The GL 860 Compacta unites all the advantages of a trailed 8-row potato planter with a compact potato planter. Highest acreage performance combined with a fast change of fields make the machine to the most efficient potato planter in the market. The special folding system for road transport makes it possible. A comprehensive list of features makes the machine particularly attractive for agricultural contractors and individual customers in small and large structured cultivation regions.
The GRIMME professional planting element is the right choice for a very precise and even planting distance. Different setting options of the machine together with good calibrated seed enable a high planting speed. The ISOBUS operator terminals CCI 60, CCI 800 or CCI 1200 offer a high level of operating comfort and provides relief for the driver.
Highlights
- 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.
- Combined plant protection: GRIMME tank system TS 820, authorized for liquid chemicals to be applied onto the seed potatoes and/or into the furrow.
- Fast movement between fields: To enable a fast transfer from field to field, the machine with a row width of 75 cm can be folded to a width of 3,29 m.
- Improved capillarity: Ridge pressure rollers improve capillarity on light soils by slightly soil recompaction of the ridge crown.
- Sub-area specific planting: When using application cards when planting potatoes, the planting distances in cm can be set variably over the entire width of the machine.
