GRIMME GL 420 potato planter is a mounted 4-row planter designed for versatility and precision. Its professional planting element ensures even spacing, while adjustable settings and calibrated seed enable high-speed planting. Large covering discs improve pulling, pre-shape ridges, and prevent soil compaction.
It combines multiple operations in one pass, including soil cultivation, fertiliser and treatment application, tuber placement, ridge building, and erosion control. Optional features like Clever Planting, Section Control, and site-specific farming enhance efficiency and precision.
Highlights
- Combining work steps: The potato planter GL 420 can be equipped with the LEMKEN Zirkon 12 rotary cultivator for soil cultivation and planting in a single operation step.
- Ridge shaping on light soils: For an improved water absorption on light soils, cage rollers can be used in combination with spring-loaded ridging bodies.
- Ideally suited for chitted seed: For all those who want to maintain the lead of pre-sprouted tubers, GRIMME offers a moving floor unit. The long floor offers you more time to gently pour following tubers onto the supply belts.
- The ideal combination: Convenient especially for short headlands and smaller acreage. A compact tractor implement combination of potato planter GL 420 and rotary tiller GR 300 is available for these requirements.
- Potato cultivation with improved protection against erosion: TerraProtect creates small transverse ridges, so-called dykes, between the potato ridges. The dykes reduce the risk of erosion and at the same time promote water absorption.
- Combined plant protection: GRIMME tank system TS 820, authorized for liquid chemicals to be applied onto the seed potatoes and/or into the furrow.
