Grimme has developed an innovative new Spring Greens Harvester.
The PO-335-SG is the first ever mechanised solution for harvesting spring greens and borrows some of the technology found in the Asa-Lift PO-335 Leek Harvester to ensure gentle handling.
A side-mounted machine, the PO-335-SG cuts in a single row and presents the spring greens onto an inspection belt before landing them into boxes via the side elevator. The harvester also features automatic height control and the inspection table can be easily adjusted for different-sized crops. A hydraulic elevator for unloading on the move is also provided.
Orders for the Spring Greens Harvester can be placed now for delivery in time for the 2023 harvest.
“Until now, if someone wanted to harvest spring greens, they would have to employ people to do so by hand,” Grimme UK’s vegetable product specialist, Rob Wilkinson, said. “Now, thanks to Grimme’s ingenuity, growers can reduce their labour costs and the time needed to harvest their crop. We think the PO-335-SG will attract a lot of interest.”
