Farm Machine of the year 2024: GRIMME EVO 290 with ChangeSep

20 national and international trade journalists have voted: the "Farm Machine of the year 2024" in the field of root crop technology is the GRIMME EVO 290 with "ChangeSep".

The trailed two row EVO 290 bunker harvester is the logical evolution of the well proven SE-principle. This principle combines soil-sieving, crop-conveying and haulm separation in one single operation. Impressive performance meets profitable efficiency. The "ChangeSep" hydraulically interchangeable separator enables a convenient change of the second separator on machines such as the EVO 290, which are equipped with two separators. Within less than 2 minutes, the changeover between finger web ("ClodSep") and deflection rollers ("EasySep") can be carried out hydraulically from the cabin.

This makes it quick and easy to adapt to changing soil and operating conditions as well as different harvesting methods (direct, split or enriched). This saves an enormous amount of (conversion) time and creates the conditions for optimising the area output without sacrificing gentle treatment of the tubers.

The "ChangeSep" alternating separator combines two existing systems in one machine. The "ChangeSep" was also awarded a silver medal by the DLG.

The joy is immense: Alexander Bohnsack (editor-in-chief of AGRARTECHNIK) and presenter Susanne Schöne hand over the prestigious award to (from left) Christoph, Christine and Philipp Grimme as well as Michael Hassig, Maximilian Gerken, Jürgen Feld, Sebastian Talg and Cord-Hinrich Fürstenau.
