GRIMME GL 860 potato planter is an 8-row trailed planter designed for high acreage performance, offering precise and even planting with high-speed efficiency. Its advanced planting element and adjustable settings ensure accurate spacing, while large covering discs improve pulling and pre-shape ridges without compacting soil.
It enables combined operations like under-root fertilisation, ridge shaping, and application of liquid treatments in one pass. With weight distributed across up to 8 wheels, soil compaction is reduced, and ISOBUS terminals (CCI 60, 800, 1200) provide enhanced control and operator comfort.
Highlights
- Direct bunker filling from the trailer: With the deep hopper it is possible to fill the machine directly from the trailer.
- Optimal growth: Barrel system for liquid tuber dressing and furrow treatment as well as a fertilizer spreader for under-root fertilisation.
- High degree of agility and manoeuvrability: Long drawbar allows close turning manoeuvres.
- 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.
- Minimising soil pressure: To distribute the weight of the potato planter with full hopper to as many wheels as possible, the machine can be equipped with a chassis of 8 wheels.Road transport: An end-tow kit is available for a safe transport on the road.
