6.13.9.5 Spring loading/cutting angle of the scalper (Micro-Topper 2)
The scalper pressure can be changed by resetting the spring (2) built into the scalper.
This may be required, for instance, in case of very soft soil. If the spring pressure is
too high for very soft or very loose soil, then the beets may be toppled over instead
of topped by the scalper. In case of very high lifting speeds, on the other hand, the
scalper must be loaded more to move the flail into the optimum cutting position fast
enough.
In beet crops with gaps, with beets sitting shallow and jutting from the ground very
high, the pressure on the scalper may in no case be chosen too high, because then
some beets are toppled over by the scalper. These beets are partially not picked up by
the lifter. It results in beet losses.
Micro-Topper 2
The cutting angle can be changed slightly by turning the turnbuckle (1).
