References Keiler 2
All ROPA potato harvesters impress with a variety of practical unique selling points. Particular highlights are the fully hydraulic drive with its own load-sensing hydraulics, telescopic axle, and the automatically controlled drive axle, as well as the quiet running and increased potato protection.
Here are some impressions from deployments of ROPA Keiler potato harvesters at various customers in Germany and around the world.

Report about the ROPA Keiler 2 from the KWS Klostergut Wiebrechtshausen
Steffen Köhler reports about his experiences with the ROPA Keiler 2 potato harvester in the third harvest on the Klostergut of the KWS in Wilbrechtshausen.
Even during his studies of agricultural science, he worked as a trainee at the Klostergut and started working there full-time as a farmer after completing his studies.
The ROPA Keiler 2 was purchased in 2018 and put into operation. With its individually adjustable cleaning units thanks to the completely hydraulic drive, the Keiler 2 is especially gentle on the potatoes, something on which this experimental farm places particular value.

Keiler 2 - Olligs family, Bedburg-Kirchherten, North Rhine Westphalia
A real looker - Keiler 2 and John Deer 6175R with a special look and tires
The Olligs family farms 250 hectares in the Rhineland (Bedburg-Kirchherten). The Olligs family's farm has a long tradition and is now being farmed by the third generation.
Potatoes are always grown in Kirchherten since the soil near Jülich is very fertile.
Ground points between 80 and 95, a loess soil depth between 5 and 10 meters and 750 - 900 mm of rain produce high-quality potatoes, but other crops also flourish in the profitable areas around Jülich.
Two Keiler 2s - Großmann‘s Feldfrüchte in Vierkirchen-Pasenbach, Bavaria
One of the largest organic farms in Bavaria, Großmann‘s Feldfrüchte, relies on ROPA
The potato harvest is in full swing at the two-generation operation of Peter Großmann-Neuhäusler. This is already routine for the well-rehearsed team – but new this season are two ROPA Keilers, which harvest the organic potatoes. The operation is completely mechanized for the planting, care, and harvest of the fields and, thanks to new investments, offers storage capacities for approx. 8,000 t of potatoes. In total, between 40 and 60 seasonal workers are employed at peak times for harvest, care, and storage work.

KEILER 2 - KARL GRÖSCHL AUS SARCHING, BAYERN
Karottenernte im März in Bayern
Unser Kunde Karl Gröschl aus Sarching bei Regensburg rodet seit Anfang März 2023 Karotten mit seinem ROPA Keiler 2.
Im Dezember letzten Jahres wurden die Karotten mit Vlies abgedeckt um sie vor Frostschäden zu schützen: Der ROPA Keiler 2, mit dem im Herbst z.B. Chipskartoffeln für Crunchips gerodet werden, wurde mit speziellen Scharen, Mittelscheibensech und Rädern zur Tiefenführung und einem anderen Igelband vom Kunden umgebaut. Die Qualität der Karotten ist ausgezeichnet. Diese werden in der betriebseigenen Packanlage sortiert, gewaschen und in verschiedene Gebindegrößen abgepackt.
