Understanding functions, optimising settings and protecting the potato
With the new explanatory video for the ROPA Keiler 2 RK22, ROPA offers its customers practical, hands-on support for everyday use during harvest. All operating functions of the two-row complete potato harvester are explained clearly, step by step, and demonstrated directly on the machine.
The aim is to provide drivers, farm managers and service teams with the best possible support in understanding the extensive functions of the Keiler 2 RK22 with confidence, using them efficiently and adapting them optimally to the respective operating conditions.
Step by step through the operating functions
The explanatory video guides viewers clearly through the key areas of the machine. From the basic settings and terminal operation through to the individual working functions of the harvester, it illustrates which setting has which effect on the harvesting process.
Particularly helpful is the direct connection shown between operator input and machine response: the video not only explains which switch or function is activated, but also demonstrates what subsequently happens on the harvester. This makes it easier to understand functions, recognise interrelationships and internalise settings more quickly in practical use.
Practical tips from the field
In addition to explaining individual functions, the video contains a wealth of practical guidance. Useful tips and tricks show how the Keiler 2 RK22 can be adapted to different requirements — whether it concerns the lifting pickup, cleaning intensity, picking table or bunker functions. Each chapter helps operators to set the machine precisely and optimise harvesting quality. This enables drivers to respond more quickly, make adjustments with confidence and unlock the machine's full potential.
Greater confidence and efficiency for the end user
In this way, ROPA makes complex technology even more accessible, supporting operators in running the machine safely, setting it up optimally and making the best possible use of the Keiler 2 RK22's capabilities in daily operation. Newer drivers can familiarise themselves with the machine more quickly, experienced operators have a practical reference resource to hand, and businesses benefit from a consistent knowledge base across the team.
The clear visual presentation helps operating procedures stay in the memory more effectively. The chapter structure within the video allows users to navigate directly to the relevant section — there is no need to search at length, as the desired function or settings explanation is just a few clicks away. This is particularly valuable when drivers change frequently, when seasonal staff are employed, or when less commonly used functions need to be recalled.
Our sincere thanks to Lohnunternehmen Grimm
Special thanks go to Stefan Grimm's agricultural contracting business in Goch for providing the new ROPA Keiler 2 RK22 with tractor and for their support during filming.
A working farm operation was deliberately chosen — one that relies on the very latest technology and already has a second Keiler 2 RK22 in active use. We would also like to thank driver Niklas for making his impressively presented tractor available for the shoot.
