Grimme has launched a new compact four-row potato planter called the GL420 Exacta for growers looking to combine cultivating and planting in the same pass. As an option, the Grimme RT300 rotary tiller or Amazone power harrow can be fitted to the machine.
The two-tonne bunker is positioned directly above the cultivator to help keep the working elements compact and within good visibility of the operator from the cab. During transport, the planter is carried on the tractor’s three-point linkage. A minimum of 140hp is required to pull the GL420 Exacta.
Accurate planting is maintained by hydraulically driven planting elements that work in the forward direction and are constantly filled from sensor-controlled filling elevators.
Optional extras include a shaping board or cage roller as well as from the carrier roller in front of the cultivator.
