In the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, staying ahead requires constant innovation and adaptation. GRIMME Group, a powerhouse in the agricultural machinery sector, unveiled a slew of groundbreaking innovations at the recent VDMA Information Exchange event in Germany. These cutting-edge technologies promise to revolutionize the way farmers, agronomists, agricultural engineers, and farm owners approach their work.
ChangeSep: Revolutionizing Flexibility
One of the highlights of GRIMME’s showcase was the “ChangeSep,” a hydraulically interchangeable separator designed for modern GRIMME harvesters. This innovation addresses the growing need for flexibility in potato harvesters due to the expansion and specialization of farms. With the ability to switch between different separator types in mere minutes, farmers can adapt swiftly to varying harvesting needs. This level of customization enhances efficiency and productivity, ensuring optimal harvests regardless of the crop’s conditions.

SmartFold Windrower: Efficiency Redefined
Teaming up with SHAKTIMAN, GRIMME introduced the SGRW 200, a mounted windrower featuring the innovative SmartFold mechanism. This technology optimizes potato harvesting by reducing soil conveyance, improving efficiency, and minimizing harvest losses. The hydraulic folding system, SmartFold, not only enhances maneuverability but also allows for a forward shift in the machine’s center of gravity. This innovation reduces lifting power requirements, making the entire process more energy-efficient and sustainable.
CropAnalyser: Data-Driven Precision
In the era of precision agriculture, data is king. GRIMME’s CropAnalyser system takes data collection to the next level, enabling site-specific and variety-specific tuber size and yield recording during the potato harvesting process. By utilizing the laser light-section method, this system provides real-time insights into crop flow, tuber size variation, estimated yield, and trash percentage. These data-driven metrics empower farmers with valuable information for decision-making, enabling them to optimize cultivation practices and increase overall yields.
IBX ISOBUS Control Units: Versatile Operation Control
GRIMME introduced the IBX 200 and IBX 300 ISOBUS control units, offering versatile operation control for ISOBUS-compatible machines. These units serve as main or additional control, allowing simultaneous operation of multiple machines from different manufacturers. With programmable controls, status displays, and safety compliance, these units ensure seamless and safe operation, enhancing overall efficiency on the farm.
REXOR-Series Beet Harvesters: Operator Relief and Crop Protection
The REXOR-series self-propelled beet harvesters prioritize operator relief and crop protection. The Speedtronic-Cruise actively manages the vehicle drive system, adjusting harvesting speed autonomously based on driving mode and crop load. This intelligent system not only optimizes efficiency but also prevents component overloads, ensuring smooth and damage-free harvests.
EVO 260: The Future of Potato Harvesting
GRIMME’s EVO 260, a two-row potato harvester, represents the future of potato harvesting. With mechanical or fully hydraulic drive systems, this harvester offers gentle harvesting and on-field potato sorting. Its innovative features, including the “swing frame geometry” and TerraTronic depth control, minimize weight, prevent haulm build-up, and enhance separation efficiency. Additionally, its user-friendly interface and integration with telemetry options streamline operations and provide valuable insights for better decision-making.
PowerHarvest Concept: Maximizing Harvesting Capacities
The “PowerHarvest concept,” introduced in the 4-row TERRATRON by SPUDNIK in the USA, revolutionizes potato harvesting. By combining a curved conveyor with high-performance separators, this concept achieves harvesting capacities of over 500 t/h—an impressive 25% increase from previous capacities. The TERRATRON’s innovative design eliminates performance limitations, allowing farms to scale economically without additional infrastructure or personnel.
GRIMME Group’s innovations presented at the VDMA Information Exchange event signify a transformative phase in agriculture. These technologies not only enhance efficiency and productivity but also promote sustainability and data-driven decision-making. As farmers, agronomists, agricultural engineers, and farm owners embrace these innovations, the future of farming looks promising and bountiful.
