Harvesting & Technology
Learn to drive the Tiger with Ole - explanatory video for the ROPA Tiger 6
In this video, Ole Thielmann gives you some insight into the layout and operation of the terminal. This tool was created since we can no longer conduct some trainings in the usual manner due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
ROPA Panther 2 - technology, terminal & details
In accordance with the ROPA design philosophy, the ROPA Panther 2 and Tiger 6 series are largely identical with regard to the harvester, engine compartment and cabin. Together with Werner Hofbauer, we will take a look under the hood of the ROPA Panther 2 and examine some of the many new details.
RR lifting unit
Weight-optimized RR lifter with single-row adjustment
The RR lifting unit is equipped with counter-rotating oscillating shares, seven lifting rollers, completely maintenance-free hydraulic stone protection and single-row adjustment of the lifting depth. The large 33-inch depth-control wheels combined with the intelligent three-point suspension guarantee accurate depth control of the lifter. Maintenance costs are minimized with adjustable taper roller bearings in transmissions and the oscillating share drive. The convenient maintenance position lifts the defoliator and the lifting group 90 degrees for simple inspection and service of defoliator knives, scalper knife and lifting shares. Comfortable and practical!
Details
Convenient maintenance position
The defoliator can be lifted hydraulically 90° above the lifting unit for service and installation. It is lifted from the cabin by pressing a button without requiring the driver to leave the cabin, or from the ground by push button without needing to insert pins.
Start engine
The engine can be started by pressing a button on the lifting unit to set the desired maintenance position.
PR lifting unit
Non-jamming PR lifting unit with hydraulic stone protection
The PR2h lifting unit is equipped with counter-rotating oscillating shares and completely maintenance-free hydraulic stone protection.
The large 900 mm depth-control wheels combined with the intelligent three-point suspension guarantee accurate depth control of the lifter. Minimum maintenance costs are required thanks to adjustable taper roller bearing in drives and oscillating share drive.
Details
Convenient maintenance position
The robust PR lifting unit is designed for the toughest conditions. The defoliator can be lifted hydraulically 90° above the lifting unit for service and installation.It is lifted from the cabin by pressing a button without requiring the driver to leave the cabin, or from the ground by push button without needing to insert pins.
Hydraulic shaking share drive, with long-life adjustable taper roller bearings and very long drawbars.
Defoliator unit
PAS/RAS PAS leaf ejection
ROPA all-round defoliator with leaf ejection
The beet leaves are shredded and transported by a leaf scroll to the leaf plate, which spreads them over the harvested area. A press of the button in the cabin switches the machine. An optional leaf collection conveyor can be installed for harvesting beet leaves (biogas or dairy).
PAS/RAS integral leaf-layer
ROPA all-round defoliator with integrated leaf storage
The beet leaves are shredded and deposited between the rows. A press of the button in the cabin switches the machine.
PIS/RIS - ROPA integral defoliator
ROPA integral defoliator - standard model for normal harvesting conditions
Leaves from the beet crowns are mulched with robust defoliator knives and spread between the rows. This process spreads the beet leaves with all their nutrients evenly over the soil, forming the optimal basis for the subsequent cultivation for quick conversion of the green waste to humus.
Micro-Topper
The comb of the Micro-Topper follows each beet head, adjusting the trimming gap to the size of the head, so that the beet is cut not too much and returns maximum yield. Nothing is lost, no sugar beet is trimmed too much, and the quality is better than ever. The intensity of the cut can be easily adjusted from the cabin. You may choose between topping and "shaving off" leaves only (micro-topping).
Maximum revenue with no additional effort
Rubber-defoliator
The two fully hydraulically driven cleaning rotors can be independently adjusted in rotation speed and height – unique! Various settings can be stored and accessed on the joystick using a memory function. Each rotor shaft can be adjusted at the height independently from the other. As a result, the operator can react quickly and effectively to different requirements due to changing beet crops. Various settings can be stored and accessed on the joystick using a memory function.

Cleaning
Gentle, efficient and individually adjustable
The hydraulically tensioned sieve conveyor efficiently transports the beets to the first strainer wheel. The portal axis enable maximum throughput without slowing the beet flow or damaging the beets. The driver can steplessly adjust the sieve conveyor speed and reverse it if necessary from the cabin. The automatic beet flow monitor reliably prevents the beets from overflowing the machine. Three strainer wheels with forged tines and offset carrier tines clean the beets extremely efficiently and then transport them to the next stage.
Bunker
43 m³ large beet bunker
The automatic bunker filling allows optimum traction under all harvest conditions by excellent weight distribution.
Yield indicator using ultrasound sensors
Two ultrasound sensors measure the yield, total the bunker charges, and save the result in the order database.
Unloading conveyor
Extra-long unloading conveyor – faster bunker unloading
The new extremely long unloading conveyor is located between the two rear axles and can be raised further due to higher tires. A great advantage when overloading on driving alongside trailers, as it is performed shallower. The unloading conveyor is 3-way foldable and 2000 mm wide for even simpler application with 10-meter-wide piles or easy loading on trailers. The high-performance bunker-emptying mechanism provides faster truck loading on the move. Gentle polyurethane fingers guarantee high feeding capacity with short unloading times of less than 50 sec. with a full beet bunker holding more than 43 m³. The automatic bunker filling allows optimum traction under all harvest conditions by excellent weight distribution. Two ultrasound sensors measure the load by totaling the bunker loads and save it in the impact database.
