General Description

Function

4.1

Function

The machine is an attached device designed for potato haulm topping. The chopped

potato haulm is deposited at the bottom of the ridge between the rows with the help of

the guide plates.
Depending on the machine configuration, it can work on 4 potato ridges with a row

spacing of 75 cm, 80 cm, 85 cm or 90 cm.
The machine is driven via the tractor's PTO shaft. Please note, that the maximum per-

missible PTO shaft speed of the machine is 540 rpm, 750 rpm or 1,000 rpm depending

on the configuration.
The machine can be attached to the front and rear of the tractor without additional

equipment. It is important to ensure that the machine is guided horizontally by the trac-

tor during operation.
The machine is optionally equipped with road lighting for a crosswise driving device

or with an end tow kit with road lighting to meet country-specific requirements for road

transport.
