Tiger 6S with wheel share lifter Experience reports

Jobst Thiele - Otto and Rainer Thiele GbR contracting company Our family runs an agricultural contracting business in Lower Saxony, north-west of Hanover. Harvesting sugar beet has always been in our range of services. In 2017, we acquired our first ROPA machine, the Tiger 6, due to the impressive technological features and first-class service offered by Palandt. One more ROPA Tiger 6 joined our vehicle fleet in 2021. In previous years, we repeatedly had certain problems caused by dry conditions and varieties with poor leaf growth, which made harvesting difficult due to large quantities of...

Jörn Honermeier and Stefan Leschke - Rüben- und Dienstleistungs AG Nord We have been working with ROPA for many years. In the past, we used various machines, initially second hand and later new machines. In 2022, we had an opportunity to operate a machine with the wheel share lifter from a different manufacturer. In the process, we noticed some positive features of this type of lifter. When it came to choosing the basic harvester and the technology, we clearly wanted a ROPA beet harvester again. This wish was also based on the outstanding service provided by ADAP Technik GmbH. We discussed...

Zdeněk Šilar - Managing Director of DAGROS, Czech Republic DAGROS represents the ROPA brand in the Czech and Slovak Republics for over 20 years. Personally, I have been working with ROPA for more than 25 years. In this period of time, we sold more than 140 machines to almost 60 customers. These customers chose ROPA machines for their performance, reliability and, above all, their ability to cope with even extremely challenging harvesting conditions. In 2012, we changed our business concept and started to demonstrate to our customers the excellent quality of ROPA machines on our own example...

Martin Beauvallet - SARL BEAUCHAMPS, France My father, my uncle and myself are all farmers and partners in our farm in Greneville-en-Beauce, about 15 kilometres from ROPA Janville in Loiret.

Contractor Dalmose Vognmandsforretning ApS, Denmark My name is Henrik Jørgensen and I run an agricultural contracting company in Denmark which specialises in the sugar beet production. It all started in 2012, when I took over a part of the Dalmose Vognmandsforretning. At that time, it was a transport company with just one Maus loader that loaded and transported sugar beet of local farmers to the factory. We have grown steadily since then, but still focus on the sugar beet sector. Today, our vehicle fleet consists of five Tiger 6 harvesters, two ROPA beet harvesters that have been converted...

sceptical about the new lifting system, even though ROPA had already been testing it for several years. We all know that there's always a learning curve. But I have to say, when I look back at the 750 hectares harvested with this machine during a pretty tough and challenging season, it has certainly fulfilled our expectations. Of course, we had a few problems during the season, but nothing that our local partner Mertz, together with ROPA, couldn't solve with the utmost competence. Regarding the 9-row Tiger 6S XL which harvested 930 ha this season, we are highly impressed with the durability...

Hans Hendlmeier - Service technician, support for wheel share lifter project in the field For over 20 years I have been working in the Service department at ROPA and co-operating closely with the R&D department. My passion focuses on the development and optimisation of special machines and new components to promote technical progress. Many years of search for alternatives to the vibrating shares as an all-round lifting system ultimately led to the application of the wheel shares. Our task: Development of new markets with specific challenges such as irrigation and other factors that cause...

Rexroth offers an incredible drive performance that has no rivals on the market. It provides an advance on extremely sticky soils and ensures that the wheel shares are not stuck together with the soil. Depth guide: The exact lifting depth is controlled by the depthcontrol shaft, similar to the RR lifter. Reversible: The wheel share drive can be reversed while maintaining full drive power. Rotational speed: The speed with advance can be set individually for each component. Specifically, the speed of the wheel share and rubber paddle, depth-control shaft and lifting rollers 1 to 6. The 7th...
