Last week was spent in and around Inwood, IA with the Krone dealer there, Faber’s Farm Equipment. This is the second time to visit Faber’s on the demo tour. The first stop we made there was during grass season and now we are back to chop corn. The corn where we were was really good. It was 7 ½ - 8 feet tall and had large ears of corn.
We went to a few different places to demo the BiG X. The first demo was for a dairy and we took the BiG X 1000 and an EasyCollect 903, which is a 12 row trifold head. The machine really ran well and the customer was very impressed with the capacity of the BiG X 1000. After examining the chopped corn, they also really like the consistency of chop length and the kernel processing quality of the Krone KP. For the next demo we took the BiG X 1000 and EasyCollect 903 to a family farm and they were equally impressed with the quality the BiG X had to offer.
The next stop was to visit with two new customers who had just bought BiG Xs. I was able to get in the cab with them and show them some things that they didn’t know the BiG X could do. They were very appreciative of the support Krone showed them even after their purchase.
The last stop was to a customer who was running a John Deere chopper and who recently purchased an EasyCollect 6000F competitive corn head. (The competitive corn heads are able to fit on John Deere, New Holland, and Claas choppers.) This customer had some down corn and that is why he purchased the EC 6000F. I was there for the first time he ran it just in case he had any questions. So far the customer has been satisfied with his new corn head.
This week I am in Plainview, MN doing some more corn demos. I’ll let you know how it goes!
