„In the field of beet lifting, nothing happens without HOLMER. We have been convinced about their top lifting quality for 25 years.“ Sebastian Binder (ZRG Weserbergland) In 1969 Alfons Holmer took over his father‘s village blacksmith‘s workshop. In 1974, he developed the first self-driving, 6-row sugar beet harvester – a milestone in agricultural technology. HOLMER has since been a partner in the agricultural sector for almost 50 years. The sugar beet lifter Terra Dos T4 was introduced in 2013 at Agritechnica. To this day, it is being constantly further developed in Eggmühl – be it through...

Beet lifting made easy The Terra Dos T4 is a milestone in beet harvesting technology and has been setting new standards every year since 2013. Be it with the world record of 2015 or the DLG Silver Medal for Headland Management SmartTurn at Agritechnica 2017. The machine of the year 2014 and 2016 has proven itself to farmers, communities, contractors and the sugar industry in over 45 countries worldwide. Since HOLMER developed the first self-propelled, 6-row beet lifter in 1974, the basic idea of lifting from the shares has remained unchanged – only that is has now been much further...

GERM „The Terra Dos T4 is the best beet lifter we‘ve ever built. I am particularly proud of the propulsion concept.“ Dr.-Ing. Michael Gallmeier (Head of Development) From professionals for professionals. HOLMER has been building successful sugar beet harvesters for over 40 years. Our experience is your success. Perfectly constructed, intelligently networked - that was the holistic approach when developing the Terra Dos T4. Our developers threw all their expertise into this. Intelligent designs and the use of modern, high-strength steels guarantee maximum stability and optimum material...

The HOLMER Terra Dos T4 is the best beet lifter of all times - no matter whether with two or three axles. This is the reason for the Terra Dos T4's modular design. Thus, innovations from practice are directly introduced into all series. In addition, carry-over parts facilitate spare parts management, the uniform operating concept ensures user friendliness and the identical design stands for optimum serviceability. Same modules make life easier: > Mercedes engine with HP / 460 kW - for working economically > Wide elevator conveyors, transfer webs and discharge elevators - for highest...

World record Already in autumn 2015, HOLMER presented its 12-row lifting unit HR 12. From the team of developers, Eduard Richer immediately put it through the toughest practical test – and set the world record in the sugar beet lifting! On 28 September 2015 at 12:01, a HOLMER Terra Dos T4-30 with HR 12 started working towards this world record. In 24 hours, it lifted 85.6 ha of sugar beet in the areas of Baltic Agrar in Liepen (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).

Topper The leaf stalk has approximately 5-7 cm – depending on the area of application and setting – which the topper of the Terra Dos T4 leaves on the sugar beet. The remaining leaves are cut off. Another completely new innovation is the extension of the automatic depth control HOLMER EasyLift on the topper. This is now automatically adjusted in height – leaving only as many centimetres of leaf stalk that the operator has previously set; elaborate adjustments are no longer needed. When the roller speed is changed, the topper is readjusted automatically. The topper height is guided...

DynaCut scalpers HOLMER has perfected the defoliating cutting technique with the DynaCut. Its new geometry allows the DynaCut to harvest the entire beet without any leaves left attached. Because the beet head is your yield. >>More agile handling of the scalpers due to reduced weight – ensuring reliable scalping of beets even at high speeds. >>Adjustable head level at the push of a button – for optimum lifting results >>Rejection of beets that have been cut too low – for your yield >>Easy maintenance and low service costs – for your profit

Option: Combi-defoliator Two oppositely rotating cleaning shafts with a total of 50 rubber beaters work at a reduced speed along the direction of travel. In combination with the standard topper shaft and HOLMER DynaCut scalper, the beets are harvested as a whole without leaves. In contrast to comparable techniques, the HOLMER combi-defoliator no longer works transversely, but in line with the direction of travel. Harvest what has grown. >>2 counteractive cleaning shafts – for a perfect work result >>50 rubber beaters per shaft – for gentle beet defoliating and the least wear >>Minimised...

Lifter unit As early as 2009, the HR lifting unit had been awarded a silver medal by the DLG. At that time, the singlerow depth guide for every pair of lifting coulters was revolutionary. Since then, HOLMER has steadily worked on further developing the lifting unit. With HOLMER EasyLift, the single row depth control has been working automatically since 2015 – for six, eight, nine or twelve rows. The recipe for success of the HR lifter unit is its modular structure of the single row unit, which automatically beet position. Because we invented the single-row depth guide. >>Best view into the...

Beets located lower down Beets located higher up Scalper height Soil horizon Working depth without EasyLift Working depth with EasyLift Low-yield zone Potential to avoid unnecessary pick-up of soil >>Shallower lifting operation! Potential to avoid damage >>Deeper lifting operation! Option: EasyLift The EasyLift that was developed by HOLMER automatically takes over the depth control of the individual share bodies so that each beet can be lifted at the optimum depth at all times. For this purpose, the on-board computer calculates the maximum heights of the beet from position measurements and...

„I would no longer be carrying out lifting work if it weren‘t for EasyLift. It has become much more relaxed. So I can focus on the best lifting results.“ Rauno Uhlit (ZRG Weserbergland) Beet harvesting has become a challenge for transport. This is solved by decoupling the harvest and transport on the field. Short loading times are the basis for a functioning logistics chain. >>The sugar beet harvester remains the key machine for beet harvesting. It needs be utilised optimally. In this case, wider harvesting units increase the surface area – for lower lifting costs per hectare. At the same...
