6.13.2 Defoliator shaft
The defoliator shaft tops off the beet leaf and chops it into stock (for RIS and RES) or
drops it into the leaf duct (for RBS). With the RAS type, the beet leaf can be chopped
with the hydraulic defoliator flap in the leaf duct or directly on the ground. Always set
the defoliator shaft so that the beets rising farthest from the ground are almost com-
pletely topped. For an average field of beets, after topping of the beet leaf, a beet leaf
rest of about 2-3 cm should remain on the beet. In any case avoid the defoliator shaft
touching large rocks or even the surface of the soil.
WARNING
Injury hazard from foreign objects flung away!
Due to the great speed of the defoliator shaft, foreign objects are flung away with great
power.
– Therefore, always keep the prescribed safety distance.
