Grimme’s subsidiary Asa-Lift displayed its first self-propelled carrot harvester painted in the Grimme colour scheme at this year’s show.

The SPS3-460BH harvester stopped punters in their tracks. This trike-like beast churns out an impressive 400hp from its 9.0l John Deere engine.

The share-lifting section is capable of lifting four rows of carrots at any one time.

A combination of a 6t hopper and an elevator ensures continuous quick flow and direct unloading (side filling) into a trailer on the go.

The SPS3-460BH is kept afloat thanks to the 80cm wide Claas Terra Trac system on the rear and a large 900/50 R42 wheel up front with the ability to turn up to 80°.
