2021 Grimme ROOTSTER 604

Simple and robust, this was the formula for the development of the trailed beet harvester ROOTSTER with 4 t overloading bunker, which can also be used for harvesting chicory roots and celeriac. A significant advantage of the trailed harvesting technology is its simple operation and service-friendly design. Use of the ROOTSTER as 1-phase system by using the FT 300 or FM 300 or the 2-phase system by using the BM 300. Machine setting to 45 or 50 cm row width.

With the hydraulically articulated drawbar, the digging can be adapted precisely to the conditions and thus ensures optimum harvesting results.

The hydraulically driven Oppel wheel lifts the crop out of the ground in an extremely gentle way and with minimal earth build-up.

The ROOTSTER is equipped with a 6 m³ overloading bunker. Thus there is enough buffer volume available for changing the transporting vehicles.

The cranked design of the tines of the cleaning turbines ensures a maximum cleaning under all conditions.

Features may include:

• Efficient and economic alternative for harvesting of beet, chicory roots and celeriac.

• Extraordinary maintenance friendly

• Large volume buffer bunker of 6 m³ for non-stop use

• Possibility to determine the best date of harvesting on your own, independently from larger contractors resp. harvest-communities.

• High operating comfort

• Application in 1- and 2-phase harvesting process

• Low investment

• All 1- and 2-phase systems can be pulled by tractors, which are available on the farm

• Selectable row width of 45 to 50 cm, resp. 18 to 20 inch

• tractor attachment via drawbar incl. hydraulic drawbar steering

• Digging unit with Oppel wheels, which are hydraulically driven on both sides

• Depth guidance via hydraulic lifting cylinder incl. spindle adjustable end stop.

• The first cleaning unit consists of a cross roller table with one plain roller plus 4 axial rollers, 2 merging rollers

• The second cleaning unit consists of three cleaning turbines (diameter of 1700/1350/1350 mm) and a mechanical guide bars adjustment.

• Buffer bunker with a capacity of 4 t (6 m³) and a 1000 mm wide, hydraulically pivoting unloading web for fast emptying.

• The chassis consists of a gantry axle incl. hydraulic axle steering, with two wheels 600/55-26.5.

• Electro hydraulic operation from the driver's cab.

• Power transmission via PTO shaft 1000 rpm.
