2021 Grimme GL Series 860

The 8-row trailed potato planter GRIMME GL 860 for a high acreage performance. 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. Using a combination of under-root fertilisation, ridge shaping , as well as the application of liquid seed dressing and furrow treatment agent, the efficiency can be significantly increased. 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. The weight of the machine is carried on up to 8 wheels (option) to reduce the ground compaction.

Barrel system for liquid tuber dressing and furrow treatment as well as a fertilizer spreader for under-root fertilisation.

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

To distribute the weight of the potato planter with full hopper to as many wheels as possible, the machine can be equipped with a chassis of 8 wheels.

With the deep hopper it is possible to fill the machine directly from the trailer.

Long drawbar allows close turning manoeuvres.

An end-tow kit is available for a safe transport on the road.

Features may include:

• The powerful planting element enables a simple adaption to the tuber size and ensures therefore an exact spacing.

• The deep lowering (option) of the tipping hopper enables direct filling from the trailer.

• For an improved water absorption on light soils, cage rollers can be used in combination with spring-loaded ridging bodies. The cage rollers provide a light, airy ridge with an open-pored surface.

• Efficient and resource-saving use of fertiliser through application directly when planting with the GRIMME fertiliser box.

• 4 large wheels enable a high loading capacity with good traction also on light soil.

• Adjustment of tuber spacing and fertiliser output, simply done at the side of the machine.

• A shaping board can be used for building ridges with specific characteristics from loose to firm soil with a smooth surface.

• The approved GRIMME tank system ensures even application of the tuber with liquid chemicals and offers the driver many comfort functions.
