A new self-propelled beet-harvester with 25% greater capacity and significantly lower fuel consumption is now on offer from Agrihold.

The six-row Agrifac WKM 9000S has bigger cleaning turbines and wider crop elevator than its predecessor.

Its 13t hopper unloads in just 60 seconds and its six wheels are staggered to spread the weight over its full width.

In addition, its new 362hp Deutz six-cylinder engine runs at just 1350rpm in work, making it more economical than the previous machine which ran at 1900rpm.

It weighs in at approximately £200,000.
