The Grimme VERITRON 470 is a self-propelled 4-row potato harvester powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 470 LA engine delivering up to 340 kW (460 HP). Its GentleFlow concept carries the full crop width through the main web channel before gently dividing at the rear axle, minimising tuber damage. A 7-tonne NonstopBunker, hydrostatic single-wheel drive, and a premium comfort cab with ErgoDrive controls and SmartView camera system make the VERITRON 470 a flagship machine for high-output potato harvesting operations.
