High-performance harvesting methods with 2-row self-propelled harvesters are of particular importance in many regions. Especially for these harvesters GRIMME offers the HT 200, as a perfectly matching 2-row haulm topper with lateral haulm discharge. The machine can be used either for a row width of 90 cm or in beds with a track width of 180 cm. The potato haulm is mechanically crushed and conveyed to the side of the ridges. The lateral discharge of the haulm significantly reduces the risk of blockages at the intake unit and increases the machine capacity accordingly. This applies in particular to modern potato varieties, which have an enormous amount of high, strong haulm to improve assimilation for an increased yield. A further advantage is the reduced load on the separation devices, which minimises harvest losses and increases separation quality. The working depth is adjusted conveniently via operator terminal.
