Farmhand celebrates 25 years of the Krone BiG X at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore this September. To mark the occasion, visitors will be treated to a display of one of the first BiG X 650s to be sold in Ireland alongside the flagship 2025 machine, the BiG X 1180. Although the harvesting concept remains the same between the old 650 and new 1180, the continuous development between the two machines is clear to see.
