Sugar Beet Harvester
A sugar beet harvester is a self-propelled machine that is used for harvesting only sugar beets. A typical machine will contain 6-row harvesting units but the number of rows can vary from 1-6. The sugar beet harvester uses a shear lifter system to lift beets from the earth and in good conditions, it is capable of harvesting 20-24 acres of sugar beet per day. The machine is hydraulic and includes row finders and grab roll screens which work to remove dirt clods and rocks. Common brands for sugar beet harvesters include Alloway, Amity, Art’s way, and Parma Company.
