NEW FEATURES FOR 2025 SEASON HAVE BEEN REVEALED FOR BUNKER HARVESTER, RECEIVING HOPPER, BED FORMER, SEPARATOR AND APPS
GRIMME launched the largest investment programme in the family company’s 160-year history this year and at its recent press day, the German manufacturer revealed some of the latest machinery and technical updates aimed at potato growers.
Despite the generally difficult situation in the agricultural machinery industry, sales for 2024 are stable thanks to good producer prices and high demand for innovative machines, its current managers, Christoph and Philipp Grimme, who are the fifth generation of the family, revealed.
“The vegetable sector demands further solutions in mechanisation, which offers great growth potential,” they said in a joint statement.
The EVO 280 two-row potato bunker-harvester, with MultiCrop intake, will be available in limited numbers in 2025, having just been presented by the company and the receiving hopper models of the RH-Combi series have many new features, with high-performance picking and sorting in a single pass with gentle crop handling being the focus points of the revised series.
The BF and BFL bed formers series has seen revisions for the one, two or three-bed system, while series production of the AIRSEP 290 began this year, with a new, functional design.
New ‘Fields’ and ‘Crops’ applications are now available to users of the free myGRIMME end customer portal which was first launched in 2017.
