The Belgian manufacturer will unveil the mounted variant of its Structural 30 potato planter at SIMA next week.
Flagged up as the world’s first mounted three-row potato belt planter, the Structural 30, which plants three rows in a bed as standard, comes little more than a year after the launch of the trailed variant late 2017.
Claimed to be as easy to use as the trailed machine and able to plant precisely at speeds of up to 12km/hr, the mounted model will provide increased manoeuvrability when turning on tight headlands.
Fitted with an automatic depth control sensor, hopper capacity is 1.5t, the empty weight of the machine is 2.6t and the company recommends coupling it to a 175hp tractor (minimum) with a hydraulic flow rate of 50lit/min.
