Grimme started 2021 with a bang by announcing its 160th anniversary celebrations. The milestones didn’t stop there – since then, Grimme has announced the sale of its 2,000th destoner and now the 1,000th Varitron potato harvester.
To celebrate the 1,000th Varitron sale, Grimme is building a limited run of special edition Varitrons. These limited-edition machines will be loaded with all sorts of valuable extras at a significantly reduced price.
With a focus on operator comfort and productivity, the list of extras includes the Premium Comfort Cab, which has optimised noise insulation plus a high-backed leather seat with air suspension, seat heating and active ventilation; Grimme’s Speedtronic system that automatically matches the speed of the main webs to driving speed and crop load – a key component of gentle crop handling; additional LED work lights that virtually turn night into day and Auto Pilot that automatically keeps the machine on track, which leaves the operator free to focus on the ideal settings for the conditions and the crop.
Plus, the limited-edition Varitron 470 models will come with even more features including black rims, a special drivers’ package, unique doormats, a mobile phone holder and LED beacon lights.
Grimme started making self- propelled potato harvesters back in 1969 and since then has developed multiple innovative harvesters to meet the needs of specialist growers. With over 50 years’ experience of self-propelled harvesting, it’s easy to see why so many growers trust Grimme machines to harvest their valuable crops.
