Planting technology - Cup planter | GL 410

4-row, 1 t bunker, for tractors from 70 HP

The GRIMME GL 410 is a lightweight, mounted, 4-row potato planter. The GRIMME professional planting element is the right choice for a very precise and even planting distance. Different setting options of the machine together with good calibrated seed enable a high planting speed. The chassis is integrated in front of the covering discs to reduce the required lifting power to a minimum direct ridge shaping in combination with a shaping board or cage roller ensures an even covering. A front tank system or granulate castor are available for this machine to combine several working steps.

Benefits

• The compact design of the carried machine gives a high manoeuvrability on the headland and uses less power consumption.
• The powerful planting element enables a simple adaption to the tuber size and ensures therefore an exact planting distance.
• The height adjustable axle controls the optimum depth adjustment.
• The furrow opener on a parallelogram for exact depth control are available as an option.
• A shaping board can be used for building ridges with specific characteristics from loose to firm soil with a smooth surface.
• Bigger ridges with a scope of up to 1.05 m by use of XL shaping boards. On soils with a tendency to water logging, the XL shaping boards are the ideal solution, as it allows a slightly higher tuber placement in the ridge. In addition, the bigger ridges give more room for a larger tuber nest, meaning green tubers are reduced to a minimum.
• PE lining in the XL shaping board for less soil sticking and reduced power consumption
• For an improved water absorption on light soils, cage rollers can be used in combination with fix or spring-loaded ridging bodies. The cage rollers provide a light, airy ridge with an open-pored surface.
• The GRIMME nozzle system ensures complete dressing of the tuber, and the GRIMME tank system enables a safe handling as well as a proper crop protection
• Change between seed dressing and liquid chemical furrow application in a machine is possible
• Option to applicate micro granular directly into the furrow for an optimum growing start or for seed protection
• The miss indicator option relieves the driver by monitoring the correct filling of the cups.
• Comfortable machine control with the GRIMME video system
