In combination with a tractor of 135HP the 6 row harvester will achieve work rates consistent with self propelled 6 row harvesters but with much lower running costs. In British Sugar’s harvester demonstrations and quality harvesting assessments the Victor has consistently achieved lower harvesting losses than other makes.The front mounted defoliator is mounted on the front of the tractor via either the standard Garford cat.2 front linkage as supplied with the harvester or using existing tractor front linkages. The defoliator is driven hydraulically via an internal circuit from the harvester. The rotor design effectively cuts tops from the beet and effortlessly spread them over the previous 6 rows.Topping is completed by Garfords Unique Skew Bar topper system. The Skew Bar topper is renowned for its economical topping. In official trials it has been proven that a saving of as much as 5% yield can be achieved.Other advantages include good operation in crops with weed infestations and low maintenance requirements.Unique spiroll cleaner for high quality harvestingEasily adaptable for all harvesting conditionsSuccessful lifting depends on very accurate steering and depth control. In the Garford Victor this is electronically controlled through an array of sensor guides across the front of the lifter. These guides sense on the crowns of every row and so give near perfect tracking of the topper and lifting wheels.The unique Garford 4 spoke lifting wheels with dial a spoke system allows quick adjustment to suit light/heavy soils or wet/dry conditions.From the lifting wheels the beet pass over a set of centering rollers and then up onto the main ‘spiroll’ cleaning rollers. The ‘spiroll’ cleaning rollers are arranged in contrarotating pairs and positively extract clods, stones and trash without the need to damage the roots. The rollers spring apart to let stones pass through.The high capacity discharge elevator can be disengaged when setting into row ends or for trailer changing on the move. The discharge elevator folds down for easy road transport.Garford Farm Machinery Ltd Frognall, Deeping St James, Peterborough PE6 8RP.
