Sugar beet harvest technology
Abstract:
The offer of harvesting machines has been extended. Totally three leading manufacturers produce 2- and 3-axle tankers with 6-,8- and 9-row headers with either topping or defoliation device. The product range of all these companies includes now cleaner loaders. However the number of producing manufacturers for harvesting equipment has been again reduced by taking possessions. This industrial structural adaption is the cause for or a consequence of the trend in Europe towards tanker type self-propelled harvesting. The quality of harvesting by these machines is characterized by mass losses of 3.9% and soil tare of 9.8% related to a travel speed of 6 km/h. 8% of the beets were harvested with good topping or defoliation qual-ity.
