GRIMME’S new generation of two-row, self-propelled harvesters in the Varitron series sees a focus on the new cab, with a revised operating concept and various improvements along the crop flow for harvesting potatoes.
The new cab features generous leg room, narrow pillars and a two-zone automatic climate control system. It has a large windscreen, swivelling leather seat and large CCI 1200 operator terminal with the GRIMME Digital Interface (GDI. All functions can be monitored with up to 13 cameras on a 12 inch display of the SmartView video system. In addition to the flexible operation layout, the features of zooming and live slow motion are included as standard.
All-round visibility at night and in poor weather conditions is favoured by the new LED lighting. For the documentation of harvest masses, the harvester can be equipped with an integrated system for mass mapping.
An interchangeable device is available for exchanging the intake components. The proven concept of depth control remains in place with TerraDisc and TerraControl. Uniform mechanical coupling points enable quick changeover, similar to those in the manufacturer’s four-row harvesters.
A new spiral roller is available for the roller separator, in which the material composition has been changed and the height of the spiral almost doubled. This increases the passage for impurities, boosts the separation performance and reduces wear on the rollers.
The combination of a double-separator with a downstream fitted fine haulm elevator is unique in this machine class. The double-separator can be configured as a Double-MultiSep or as a roller separator in combination with MultiSep. The GRIMME specific TwinSep can be used as a crop-friendly bypass to the roller separator.
To remove and to prevent any blockage, all main webs, the fine haulm elevator and the ring elevator can be individually and conveniently reversed from the operator cab.
The optional weather roof, available with or without side panels, protects the picking crew in all weathers. The white roof tarp is colour-neutral and supports the reliable recognition of green tubers.
