The Combi 2 topper is capable of mulching beet tops between the rows for an extremely even spread and easy incorporation, but is still able to spread shredded material to the right hand side if required. Flail speeds of up to 1200rpm ensure tops are thoroughly pulverised. Scalper height and angle is adjustable from the cab. The topper conveniently folds for road transport, saving time and meaning that there’s no need to remove the harvesting unit and place it on an additional trailer.

The lifter is configured in three sections of three-rows with each element able to move independently to follow ground contours and with some sideways movement to accommodate drill joins when required. Three front turbines collect the beet with a larger central turbine for increased cleaning and optimal beet flow. Hydraulic row-width adjustment can be controlled from the cab. The lifter quickly and conveniently folds into three sections for road transport, saving time and meaning that there’s no need to remove the harvesting unit and place it on an additional trailer.

The famous Vervaet lifting unit employs rotating walking shares which move independently, with each share making a circular motion in the ground so that one of each pair of shares is in the ground at any one time. Speed is adjustable from the cab, and at 700rpm each share makes 23 lifting movements per second. Each lifting element is self-seeking to ensure very gentle and precise lifting.

Lifting depth is extremely accurately controlled by hydraulically driven steel depth wheels fitted as standard. Rubber paddles running between the shares ensure that no beet roll forward when harvesting in dry conditions.  Hydraulic row-width adjustment is also standard equipment.

The Beet Eater 925 Evo is powered by a 15.6-litre Mercedes-Benz Tier 4F engine which produces 623hp. This is mounted crossways at the rear, together with the hydraulic pumps, to give the best possible weight distribution and allow easy access for servicing. Running at just 12-1400rpm and combined with a load sensing hydraulic system it gives extremely frugal fuel consumption for cost-effective lifting.

Another unique 925 feature - to minimise soil damage the harvester is fitted with four 800/70 R38 low-ground pressure tyres at the front and a completely unique extending axle allows the first pair to be set out wider, whilst two 900/60 R32 tyres on a narrow rear axle run between these front wheels so that the machine’s weight is spread evenly across the full working width. In this way the harvested land is only run on once – the ultimate in low-ground pressure lifting with soil compaction kept to an absolute minimum. The field surface is left level even when working in extreme conditions, easing following cultivations. When using automatic steering the four front wheels are controlled by share sensors, and the rear wheels controlled by sensors on the topper, so that the harvester is always perfectly inline with the rows.
