LightTraxx Compact. Light. Manoeuvrable.

The LightTraxx is the ideal solution for extreme conditions. The 6 row sugar beet harvester is super compact, light and manoeuvrable.
The Traxx concept offers a unique solution for sugar beet cleaning with its up to six turbines and the CarePlus system – an unbeatable advantage for extremely sticky soil.
The automatic steering system AutoSteerPlus and the intuitive operational concept EcoTronicPlus make driving the LightTraxx brilliant simple.
The LightTraxx is efficient, economic, ergonomic and ecologic but most of all it guarantees exxact sugar beet harvesting.

 

Robust chassiswith a lot of space

The LightTraxx’s chassis creates a stable and easily accessible machine platform. The weight distribution across all four wheels guarantees low soil pressure and the highest usability even in wet conditions. The staggered wheels ensure that the machine moves across the field evenly during harvesting and leaves behind a perfectly level field. The LightTraxx is exceptionally manoeuvrable and has a very low fuel consumption due to its light weight. These features make the LightTraxx the ideal sugar beet harvester for small fields with a lot of turning.

  • Open structure – for easy cleaning and maintenance
  • Big chassis– for big lifting and cleaning turbines with optimal cleaning performance
  • Moves across the field evenly – for simple soil tilling after sugar beet harvesting

 

 

SteeringAccurate and automatic with AutoSteerPlus

The AutoSteerPlus automatic steering system enables the LightTraxx to be steered by all wheels or rubber tracks. AutoSteerPlus has three steering modes that enable the rows of sugar beets to be accurately tracked.

The driver can choose between two automatic or one manual steering mode. In the first automatic steering mode, the front wheels are steered by the sensors in the lifting unit. The rear wheels are steered by the row finders at the front of the defoliator's housing. In the second automatic mode, only the front wheels are steered. The automatic steering system enables the driver to focus all his attention on harvesting, cleaning and unloading.

  • Extremely small turning circle (inside) of 5.30 m – for very easy turning even in small fields
  • AutoSteerPlus automatic steering system – for maximum driver comfort
  • All-wheel steering – for excellent manoeuvrability

 

 

 

 

DEFOLIATOR AND MINIMUM SCALPERPerfect solutions for every demand

A correctly adjusted defoliator is a prerequisite for optimal defoliation and better lifting performance. The LightTraxx's defoliators are exceptionally robust and durable.

The ProtectPlus system protects the beets that need minimal scalping. And more protection means a higher yield.

 

 

Integrated defoliator

The integrated defoliator spreads the beet leaves on the field across the whole width of the machine. The defoliator's height is adjusted by height control wheels that are travel between the rows and also press the defoliated leaves into the soil. This does not affect the harvesting process and keeps the leaves out of the cleaning system. The integrated defoliator also makes the subsequent tilling process easier.

  • Track to track harvesting possible – for perfect beet harvesting
  • Best starting situation for conservation tillage and sowing – for a perfectly tilled field

 

 

Defoliator with side leaf spreader

The sugar beet leaves are transported to the left side of the machine by a leaf stripper. The leaf spreader disc then spreads the leaves over the surface that has already been harvested. This is the perfect solution for fields with a high percentage of leaves and weeds.

  •  Leaf stripper and spreading disc – for an even, wide distribution of large leaf and weed quantities

 

 

 

ProtectPlus

The ProtectPlus scalping system minimises loss. Preventing unnecessary damage to the beets protects them from losing energy and sugar. This innovation guarantees a higher yield.

The ProtectPlus scalping system guarantees differently sized beets are scalped optimally and enables the defoliator to be raised. ProtectPlus prevents the defoliator from damaging larger beets. The beets are scalped after they have been defoliated. An undamaged and optimally scalped sugar beet is better protected against sugar loss because less energy is lost through the damaged areas during storage.


 

 

 

ExcenterPlus lifting systemExcellent quality, formidable performance

The ExcenterPlus lifting system is designed to lift beets optimally even under extreme conditions and at high working speeds. The system works with independent eccentric lifting shares.

The depth is controlled by depth control wheels and guarantees the clean and complete lifting of beets even at high working speeds. Paddles on the control roller guide the beets to the lifting turbines.


  • Eccentric lifting shares – for optimal power transmission
  • Unique shape of lifting shares – reduces wear
  • Lifting shares can be adjusted for depth, levelling and speed – for optimal harvesting results
  • Lifting shares can be adjusted to lateral rows (up to 60 mm) – for extra beet protection
  • Large depth control wheels – reduces soil intake and fuel consumption
  • All parts are very durable – reduces maintenance costs
  • High harvesting speeds – for fast harvesting

 

 

 

CleaningUnparalleled cleaning performance and high throughput

With CarePlus, the LightTraxx has a multi-option cleaning system that guarantees better cleaning, less damage and a higher throughput – always perfectly adapted to the local soil conditions.

 

 

 

RegularCarePlus

The CarePlus lifting system enables beets to be harvested at high speed with the highest possible protection. A higher harvesting speed means a higher throughput. To meet this demand, the dimension of both lifting turbines was increased to 1,500 mm. The lifting turbines are available with tine distances of 83, 93 and 108 mm. The diameter of the cleaning turbines has also been increased to 1,550 mm. The larger harvesting and cleaning turbines not only increase throughput considerably, they also have 25% more cleaning surface. The cleaning turbines can be equipped with spring tines or gates. The large selection of spring tines and gates enables the machine to be used on a wide range of soil types and in a variety of weather conditions. The 1,000 mm wide ring elevator enables a high throughput and prevents beets from accumulating on the last cleaning turbine.


  • Two 1,500 mm lifting turbines – for an optimal flow
  • Three (1,550 mm each) or four (2 x 1,550, 2 x 1,410 mm) cleaning turbines – for maximum cleaning surface
  • 1,000 mm ring elevator – for a high throughput

 

 

 

SoftCarePlus

SoftCarePlus was specially developed for sandy soils. The gates behind the lifting shares have a relatively small gap between the rods. The lifting turbines and bar gates also have a smaller gap between the rods. The ring elevator is equipped with lower rods.

  • The loss of small beets is reduced to a minimum – for more yield

 

 

ForteCarePlus

Agrifac designed ForteCarePlus for optimal cleaning in clayey soils. Lifting turbines, cleaning turbines, and grates are cleaned with water to ensure the beets get the best possible cleaning.

  • Lifting turbines with big gaps between the rods – for the biggest possible cleaning surface
  • Lifting turbine grates and cleaning turbine grates are made from Agrifac hyperflex spring tines – for minimum beet damage
  • Durable mud scraper made from hardened steel – for minimum wear
  • Large cleaning openings – for easy beet harvesting in clayey soils
  • 800 l water tank and a large number of nozzles – for additional cleaning

Option: Rubber track unit - OptiTraxxOptimal soil protection, better soil structure

A bigger contact surface minimises soil pressure. The two front wheels can be replaced with soil protecting rubber tracks. The result is a better distribution of weight.
The OptiTraxx's front axle is equipped with two 760 mm wide and 2,250 mm long rubber tracks. The machine's light weight and the size of the contact surface of the rubber tracks reduce the soil pressure and guarantee a high level of safety even in difficult conditions. The choice for a gentle beet harvest.
