ROPA Taurus
Bei der Rübenernte ist es entscheidend, die begrenzten Erntetage optimal zu nutzen
When harvesting sugar beets, it is crucial to make the most of the limited days available for harvesting. One way to make the harvesting process more efficient is to overload the beets onto a separate transport vehicles. Thus, the harvester can work without interruptions, i.e. no time is wasted on unloading crops from the bunker into a pile. That enables higher area outputs per hour and better machine utilization per season.
Even long field lengths pose no problem when using an overloader.
However, the challenge often arises when it comes to providing the right transport vehicles. Trailers for sugar beets require tractors with high tractive power which are often questionable in terms of soil protection. Although tipper lorries are suitable for a wide range of purposes and are often available on farms anyway, they cannot create proper piles.
Mit dem Taurus lässt sich die Schlagkraft der Roder signifikant steigern
The ROPA Taurus is an excellent alternative to tractor-trailer transport combination.
With a bunker volume of approx. 50 m³, the R-Balance chassis, crab steering and 1050 Michelin tires, the Taurus is both powerful and soil-friendly.
The Taurus also has advantages when loading beets directly onto trucks, without prior storage in piles. The overloader acts as a buffer here and can temporarily store an entire truckload of beets until the next truck is available. There is no need to interrupt harvesting operations.
Technical features
Pile storage, bunker and unloading conveyor
The Taurus can also be used to create piles. Thanks to the side unloading conveyor, it can easily unload beets in piles like a Tiger or a Panther. It leaves neither traces nor compaction under a pile, which could later impair the loading process. The required dimensions of a pile can also be achieved without any problems.
Thanks to the sturdy conveyor chains and the sophisticated unloading conveyor, the bunker can be completely emptied in only 50 seconds.
Vorteile des Taurus auf einen Blick:
- Ca. 20% Leistungssteigerung: Durch das Überladen während der Fahrt kann der Roder ununterbrochen ernten und verliert keine Zeit beim Abbunkern an der Miete. Dadurch steigt die Flächenleistung pro Stunde und die Maschinenauslastung pro Saison
- Höchstes Bunkervolumen: Etwa 50 Kubikmeter Zuckerrüben kann der Taurus transportieren
- Hervorragende Lösung zur Ernte auf Hochertragsstandorten mit langen Schlägen, beim Einsatz von Rodeagregaten aus der RR-XL Baureihe
- Bodenschonung der Extraklasse: R-Balance Fahrwerk, Hundegang und 1050er Michelin Reifen machen den Taurus zur besten Lösung wenn es um den Rübentransport auf dem Acker geht
- Mietenanlage wie gewohnt: Durch das seitliche Entladeband ist die Mietenanlage, ohne Verdichtungen unter der Miete zu erzeugen, möglich. Die gewünschten Mietenmaße lassen sich problemlos einhalten
- Vollständige Bunkerentleerung in nur 50 Sekunden
- Klappbare Bunkergitter für noch mehr Übersicht und Komfort beim Überladen während der Fahrt
- Frontschild zur Einebnung von Unebenheiten am Acker
- Bedien- und Fahrkomfort eines Rübenroders für lange Erntetage

Front shield
The front shield can easily level out crop residues that accumulate during lorry loading due to the intensive cleaning of the unloading conveyor. The front shield can also be used to level out unevenness, such as soil bulges at the pile base, which often occur under difficult harvesting conditions. Thus, the Taurus creates the best conditions for later loading of sugar beets with the Maus.
The Taurus also fulfils the traditionally high demands for ROPA machines in terms of user-friendliness. The transporter is available e.g. with an automatically activated bunker camera. With its help, the operator can monitor the whole bunker filling process during overloading. As soon as the driver reverses, the rear view camera is displayed on the monitor. A further camera monitors the loading conveyor and is displayed on a separate screen.
