The Grimme VARITRON 470 is a self-propelled 4-row potato harvester with up to 460 HP, a 7-tonne NonstopBunker, and Grimme’s GentleFlow concept that carries the full crop width through the machine before gently dividing at the rear axle to minimize tuber damage. Hydrostatic single-wheel drive, a premium comfort cab with ErgoDrive controls, and the SmartView camera system round out a flagship machine built for high-output potato operations.
