Visitors to Grimme’s German Technica were treated to the first showing of a new two-row potato planter and a sneak preview of the company’s very first trailer last week.
Held in the year when there is no Agritechnica, the event was held at Grimme HQ at Damme, where a highlight was the GB215, a new mounted two-row belt planter, which the company plans to bring to Lamma in January.
Superseding the GL 42K, not only does it look different on the outside, but the interior features a new design of steering mechanism using a steered axle.
