The planting machines GL 410 and GL 420 adapt the approved Grimme planting elements, which ensures the precise placement of the tuber. Due to the short, compact design, both machines can be mounted on the tractor and, depending on their equipment, are suitable for both farmers and contractors.GL MODELSClassic planting but with a system2Hydraulic tipping bunkerflat 2,000 kg (6)Fixed bunker 1,200 kg (4)Hydraulic tipping bunker deep 1,700 kg (5)Fixed bunker 1,000 kg (1)Hydraulic tipping bunker deep 1,200 kg (2)BUNKER MODELS465GL 410GL 4201 2Hydraulic tipping bunker flat 1,200 kg (3)33Core competence during separation: With the aid of a simple adjustment screw (A), the mechanical agitator (B) or optionally the electrical intensive agitator (C) can be set to the potato characteristics. This ensures a reliable filling of the pick up chamber.Innovative, accurate and easy to operate: the Grimme planting elementSmall details that make a huge difference: The large soft rubber belt pulley (1) at the top guarantees a secure entrainment and a safe transfer, even for long potatoes. In addition, it ensures secure actuation and accurate belt guidance. Two reinforced guide ribs (2) behind the belt achieve a reliable deflection at the top belt pulley (even for large potatoes). The smaller bottom belt pulley (4) guarantees a fast opening and thus an accurate placement (3).5 Provides a good view: The large inspection window at the machine's cup mechanism6 Custom-made conveying: The cup belt safely picks up the tubers from the pick up chamber and plants them gently in the soil.7 A clean matter: Inserted grills (Option) – instead of a VA cover – prevent dirt from accumulating in front of and inside the cup.8 Convenient and easy: The cup belt with quick clamping device can be tensioned or slackened without tools in the blink of an eye.9 Well shaken is half planted: The mechanical agitator behind the cup belt reduces double allocation of the planting cups.10 Whether for small, large, thick, oversized, cut or chitted tubers: With the exchangeable inserts and planting cups it is possible to plant all types of potatoes.THE ORIGINAL1 23168971045A B C4FEATURES4Still more reasons to decide for the originalIn order to create driving lanes or on wedge-shaped run outs, the planting elements can be switched off individually from the tractor: Either with mechanical (7) or even more conveniently with electric rams (8).Small? Large? Oversized? Cut? Chitted? Which tubers you decide to use – with the differently sized exchangeable Grimme inserts and planting cups, planting the most different types of potatoes is no problem at all. With their round (narrow) edges, they pick up the potatoes from the bunker in a particularly gentle manner.What doesn’t fit is made to fit: with the adjustable drop pipe inserts. Can be set to narrow for small or to very wide for large potatoes.Brilliantly equipped: For unloading, the pick up chamber floor or the grills (Option) can be opened wide by means of a handle (5).Permanently sturdy: The planting elements are connected by means of pto shafts (6). Ideally equipped: The quick clamping device (3) for convenient slackening, changing and cleaning the cup beltSimply convenient: The easily accessible chain case (4) and the convenient planting distance adjustment in 27 steps – even special distances are easy to set.Everything under control: You have a good view of the cup mechanism (1) at all times.The large funnel-shaped inlet (2) enables the safe placement of long, large potatoes.1 23 45 67 85FURROW OPENEROption: The furrow opener (3) which is pulled in the parallelogram creates a very accurate furrow thanks to its narrow, steep design and thus prevents the tubers from rolling away to the side.Furrow opener for granular and liquid chemical application (Option) (4)Series equipment proven in thousands of applications: The height adjustable, fixed furrow opener (1) – a round steel point arranged centrally at the tip draws a furrow for tuber placement.Option: The furrow opener in the parallelogram (2) enables an improved depth control due to uneven terrain surface.Use our accessory rangewith front fertiliser box and drum system (5)GL 410: Fixtures, Fittings and Accessories51 23 46RIDGE CONSTRUCTIONAnother possibility is the ridge construction with the aid of covering bodies (6) behind the covering discs.The pulled furrow opener (1) encloses the planting element and is guided via the feeler wheel. Behind the wheels (2), ridge construction is carried out by 460 mm covering discs (3), followed by the ridge shaping board (4) to create the final shape.Optionally, ridge construction can also be created with a lattice roller (5), which promotes the exchange of oxygen and moisture in the ridge by creating a crumbed structure.GL 410: the ultimate finish4 3 2 1567FURROW OPENEROn the GL 420, the furrow opener in the parallelogram (1) is part of the series equipment.Furrow opener for granular and liquid chemical application (Option) (2) GL 420: Fixtures, Fittings and Accessories1452316 72Depth guidance at your discretion: Parallelogram guidance of all four furrow openers jointly via two feeler wheels (3)Alternatively: Parallelogram guidance of respectively two furrow openers (4) via a feeler wheel for improved guidance in cropped terrain or under stony conditions3 48A tactile sensor (1) controls the raising and lowering of the tine bar (3) and the ridge shaping board (4) via hydraulic cylinders (2).The furrow opener (6) is in each case moved along in the same direction via a mechanical toggle joint (5). Thus, even under changing conditions, a constant coverage of the tubers (7) is always ensured.In this way, your potatoes emerge even more uniformlyRIDGE CONSTRUCTIONThe covering discs directly behind the furrow openers already construct the ridge almost completely. The ridge shaping board thus does not have to fetch additional earth.The small, but subtle difference: The pulled furrow opener (1) encloses the planting element and is guided via the feeler wheel. Ridge construction takes place already in front of the wheels (3) by the 510 mm large covering discs (2). Final ridge construction is carried out here with a ridge shaping board (4).Optionally, ridge construction with the GL 420 can also be carried out with a lattice roller (5).GL 420: Fixtures, Fittings and Accessories4 3 2 1GL 420: the ultimate finish59Use the head start offered by chitted potatoes – with the moving floor moduleEARLY POTATOESMoving floor module with convenient footprint for an ergonomic filling of the moving floorMoving floor module instead of tipping bunker: For all who want to take advantage of the head start offered by chitting, Grimme offers a long moving floor as an option. The long floor provides you with more time to pour subsequent tubers carefully onto the presentation belts.10Combined plant protection: The GL 420 can optionally be equipped with a certified and approved granular applicator. The dosing adjustment is simply carried out with hand wheels on the storage container. With the aid of the electric coupling, the fertiliser boxes are conveniently operated from the tractor. The granulate is reliably placed in the vicinity of the tuber.Variety that leaves nothing to be desiredADDITIONAL EQUIPMENTDriver relief on long working days: A sensor in front of the planting element detects the level of potatoes in the pick up chamber. Briefly raising and lowering the bunker again ensures an optimum and gentle filling of the pick up chamber (Option).11Cleverly combined: GR 300 in front attachment – GL 420 at the rearCOMBINED RIDGE CONSTRUCTIONCombination for finished ridge layoutSoil cultivation in front and rear attachment1Placing of the potato (furrow opener, large covering discs) 2Finished ridge construction(ridge construction, lattice roller)31 2 3Ground guide plates are built into the Rota Tiller GR 300. With these, the earth in front of the wheels is cleared so that the tractor does not pass over the later growth area of the tuber.12The machine combination of front and rear attachment facilitates an ideal exploitation of the available attachment places on the tractor. The planting machine is mounted closely behind the tractor via a very short bracket system.COMBINED RIDGE CONSTRUCTIONGL 420 in combination with the Grimme Rota Tiller GR 300 in rear attachment. The depth guidance of the GR 300 is easy to adjust via a hole pattern in eight levels. Both attachment versions for soil cultivation devices ensure that the potato planting depth can be adjusted independently of the cultivation depth.Several types of cultivation, one goal – variable depth guidance of the soil cultivation equipment: The mounting bracket of the planting machine carries the device for soil cultivation, here a Lemken Zirkon 10. The depth of this device can be hydraulically adjusted by 180 mm.The combination in rear attachment13GL 420 Exacta: the new combination planting machineSHORT AND COMPACTAs a standard, the Exacta is equipped with hydraulic drive, control terminal GBT 850 and miss indicator.Short, mounted and with the approved arrangement of our heavy duty planting element – that is the Grimme GL 420 Exacta.14NEWFEATURESDepth guidance of the furrow openers is carried out via a mechanical link between the ridging hiller and the pulled furrow openers in the parallelogram.Sensors ensure the correct filling of the pick up chamber and control the presentation belts.The planting elements are controlled via a hydraulic drive (infinitely variable planting distance).Comprehensive from the word go15COMBINED RIDGE CONSTRUCTIONPlanting technology in a new dimension1257346With its distinctive design, the machine exhibits its strengths especially where the terrain is narrow, sloping or hilly.161 Carrying roller between the tractor wheels2 Grimme GR 300 for soil cultivation3 Track indicator4 Bunker for 1.6 t or 2 t (Option)5 Approved Grimme planting elements6 Controlled feed belts for optimum tuber feed7 Ridge shaping board1324 The quantity in the element (3) is very accurately controlled via sensors.
