Agri Poppe - AP Lift

AP-LIFT system improves harvesting on heavy clay, loose peat, steep slopes and stony soil. By mechanically cutting the potato ridges and pulling them in with the discs, the problem of excessive or insufficient thrust is eliminated. In addition, the AP-LIFT system prevents foliage from building up around the chisels, which can cause blockages.

With the AP-LIFT system, machines can harvest more days per year and the machine maintains high capacity in more difficult conditions. Furthermore, the machine uses up to 10 liters less fuel per hectare because significantly less traction is required. In addition, the sieving capacity increases because the soil is spread evenly over the mat.

The AP-LIFT system can make the difference between harvesting only part of the potatoes and harvesting the entire crop. The potatoes that are left behind are always the most expensive, so the AP-LIFT system can pay for itself within a day by saving this valuable crop.

The AP-LIFT system contributes to two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations. First, the system promotes more efficient food production and reduces food waste by allowing more days of harvesting per year and continued harvesting even under difficult conditions. Secondly, the system supports adaptation to the effects of climate change by providing high harvesting capacity, even under extreme weather conditions.
