Self-propelled beet harvesting machine - has two-part articulated chassis with bucket elevator on front and cleaning sieve on rear

摘要

The machine has a chassis with a sieve supplied by the lifting mechanism, an earth discharge conveyor underneath the sieve, and a slewing and derricking boom for a conveyor loading the clean beet into a lorry or trailer. The chassis is in two parts hinging together on a vertical axis and each supported by an axle. The front part has a bucket elevator forming the lifting mechanism, while the rear one has the sieve and the discharge conveyors. the bucket elevator is so arranged that in the working position the tubers fall onto the sieve near the hinge axis.
