The Krone TX 560 D is a Tipper available in Farming Simulator 17. It is a super-large tipper, and has one of the highest Cargo Capacity values in the game. However, it can only carry a very limited variety of cargo materials. The TX 560 D is the ultimate Tipper for Forage Harvesters, being both large, light, and capable of carrying any materials produced by such harvesters.

Advantages

  • Massive Capacity: The TX 560 D can carry 56,000 Liters of cargo, which is one of the highest capacities of any Tipper model. Since it can carry any material produced by a Forage Harvester, it is easily the best Tipper to attach to the back of such a harvester for all manners of forage work.
  • Largest with Ball Attachment: The TX 560 D is the largest Tipper that has a Drawbar (Ball) attachment, and thus the largest available model that can be connected directly to most vehicles (with no need for a Dolly).
  • Light: Despite its massive size, the TX 560 D weighs just a little more than a mid-small Tipper. Additionally, since most of the cargo types it can carry are also light, it will remain relatively light even when completely full of cargo.

Disadvantages

  • Limited Cargo Varieties: The TX 560 D can only carry Grass, Hay, Straw, Silage, Chaff, and Wood Chips. It does not accept any other type of cargo. Therefore, it cannot be used for harvesting Crops normally, nor to transport crops (or most other solid cargo) from place to place.
  • No Rear Attachment Point: The TX 560 D does not have any attachment points at the rear. If you want to hook it up in a chain, it has to be the rearmost Tipper.
  • No Unloading Options: The TX 506 D can only dump cargo by opening its rear door and allowing the cargo to slide out. It does not even have a grain door for precision dumping.
