CTM Root Crop Systems products

CTM have designed their new generation ROCKSTAR2 de-stoner/ separators to offer greater flexibility, increased productivity and reduced running costs. The new web and star combination allows much greater use where soils vary across the field, whereas in the past it’s been a star machine or web.

Ridgestar is built to the same high standards and innovation as Rockstar and is designed to produce a wide, flat topped bed with wide ridge bottoms for the placement of stones and clods while leaving space for tractor wheelings. The bed shape ensures there is the optimum amount of soil available for the following Rockstar prior to planting. The Ridgestar features a robust, universal tool bar for all models with Cat 3 linkage and hydraulic side markers as standard. Ploughs include depth adjustable stabiliser fins and are available with shear-bolt protection or hydraulic auto reset for non-stop working.

Two years in development and field testing, ROPA’s first incursion into the potato and root vegetable sector is the ‘Keiler’ (wild boar). This potato harvester is offered with a single or 2 row lifting head that is easily switched to an onion lifting head for added flexibity. The Keiler 2 has an 8 ton holding tank. As you would expect from a German company, ROPA have paid special attention to hydraulically operated webs and elevators plus the computer controls with a range of pre-set programs to suit different soil conditions.
