Richard de Florennes Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 some more pictures of another scene captured last week, also posted now out of sequence (there are some more in-between sightings missing), as the farmer wants these pictures too: two Fendts harvesting sugar beets in the nowadays were rare two-stage system here in Germany: one quipped with KLEINE topper and Marout six-row lifter, the other one with Kleine/Bleinroth tanker loader ...

Richard de Florennes Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 also publiched out of sequence now, as Grimme wants to get hold of my best pictures of that particular day: first demonstration of the brand new Grimme "Rootster" two-phase sugarbeet harvesting system in our region, just a few miles away from home: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 for all interested in buying the real thing: I was informed by Grimme that the price tag is some 20.000 to 25.000 Euro for the front-mounted inline topper and some 80.000 Euro for the harvester. If you want hydraulic driven oval wheels like in the pictures (recommended for heavy ground conditions) instead of the ground driven oval wheels for lifting the beets add some 20.000 Euro.
