Sugar Beet Harvester

Lifts sugar beet using specialist harvesting equipment.

What it is used for

Lifts sugar beet using specialist harvesting equipment.

How to operate it

Use a compatible topper/header if required, harvest the rows and unload into high-capacity trailers.

Selection and setup

Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.

Operating procedure

Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.

Before you buy or lease

Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.

Compatibility & attachments

This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.

Procedure

  1. Use this machine only when the sugar beet crop is fully harvest-ready inside its seasonal harvest window.
  2. Prepare/unfold the machine and make sure any required receiving trailer or pallet/bale handling equipment is available before the first pass.
  3. Align with the first row/edge, lower/activate the harvesting unit and work at its rated speed.
  4. Keep the machine correctly centred on rows where the crop system requires row-following.
  5. Monitor onboard capacity/output handling and unload or collect output before it blocks continued harvesting.
  6. Finish with careful headland passes so crop at the edges is not left behind.

Alternative options

Alternative 1
Self-propelled all-in-one system.
Alternative 2
Tractor-based staged system where available.

Practical tips

  • Large beet harvests need substantial transport capacity.
  • Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
