In May this year, Krone used social media to encourage its fans to submit an action picture of one of its machines. The response was overwhelming and 1,000 photographs were sent in from all around the world. The best are on the company’s 2022 calendar.

It must have been a tough decision to choose the best dozen images, plus an extra one for the front cover. The selected photographs were snapped in Austria, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany (2), Slovakia, Ireland, the Netherlands (2), New Zealand and the USA. The front cover picture was also taken in Germany.

Tastes will differ, but to my mind the picture of a Big M450 at work in the USA is a cracker. So too are the stunning Austrian and Slovakian locations for a Big Pack 1290 and I particularly like the Australian sunset setting with a Premos 5000 pulled behind a Challenger tracked tractor.

National holidays are listed for several countries (no UK dates) and a page is reserved for a 2023 year planner. The 60cm-wide x 42cm-high calendar costs €12.90 and can be ordered online via the Krone shop:
