AVR launches trailed Ceres 450 combined potato planter

AVR is launching the trailed Ceres 450 combined potato planter, a 4-row trailed potato planter with a hopper capacity of up to 3,500 kg (4x75 cm) or 4,000 kg (4x90 cm).

Now that the potato planting season is upon us, we have a newcomer in the field.

Potato machine manufacturer AVR is launching the trailed Ceres 450 combined potato planter.

The Ceres 450 is a 4-row trailed potato planter with a hopper capacity of up to 3,500 kg (4x75 cm) or 4,000 kg (4x90 cm).

The Ceres 450 in a nutshell

The Ceres 450 is a 4-row trailed potato planter with a hopper capacity of up to 3,500 kg (4x75 cm) or 4,000 kg (4x90 cm). Each individual potato row assembly can be disconnected manually (electrical also available as an option).

The total wheel movement from left to right is 30° (+15°, -15°). The clever mechanical design ensures that the rotation axis always remains vertical, and that the wheels constantly remain in contact with the ground.

Advantages of the trailed assembly

When planting potatoes, the main advantage of a trailed machine besides the weight distribution is the fact that the user can also combine the Ceres 450 with tilling equipment, such as the specially designed AVR GE-Force C ridge cultivator, the basic AVR GE-Force and with other brands.

Culti Control Option

The Culti Control is a useful option. It ensures that the GE-Force C always maintains a constant cultivation depth, enabling the user to avoid double passes. The potato planting depth is always set independently.

The anti-erosion option moves up and down to create small terraced levels between the earthed up ridges.

Protecting the soil during the potato planting process? The anti-erosion option moves up and down to create small terraced levels between the earthed up ridges. This terracing prevents the soil from being washed away during heavy rainfall.

The potato planting machine can also be fitted with a fertilizer, a powder, grain and/or spraying system to protect the crops.
