Significant leap forward in efficient farming practices

The Grimme Select 200 is a formidable addition to the world of trailed potato harvesting which has gained attention for its ground-breaking approach to efficiency, the company says.

It employs the latest advancements in machinery design and telematics to ensure optimal harvesting performance, resulting in improved crop sample and, ultimately, more marketable yield, Grimme claims.

This innovative harvester is equipped with the latest I-systems technology including the SmartView camera system designed by Grimme. Cameras collect real-time video as the crop is harvested, while giving the operator the option to pause, rewind, zoom in and playback in slow motion. Thanks to the SmartView video system, which was awarded a silver medal by the German Agricultural Society (DLG) for its unique features, the driver maintains an overview of the entire machine.

MyGrimme connectivity means farmers can now access vital data of the Select 200 from the office while the machine is being operated in the field. This includes geofencing, harvested acreage, harvesting speed and some vital machine settings.

What sets the Grimme Select 200 apart from its predecessor, the GT 170, is the increased sieving capacity, sliding axle and re-designed MultiSep.

By changing the machine layout Grimme says it has managed to increase the main web length by nearly an extra metre. All main webs can be equipped with the patented, infinitely adjustable, and reversible VarioDrive, which combines the advantages of a mechanical and hydraulic drive. This innovative web drive solution significantly reduces the tractors power requirements and hourly fuel usage.

In a world where sustainable and efficient farming practices are of paramount importance, the Select 200’s capacity to optimise its output represents a significant leap forward.
