1972<br />

And so it all began:<br />

Farmer’s son has designed a comprehensive harvester<br />

In 1972, just 25 years old,<br />

Hermann Paintner designed<br />

and built his first<br />

comprehensive self-propelled<br />

sugar beet harvester.<br />

A powerful ”piece of<br />

equipment“: that is the<br />

six-row beet harvester.<br />

This machine has already<br />

caused quite a stir among<br />

the professionals.<br />

100 hectares of beet fields are waiting for<br />

Paintner’s six-row machine<br />

khe. SITTELSDORF. One can well imagine the suspense<br />

that for some weeks captivated the occupants at the attractive<br />

Paintner farm similar to the atmosphere at Cape<br />

Kennedy prior to the launch of the first space craft. The<br />

Paintner family found themselves in exactly the same<br />

state when young Hermann, just 25 years old, was building<br />

his six-row beet harvester in the farm’s workshop:<br />

is this monster going to work or have the owners of 100<br />

hectares of land in the Rottenburg/Laaber and Mallersdorf<br />

regions backed a phantom?
