Harvesting Technology - Windrower | WR 200

2-row, trailed, adaptable to various conditions, from 47 HP on

Potatoes and other root crops are harvested worldwide using various methods and degrees of mechanisation. With the windrower type WR 200, GRIMME offers a trailed harvester, which has been designed for various applications, using the well proven digging units from the 2-row harvesting technology of the SE series. Thanks to its easy handling and the minimum required tractor power of 47 hp, the modular designed harvester is the perfect machine to start mechanised harvest of potatoes and other root crops. Depending on the machine-model, the crop is deposited centrally or laterally behind the machine. Configured as a machine with centre deposit, the potatoes can either be collected by hand or picked up in a two-phase harvesting process after drying with a windrow intake. The reduced amount of adherent soil improves the suitability for long-term storage of the potatoes and results in a significant increase in performance of the following harvester. Equipped with a crop cross conveyor the harvester WR 200 can also be used in enhanced harvesting processes. In this case, the crop from two rows is deposited laterally between the next two neighbouring rows and then harvested together. In addition to protecting the crop and improving sieving performance, the "enhanced harvesting process" also significantly increases the output of the following potato harvester.

Benefits

• General information about WR
• Easy to pull but strong machine starting at 47 HP tractor power
• For row widths of 75 and 90 cm
• As standard with four spring loaded disc coulters and two diablo rollers for accurate depth control of the ridge intake.
• The drive and the digging units are taken from proven 2-row harvester technology
• Reliability and low maintenance also with high output
• A load-sensing kit to reduce oil heating and energy input is available
• WR 200 CE
• A bed level adjuster and a following bed roller ensure an even and slightly compacted surface, the harvested crop stays on the surface for better drying.
• With its long, continuously from the front to the back running main web, and a central, superficial deposit of the harvested tubers and no specific haulm separation, the machine is perfectly suitable for the entry into mechanised potato harvesting.
• WR 200 CHE
• Suitable for two-phase (delayed, discontinous) harvest process
• A bed level adjuster and a following bed roller ensure an even and slightly compacted surface, the harvested crop stays on the surface for better drying.
• Behind the long main web the machine is equipped with an extracting roller in order to remove haulm from the crop flow.
• Extracted haulm is deposited next to the potatoes, by use of a traverse haulm discharge conveyor.
• The windrowing machine with its counter-rotating hedgehog belt and a central, superficial deposit of the potatoes is ideally suited for the two-phase harvesting process. In this case the machine is followed by a single-row potato harvester.
• WR 200 CDW
• Suitable for two-phase (delayed, discontinous) harvest process
• A bed level adjuster and a following bed roller ensure an even and slightly compacted surface, the harvested crop stays on the surface for better drying.
• A long first main web, followed by a drop step onto the second main web ensure an improved sieving performance of impurities.
• Due to the central superficial depositing of the potatoes, gently guided by double scraper roller on both sides, the machine is ideally suited for the two-phase harvesting process in combination with a single or double row potato harvester.
• WR 200 S
• Suitable for two-phase fortified harvest process
• A long first main web, followed by a drop step onto a short second main web ensure a good sieving performance of impurities.
• Behind the first main web, an extracting roller separates the haulm and weed from the crop flow.
• The crop cross conveyor, which is mounted on the rear side of the main web, enables this machine to be used in an enriched harvesting process - in combination with a two-row potato harvester (2 + 2 = 4 rows).
