GL 420

4-row, up to 2 t hopper, mounted, for a versatile application range

Product features | GL 420

The GL 420 is a mounted, 4-row potato planter with a unique variety of options for almost every grower. The GRIMME professional planting element is the right choice for a very precise and even planting distance. Different setting options of the machine together with good calibrated seed enable a high planting speed. The machine design with large covering discs in front of running wheels enables easy pulling of the machine, pre-shapes the ridge and avoids soil compaction of loose soil by the running wheels. Several work steps can be combined with the cup planter GL 420. Integrating features such as active soil cultivation, application of granulates, furrow treatment agents and liquid tuber dressing, placement of the tuber, ridge building and erosion control, everything can be realised. The machine can be optionally equipped with solutions for the implementation of Clever Planting, Section Control and site-specific farming using application maps.

Combining work steps

The potato planter GL 420 can be equipped with the LEMKEN Zirkon 12 rotary cultivator for soil cultivation and planting in a single operation step.

Ridge shaping on light soils

For an improved water absorption on light soils, cage rollers can be used in combination with spring-loaded ridging bodies.

Ideally suited for chitted seed

For all those who want to maintain the lead of pre-sprouted tubers, GRIMME offers a moving floor unit. The long floor offers you more time to gently pour following tubers onto the supply belts.

The ideal combination

Convenient especially for short headlands and smaller acreage. A compact tractor implement combination of potato planter GL 420 and rotary tiller GR 300 is available for these requirements.

Potato cultivation with improved protection against erosion

TerraProtect creates small transverse ridges, so-called dykes, between the potato ridges. The dykes reduce the risk of erosion and at the same time promote water absorption.

Combined plant protection

GRIMME tank system TS 820, authorized for liquid chemicals to be applied onto the seed potatoes and/or into the furrow.
