Separating 

Separating is the basic for high quality 

potato growing on stony and cloddy 

grounds. The user uses the advantages 

of the effective separating of clods and 

BF 200 

The machine shapes with 

each crossing of the field two 

beds and is suitable for a bed 

width from 1.8 m. Various 

bodies available for the different 

soil conditions. An option is an 

automatic, hydraulically 

operated stone protection. 

BF 400/600 

The BF 400 or BF 600 shape 

3 or 4 beds with each crossing 

of the field and also available 

with various bodies for different 

soil conditions. The especially 

strong folding frame ensures 

safe road transport. Depth 

wheels are also available for this 

machine for exact depth control. 

Bed Forma

The second step is optimized 

soil separation. The separator 

lifts the soil from the pre-shaped 

bed and sieves the soil. The 

cross conveyor transfers and 

deposits the stones in the tracks 

between the beds. CS-series 

is available in 3 versions for the 

various conditions. 

MAXI-Bed cultivation 

method 

With the new MAXI-Bed 

cultivation method in lieu of a

Rotary tiller or ridging hillers are used for 

ridge shaping in different conditions to 

achieve good soil crumb and bulbous 

ridges. Stable bulbous ridges ensure 

GH-series 

2-, 4-, 6- and 8-row ridging 

hillers of the GH-series are 

available (1). The 8-row ridging 

hiller is available as a folding 

version for road transport or use 

as a 2-row hiller (2). A double 

toolbar consists of a robust 

welded frame, onto which a 

choice of ridging bodies, discs 

or tines can be fitted. Another 

benefit: the rigid construction – 

even under high loads. 

GE-series 

Dyker 

The Grimme dyker digs small 

holes in the ground for a better 

irrigation. This option ensures a 

better water supply in the potato 

ridges and avoids soil erosion 

under heavy rain. 

The 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-row single row hiller is fitted to the same 

stable basic frame as the ridging hillers. The machine is especially 

designed for cultivating in fields where the crop has emerged. 

The spring loaded single row shaper moves soil onto the ridge 

without damaging the emerged crop.

Harvest preparation 

Haulm toppers do not only allow an 

easier harvesting but also guarantee a 

more efficient harvest. Haulm cutting 

several weeks before harvesting is one 

KS-series 

The 2-, 4- or 6-row haulm 

toppers are convincing because 

of its robust and durable 

construction. The powerful 

V-belt drive is easy to set with 

the low maintenance automatic 

belt-tensioning. A quick conversion 

between front and rear mounting 

is possible with just a few manual 

manoeuvres. The flail blades 

set to the suit the rows. Haulm 

deflector plates guide the haulm 

between the rows. Another option 

is the cross conveyor which is 

available on some models. 

WR 200 

At home all over the world: 

the 2-row windrower WR 200. 

In order to meet the growing 

demands regarding performance 

and gentle harvest handling, we 

have developed the new WR 200. 

Its modular design combines 

the proven digging units from 

the SE family with different

Handling equipment 

Since 1999 the handling equipment 

belongs to the product range in the 

Grimme program. Innovative ideas, 

technical developments and refinement – 

TH-series 

With the tandem receiving 

hopper TH you reduce the waiting 

time, immensely, of the lorries at 

the store. Unloading the tandem 

receiving hopper hydraulically 

ensures the most effective use 

of the following receiving hopper 

volume. This creates an immense 

higher buffer volume for the whole 

following storing line. You ensure 

an even crop flow at a high level. 

Shorter unloading time, increased 

transport capacity with the same 

transport chain and increased 

output with the whole storing line: 

Those are the features of the 

tandem receiving hopper TH. 

RH-series 

these make the Grimme handling and 

storage equipment incomparable. For 

all machines such as receiving hopper, 

field loading station, conveyors, box filler 

Receiving Hopper 

or store loader the focus is always kept 

on high output and gentle crop handling 

at the same time. 

Receiving hoppers of the robust RH-series receive the harvested crop from the transport lorry. It ensures another gentle 

cleaning and crop grading. Unique is the flexible electro-hydraulic drive as well as the gentle working PU-coils for high 

trash separation. Depending on the requirements machines with a hopper volume from 4 m³ to 21 m³ are available. 

The receiving hopper is also as a combi unit with picking platform and various separating and grading units available.

side. Another feature Is that the 

GBF-module is connected directly 

to the RH 16-40 receiving hopper, 

both machines are automatically 

controlled with the flow-control 

program to avoid overfilling 

of the boxes and ensuring a 

consistent working procedure.

Sugar beet technology 

On the Agritechnica 2003 Grimme launched the 

self propelled sugar beet harvester MAXTRON 620 

and started in a new field beside the potato and 

vegetable crop technology. The unique digging and 

drive concept inspired the professional visitors 

straight away and the MAXTRON 620 was awarded 

to the “Machine of the year 2004” and with 

two DLG-silver medals. In a short time another 

self propelled harvester, three trailed harvester, 

mulcher, defoliator and special receiving hopper 

were developed for the sugar-beet section. In 

close co-operation with a university and users 

the front-mulcher for self propelled harvester was 

developed. The machine removes the beet leaves 

gently and perfectly with the result that up to 10 % 

more material yield per hectare is achieved compared 

to the usual procedures. These activities show the 

importance with which the sugar beet technology 

has been achieved by Grimme.

Trailed harvesting systems 

for sugar beet 

2-phase: you prepare your harvest perfectly 

with the high-performance leaf defoliator 

BM 300/330. After the clean removal of 

the beet leaves, the optional hydraulically 

driven disc scalper performs the precise 

topping cut. 1-phase: you have a choice 

whether you want to classically separate

with the front topper FT 300. Or you can 

choose the much discussed defoliating 

of your beet and decide on the FM 300. 

The Rootster 604 harvester will take care 

of the digging, cleaning and transferring 

of the beet from all three models.

Defoliator 

The high performance defoliator 

BM 300/330 chops and removes 

the beet leaves across the entire 

machine width. Equipped with a 

durable steel flail shaft, as well as 

two non-wear cleaning shafts. As 

an option is the hydraulically 

driven disc scalper with feeler 

combs which ensures a precise 

contour guidance. The BM 300/330 

is available in two working widths: 

in Western Europe featuring 6-rows 

at 45 – 50 cm = 300 cm as well as 

in Eastern Europe and in the US at 

6 x 56 cm = 330 cm. 

Rootster 604/804/904 

Simple and robust, that was the 

focus at the development of the 

trailed sugar beet harvester 

Rootster with 4 tonne intermediate 

bunker. The machine is designed 

for 6-, 8- or 9-row harvest. All 

machines function easily controlled 

from operator terminal in the 

tractor cab. All drives are manual 

and for low-maintenance, that 

not only makes possibly necessary 

repairs easy to manage but also 

reduces the required power 

to 110 kW (1150 HP). 

Rootliner 600 

The three-point carried 

Rootliner 600 from Grimme 

is especially developed for 

those farmers, which want to be 

flexible and independent for 

the sugar beet harvest. Ground 

driven Oppel wheels lift the 

sugar beet and transfer it to the 

cleaning unit with axial rollers 

followed by two turbines. Simple 

operation from the tractor cab.
