Separator
C Ss e r ie s
The second step is an optimum
soil separation. The separator picks
up the soil from the previously shaped
bed and sieves the soil. The stones
are placed in between the beds
via a cross conveyor. The C S series
is available in 3 variants for
various conditions.
Bed former
B F 200
This machine forms 2 beds per
passage and is suitable for bed
widths from 1.80 m. Depending on
soil conditions, different plough
bodies are available. All machines
of the B F series can for instance
be eq uipped with an automatic
hydraulic stone protection.

also be eq uipped with different

a trouble-free road transport.
These machines can among
others be eq uipped with
feeler wheels for an accurate

W ith the MAX I B ed method, the 1.8 m

bed into which three rows of potatoes
are planted. F or this new method,
G rimme has developed a matching
bed former, separator and elevator
harvester. All these machines are
approved for road traffic.
During practical application, this
method causes an increase in the
hectare output per machine by up to
50 % , resulting from the 1.5 times
wider bed. B y reducing the tracks
compared to the conventional method,
up to 10 % more useful net acreage
is available per hectare, in particular
in vegetable cultivation.

M o u n te d c u p p la n te r s
The mounted potato planters are
eq uipped with large covering discs
to provide enough soil to shape
large-volume ridges. Another feature
is the trailed furrow opener in the
parallelogram, which guarantees a
planting depth that is optimised at all
times, irrespective of soil conditions
or machine weight.

The 8-row G L 860 C ompacta (3 ) is
the first foldable potato planter built
by G rimme that is approved for road
traffic. The innovative C ompacta
folding mechanism permits a q uick
ex tension and retraction of the outer
wings to a dimension (4 ) that is
approved for road traffic. Thus, the
G L 860 C ompacta with its 6-ton
bunker counts among the most
powerful and efficient potato
planters in the market.
T r a ile d c u p p la n te r
The trailed 4 -, 6-, or 8-row cup planters are true all-rounder. Depending on the req uirements,
they can be eq uipped with a fertilize r box, seed dressing attachments, deep bunker, steering axl e,
various shaping boards, rotary hillers or cultivators and many more.

that holds 4 50 kg can be ext ended
by means of a funnel-shaped

G rimme belt planter G B 3 3 0. At the
same time, the planting elements have
retained the proven shape and

R L 4 00 is the first digitally controlled
windrower ever to be built. The
standard VC 50 touch screen
terminal gives the operator the

by modern potato harvesters.
The R L 4 00 can be eq uipped with
either a centre or a side discharge.

The 2-row, high-performance
W R 200 has been developed for

intake unit originates from the
time-tested 2-row bunker harvester
SE 150-60. The W R 200 is
available in five different variants,
so that the right eq uipment is
available for every application and
purpose. The picture shows the
variant for 2-phase methods

1-row bunker harvester
SE 7 5 - 20
This single row off-set trailed potato
harvester is eq uipped with a 2-ton
bunker (optional 2.3 tons). Due to
its low and compact design, this
machine is particularly suited for
smaller to medium-size d cultivated
areas. The manoeuvrability is
increased by an optionally available
hydraulic axl e steering.
SE 1 4 0
The SE 14 0 is a very compact yet powerful harvester with 4 -ton bunker.
The machine is optionally available with 75 cm or 85 cm wide intake channel.
As with all harvesters of the SE series, the patented unit consisting of deviner
web and second main web provides for optimum sieving, haulm separation
and gentle conveying of the potatoes.

drawbar adj ustment.
SE 260
The 2-row, off-set trailed SE 260 with
6-ton bunker, G rimme supplements
its very successful SE 150-60 series
and with that is able to enter the
performance dimension of 2-row
bunkers at an attractive price.
The digging technology is based on a
combination of the powerful yet gently
harvesting elements of the 2-row
SE 150-60 and the easy harvest flow
of the single-row SE 75-55. The
machines’ compact design makes
them highly manoeuvrable which
offers many benefits especially
at row ends. The low weight of
9 .2 tons and the wide tyres with
their dimension up to 800/4 5-3 0.5
are very gentle on the soil.
The SE 260 is suited for tractors
from 110 H P onwards.

SE 1 5 0- 60
This machine is the top-selling 2-row
off-set trailed bunker harvester
worldwide and convinces with a high
output combined with gentle harvest
handling. Apart from the 6-ton
standard bunker, a 7.5-ton large
bunker as well as a 5.8-ton unloading
bunker are available. H ydraulic axl e
steering and convenient digital
control come as a standard.
SV 260
The 2-row bunker harvester SV 260
has been developed for very heavy
harvesting conditions. The proven
technology of the SE 150-60 bunker
harvester is the basis for the intake
and bunker variants (5.8-ton overloading, 6-ton standard and 7.5-ton
large bunker). A special feature is
the high degree of variability offered
for the selection and combination of
the high-performance separators.
Double MultiSep, MultiSep with roller

MultiSep with fine haulm elevator are
available in the lower and upper deck.

and when unloading the bunker during
digging remains constantly small
due to the fact that no dump cone
is moved sideways.

Simple and robust, this is the formula
for the development of the trailed
6-row beet harvester R O O TSTER with
4 -ton overloading bunker. All machine
functions can be conveniently
controlled via an operator terminal.
All other drives are mechanical and
of low-maintenance design. This does
not only make it easier to carry out
repairs, but also reduces the req uired
power (from 110 kW / 150 H P ).

The 6-row inline front mulcher F M 3 00
has an ext remely compact design and
defoliates the beet in a particularly
gentle manner. The F M 3 00 is
eq uipped with patented, counterrotating
multi- and cleaner shafts. W ith the
F M 3 00 it is possible to dig the whole
beet, thus achieving clearly higher
volume yields than with the
conventional scalping method.
The optional R ootR unner steering system
will take control of the steering giving
automatic tracking of the tractor by means
of an electric motor that is switched on
at the steering wheel or directly via the
I SO B U S interface on the tractor. This
provides lasting relief for the driver.
