ARM MACHINE 2026 Award Winner — Maximum Bale Density, Unmatched Power | Exclusive KRONE Dealer
The KRONE BiG Pack HDP II 1290 (VC) is a professional-grade large square baler redefining the standard for straw baling density and throughput, and the winner of the FARM MACHINE 2026 award in the forage harvesting category. Eight snippet-free KRONE V-knotters guarantee maximum tying reliability at the highest baling densities, while the proven Active Pick-up — now with a hydraulically adjustable crop press roller — delivers maximum throughput with minimal wear. A VariCut cutting unit with a choice of 26 or 51 blades, an electronically adjustable Variable Filling System, and the KRONE PowerClean positive-pressure knotter cleaning system combine to keep this machine running at full capacity through the harshest, dustiest conditions. Large 26.5″ (or optional 30.5″) tyres protect the sward while minimising rolling resistance, and the machine comes ready for BaleCollect and an optional integrated silage additive dosing system as standard.
As the exclusive authorised KRONE dealer in the UAE, Al Shirawi Enterprises supplies the BiG Pack HDP II 1290 (VC) along with genuine spare parts and after-sales support across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah.

Recognised as the best forage harvesting machine of the year by an independent European jury.
The highest knotter count in the BiG Pack range for maximum tying reliability at maximum density.
A new conical bale channel floor and up to seven massive hydraulic cylinders deliver the highest density bales in the range, cutting bale count and improving transport and storage efficiency.
A choice of 26- or 51-blade cassettes on a 72 cm rotor for maximum throughput and cutting quality even in demanding, stony conditions.
A more powerful hydraulic starter motor spins the flywheel up to 400 rpm before PTO engagement, for smoother, lower-wear starts.
Twin hydraulic turbines keep the knotter bay, twine box areas, and axles free of debris in the dustiest conditions.
A large, non-slip maintenance platform around the knotter unit and simplified service points cut time spent on upkeep.
Every HDP II 1290 (VC) connects to KRONE’s digital ecosystem out of the box, with SmartBale app compatibility for bale-level tracking.

Where the BiG Pack HDP II 1290 (VC) Delivers Best Performance
| Requirement | Why It Matters | BiG Pack HDP II 1290 (VC) (Al Shirawi Enterprises) |
|---|---|---|
| Bale density | Higher density cuts bale count, twine cost, and transport/storage cost per tonne | Highest density in KRONE’s large square baler range |
| Knotter reliability at scale | More knotters under sustained heavy use raises failure risk | 8 snippet-free KRONE V-knotters, PowerClean-cleaned |
| Cutting flexibility | Different straw uses need different cutting lengths | VariCut, 26 or 51 blades |
| Dealer authorisation | Determines warranty validity and genuine service access | Exclusive authorised KRONE dealer in UAE |
| Spare parts sourcing | Grey-market parts risk failure and void warranty | Genuine KRONE parts, stocked UAE-wide |
| After-sales service | Directly affects machine uptime during narrow harvest windows | Dedicated after-sales and on-farm support |
It’s a professional-grade large square baler built for maximum bale density and throughput in straw, hay, and silage baling, aimed at contractors and large commercial operations that need the highest baling performance available from KRONE.
It was recognised in the forage harvesting category of the FARM MACHINE awards (formerly Machine of the Year, awarded since 1997) for combining maximum baling density, high throughput, and intelligent technology with improved operator comfort, ease of maintenance, and durability compared to its predecessor.
Both share the same 120×90 cm chamber, 8 double knotters, and 45 strokes-per-minute plunger speed. The VC variant adds the VariCut cutting system (26 or 51 blades) for short, high-quality straw cutting, at a higher 258 hp power requirement versus 231 hp on the non-cutting version.
Generation 5’s own range tops out at the BiG Pack 1290 HDP VC (245 hp). The HDP II 1290 (VC) is a separate, newer flagship launched in 2025 with additional knotters (8 vs. 6), a more powerful hydraulic starter, a new conical bale channel floor, and higher power requirements (up to 258 hp) — representing a further step up in density and throughput.
Pricing depends on the model (standard or VC), cutting blade configuration, and options such as the silage additive dosing system, moisture sensor, or bale weighing chute.
