation.
What cutting width can an EasyCut B1000 combination achieve?
With a front mower, the verified working width is about 9.7 to 10 m. Actual suitability depends on overlap, field conditions and the rest of the combination, but it is clearly intended for high-output grass mowing.
Which conditioner types were offered on the B1000?
The EasyCut B1000 was available with either tine or roller conditioning. Both are verified options; the preferable arrangement depends on the crop, desired wilting behaviour and how the farm or contractor normally handles its forage.
