“SmartFold”: The patent-pending folding mechanism for carried windrowers At Agritechnica,
SHAKTIMAN-GRIMME is presenting the new supported row layer SGRW 200.
Exciting news in agriculture innovation! The Windrower SmartFold, a collaborative effort between Shaktiman and GRIMME, has clinched the Silver Medal Innovation Award at AGRITECHNICA 2023.
In a world where small-scale potato farming is on the rise, the demand for both increased productivity and enhanced work quality during harvesting has never been more critical. The Windrower SmartFold has stepped up to meet this challenge with its groundbreaking features:
✅ Precision Depth Control – Thanks to a clever design, it offers coulter depth control via ridge drums, without burdening smaller tractors with excessive lifting power requirements.
✅ Tuber-Friendly Crop Flow – It ensures a gentle and tuber-friendly crop flow through the swather, minimizing damage during harvesting.
✅ Reduced Hidden Potato Losses – Exposing tubers on the soil and compacting it with a roller simplifies the harvester’s work and significantly reduces the common problem of hidden potato losses.
This innovative windrower is a game-changer, not only increasing work quality and area output but also contributing to food security in emerging and developing countries.
Out of 251 remarkable submissions, the Windrower SmartFold stood out, winning a well-deserved Silver Medal. A testament to its forward-thinking approach in the agricultural industry!
