Description
Harvey.one is a self-driving harvester for demanding root crops follows. It follows autonomously potato hills and uses a long proven intake design from Grimme to harvest root crops. The gentle sieving belts transport the yield onto a sorting table where manually picking takes place in an ergonomic environment.
Drive train type
A hydraulic supply from a single load sensing hydraulic pump is distributed to all the installed actuators via a hydraulic manifold. The manifold consists of 7 channels, 2 x 70 l/min, 4 x 10 l/min and 1 x 40 l / min. Bi-directional proportional valves are provided on all channels.
Characteristics
