Grimme: Keep on track with the Root Runner

The automatic Root Runner steering system from Grimme controls the exact track guidance of the tractor. A manual feeler unit is attached to the front or directly onto the trailed sugar beet harvester and records manual signals.
The signals are dependent upon the shape of the row and form the basic information for the Grimme operator and the calculator unit.  This information is transferred to the tractor which has either an actuator at the steering wheel or an Isobus operated electro-hydraulic steering unit.
The Grimme Root Runner system relieves the operator from elaborate manual steering with complete automation of the tractor steering as soon as the system is in a row. This gives the operator more time to focus on the machine settings of the harvest system and to control the crop flow.
Especially on long working days this system relieves tiredness. The result with the Root Runner system is better production from the tractor – machine combination and an immensely better operation and driver comfort.
