Grimme SE 150 60 potato planter
The Grimme SE 150 60 is a powerful self-propelled potato tedder with a lateral undercutting. It is very popular in the farming world, thanks to its easy operation, its high degree of automation, its user friendliness and its reliability. The machine is a product of a well-known brand from Germany, which supplies its equipment to different countries of the world. In the segment of potato harvesters no machine of Russian or foreign production today can not compare with Grimme models in terms of quality and properties.
The first modifications of Grimme SE 150 60 appeared on the market at the end of the 1990s. Over the last 20 years the model has undergone several serious improvements, and is still the flagship of the two-row potato harvester class.
Purpose
The main use of the model is to dig out the potatoes planted with the potato harvesters at a given inter-row spacing, and then to separate the tubers from dirt and tips. At the final stage the Grimme SE 150 60 brings the tubers into the hopper and unloads them into the transport. Functionally, the installation of an automatic pressure adaptation mechanism on the weir, which prevents the formation of clumps when working on wet soil. Such a system, in turn, reduces the process of damage to the potatoes. Self-propelled shredder SE 150 60 is used on difficult plots of large areas, where it shows high efficiency. The device is available with additional attachments, with which you can harvest celery, onions, carrots and other vegetables. Spare parts and maintenance are also quite democratic in price, for example, a double-row ball bearing on the clutch for harvesters is always in stock and can be ordered.
Modifications and functions
The Grimme SE 150 60 has been in production since 1998. During this time, the combine has gone through several upgrades, as models of different years have certain design features:
- 1998 – First generation;
- 1999 – appearance of drive axle as an option;
- 2000 – modernization of drawbar;
- 2001 – improvement of the main drive. Replacement of drive chains with driveshaft;
- 2003 – appearance of new MDA computers and VC 50 terminals;
- 2004 – expansion (functional) in the form of 7500 kg hopper, increased track width (3300 mm) and new SB separator with 2 needle conveyors;
- 2005: introduction of the reloading hopper as an option;
- 2006 – addition of a hydraulically driven receiving belt (option) with reinforced hopper brackets;
- 2008 – extension of drawbar by 400 mm;
- 2010 – new XXL separator as an option. Drive shaft and frame upgraded, loading height increased, cone conveyor and loading judge reinforced;
- 2011 – the possibility of assembling large-diameter tires (800 / 45-30,5);
- 2012 – appearance of stone box with starter conveyor and control lever (option);
- 2014 – introduction of the Speedtronic mechanism, which detects the percentage of filling of transport bags with potato mass to illustrate the speed of transport.
The Grimme SE 150 60 Global changes has survived 20 years of production, so the first versions differ considerably from today’s models. This affects both the technical properties and the cost of the machines.
Combine features:
- Automatic adjustment of the position of the reel, taking into account the demolition;
- Swiveling wheel base which increases maneuverability and agility;
- Special stone containers with the possibility of displacement;
- Multifunctionality (a variety of vegetables can be harvested);
- Branded hopper equipment with rubberized distribution window for even filling of the stockpile;
- Bixes with auto-reverse for easy operation on wet and loamy soils;
- Maintains lowest hopper drop height;
- Minimum impact on the ground;
- Availability of an observation table with good visibility and the possibility of contact with the machine operator;
- Lower height between levels, which reduces the risk of damage to vegetables when falling.
The main disadvantage of the machine is the gravel device, which in combination with the tilt compensation mechanism can cause the combine to oscillate from one side to the other.

The design of Grimme SE 150 60 is represented by the following main elements:
- Runner equipment;
- Moeller with damming drums and disconnecting discs;
- Main sponsor;
- Milling racer;
- Screening Conveyor;
- Screening Conveyor;
- Contamination Conveyor;
- Stone trap;
- Sorting table;

Since the end of the 20th century, the manufacturer offers this model in 2 versions of the chassis: with driving wheels with a hydrostatic drive or with steering wheels. Modifications without a drive are more popular. Since the beginning of production, the chassis has been upgraded several times, the latest versions received a wider axle. A high-speed pant is available for both chassis variants. The standard tires for the combines are 600/55-26.5, but 710/45-26.5 and 800/45-30.5 are also available.
The combine is hitched with a K-80 ball hitch. The drawbar behind the hitch has been upgraded and enlarged several times. Since 2012, the model is equipped with a PTO shaft made by Bondioli and Pavesi, previously a Walterscheid PTO shaft was used. Installed pinion with 3 gears is functional. Since 2001 the axle drive is no longer equipped with drive chains. The inspection table and the separation mechanisms are hydraulically operated.
The standard pick-up section is 1500 mm wide and does an excellent job of digging out vegetables. The side channel has a robust design and is used for primary sorting.
After the first and second elevator there is a needle conveyor, which receives the vegetable mass. This element has been standardized for all models of the brand since 2010, so there are no problems with its replacement. For the Grimme SE 150 60 different types of Semip Hingastik are available:
- Type UB is made in a finger feed format with a cleaning roller and stepless hydraulic adjustment. It is used on soils with limited stones and lumps.
- Type SB is a brush conveyor with infinitely variable hydraulic adjustment and a transfer conveyor used for trash. This separate device is recommended for use on soils with a large number of stones.
- The NB type is a hydraulically adjusted, reinforced cleaning vault. Such a device is used on light soil without lumps and stones.
After performing basic operations, the plant mass enters the hopper, which is functionally equipped with a rubber gasket to optimize filling. With the addition of the 6,000 kg factory hopper, up to 6,300 kg can be received. There is also an elevated hopper with a capacity of up to 7,500 kg. Since 2005, the manufacturer offers a special hopper for reloading. In the standard version, the hopper is equipped with lever handles.
The combination is controlled with a bidon, and the Isobus control is defined on request. In the basic version, the model can be controlled with CCI200 and CCI100 terminals. However, the most common is the VC50 terminal, which is equipped with a touch keypad. It is a direct mode with free programming capability. The GBX860 with 2 transverse levers is used to operate the balancing system and the bridge. The GBX870 is used to control the hopper on the left side. The Visual Protect option is very handy, which automatically switches the monitoring screen to the appropriate camera if there is a problem with the equipment.
