Very adaptable & easy to operate GRIMME UK took its Varitron 220 demonstrator to Brooksby Melton College in Leicestershire last month to harvest nine acres of maincrop potatoes, an exercise designed to give engineering students first-hand experience of the c mpany’s crop handling equi ment. Grimme sends all its apprentices to Brooksby and aims to work clos ly with them to provide opportunities they might not ot herwise enjoy. All colle ge students we re welcomed on both days to see how the machinery performed. ‘Grimme Academy students really gain from this experience as they are fully responsible for the preparation, planting and harvesting of the crop,’ said a company spokesman. ‘This year’s they were given the opportu- nity to drive one of our flagship har- vesters. Guided by the team from Grimme UK and their college tutors, students were shown how to operate the machine correctly, including adjustment of topper height, digging depth, web agitation, haulm separa- tion and clod removal.’ Back in the yard the crop was graded using a Grimme R H24-60 Co mbi Unit and loaded in to bulkers using an SL145 store loader. Experts were on hand over the two days to demonstrate the different kinds of tuber damage tha t can occur during harvest and handling, offering advice on how to avoid it. 18   POTATO REVIEW NOVEMBER 2016 Varitron demo nstrator workin g at Brooksby Melton College.
