ROPA Keiler 2L - innovation at PotatoEurope

Sittelsdorf / Bockerode / Viersen. At Potato Europe in Bockerode, ROPA presented the new Keiler 2L with overloading bunker in practical application for the first time. The ROPA Keiler 2L is a 2-row trailed potato harvester with a 5.5 t overloading bunker. As well as new details, the Keiler 2L has just like the well-proven Keiler 2 a fully hydraulic drive for optimal adjustment for cleaning. The Keiler 2L operates independently of the PTO speed and thus maintains all cleaning units in the optimal speed range. The result is reduced engine rotational speed of the tractor for low vibration and reduced noise during harvesting as well as low fuel consumption. In addition to this innovation, the ROPA single-row trailing potato harvester Keiler 1 and the two-row Keiler 2 were in use.
