Product overview | Grimme Varitron 470 Terra Trac

Self-propelled harvesters excel with the perfectly matched combination of performance, driving comfort, and manoeuvrability. The resulting harvest reliability, even under the most difficult conditions, plays a decisive role in many cases. With its VARITRON 470 TERRA TRAC, GRIMME offers a powerful 4-row self-propelled harvester on rubber tracks, which can be equipped with a wide range of different separators. The 7 ton bunker is used the whole time with effective capacity thanks to the rotating bunker web. Using the rubber tracks, a maximum driving stability and safety is achieved, even under adverse and humid soil conditions. The connection to myGRIMME facilitates the storage and retrieval of machine data and task data. And, thanks to the SmartView video system, you always have an overview of the most important machine functions.

Safety & Visibility

The Varitron 470 Gen3 also comes with strong safety and monitoring systems. The SmartView BASIC package includes eight cameras around the machine, feeding into a large monitor with features like zoom, slow-motion replay, and even live streaming via WLAN. An additional SideView system removes blind spots by showing a 360° view around the machine, making maneuvering safer. The built-in SmartConnect telematics unit links the harvester to the myGRIMME platform, allowing remote data transfer, performance tracking, and service support. These tools not only make the operator’s work easier but also help prevent accidents and reduce costly mistakes.

Operator Comfort & Technology

Inside the cab, GRIMME has focused on making the operator’s job as easy as possible. The ErgoDrive system places a multifunction joystick and keypad right in the armrest, so all major functions are at your fingertips. A large CCI 1200 touchscreen displays machine settings, performance data, and camera views in a simple layout. Beyond the cab, the machine connects to the myGRIMME platform, which stores machine and field data, helps with task documentation, and even makes ordering spare parts easier. This mix of comfort and smart technology helps reduce stress and paperwork while keeping harvesting operations running smoothly.

Key Harvesting Features

The Grimme Varitron 470 Terra Trac self-propelled harvester is packed with smart systems to keep the crop flow smooth and reduce downtime. Its full-width intake and main webs across all four rows prevent blockages and make cleaning and maintenance easier. The NonstopBunker design is especially efficient, boosting productivity by up to 30% compared to traditional unloading systems. Hydraulic drives and the Speedtronic automatic elevator control adjust speeds automatically to protect the potatoes while keeping output steady. Together, these features make the machine faster, gentler on crops, and easier to manage in busy harvesting conditions.
