Potato Planting & Ridging | FENDT 728 Gen7 & 313 | Grimme GL 420 & Rotary Hiller | Vrolijk Landbouw
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I followed arable farm Vrolijk Landbouw of Fijnaart, in the Netherlands, while they are planting potatoes with there brandnew Fendt 728 Gen7 vario and 4-row Grimme GL420 planter. After the potatoes are planted they are rigged using a Grimme 4-row rotary hiller pulled by a Fendt 313 vario. The rotary hiller is equipped with Grimme’s TerraProtect system witch generates small traverse-dams against soil erosion.
Because the heavy soil is still a little wet below, it is not possible to create the ridges in one pass with the planter.
Thanks for watching!

Notice the 5 small V tines popping up and down behind the ridger. That's to create small potholes in the valleys so heavy rain and irrigation ponds in the holes and soaks into the soil rather than running along the valleys causing erosion.

Thank, I was wondering what it does. Do you know why they go over the rows to make them smooth?

@@martinkrpan123 My guess is thinner soil structure, dries out easier when raining so the potatoes can break through the soil easier when its dried out
Love the camera work under the hood.
Wow so cool 😎
Damn Tractorspotter is back strong
Good job guys
Machinery for agriculture is too modern. I really like your agriculture.
Oooh! Pommes frites on the hoof!
Glad your making videos again!

Very interesting! What is the reason for the ridger?
😮❤❤
God job. 13 hectare
Aren't the potatoes damaged when their already in the ground and the rotary hiller on the fendt 313 goes over them?

I’m pretty sure the potatoes are in the brim and not under the valley. The tractors tires are aligned with the valley so there’s no significant soil compaction
👍👍😎❤️
What the ridging is for?

Why are farmers making seed potatoes sown furrows shaped like kitkats?

More surface area to attract heat and water management

@@GRamerDim Thanks. I was only thinking about drainage to keep the potatoes from rotting. The surface area and heat issues seem to make a lot of sense.

@@OsVf770 Its also to create a big volume of soil for the new potatoes to grow in without being too near the surface where light makes them green (and poisonous!). The drainage comment is also right as lifting potatoes in a wet autumn on all but sandy soils needs ridges like these. Sandy soils allow for them to be grown in flat beds. (ex potato grower here!)

@@essexfarmer9610 Right. I remember my grandparents telling me to plant seed potatoes deeply. They raised potatoes, corn and peppers by hand without machines in a small field with sloping but very good black soil. Thanks
