A hot and dry summer is presenting many beet growers and machine operators with particular challenges this year. Especially in Europe, high temperatures and low rainfall have led to difficult harvesting conditions in many regions. Not only on sandy and light soils is the harvest sometimes significantly lower – on heavier sites, too, the sugar beet is often smaller, while the soil is hard and dry.
These particular conditions also place high demands on the technology used for lifting and loading. In order to keep beet losses as low as possible while ensuring a gentle and efficient harvest, optimal machine setup and adjustment is crucial.
The ROPA Service Team has therefore compiled practical tips and tricks to help you fine-tune your machines specifically for this year's lifting and loading conditions. The focus here is on optimal adjustment to small beet, hard soil and dry harvest conditions.
Take a look at our practical tips and get the best out of your ROPA machine – for an efficient, low-loss and gentle beet harvest

The practical tips provided above show what to pay particular attention to when setting up your machine and how you can best prepare your ROPA machines for the current season and optimise them for the respective operating conditions. This is because, especially in demanding conditions, the right machine setup makes all the difference. A few targeted adjustments can have a positive effect on work quality, beet losses and machine performance.
