From past to present
1979 marked the birth of the first towed beet cleaner loader built by HOLMER. Just three years later, another milestone followed with the first self-propelled loader, the Fischer Maus – named after the inventor Erich Fischer – marking another achievement. In 1989, HOLMER once again set new standards: the Terra Felis, the first self-propelled beet cleaner loader from our company, revolutionized fieldwork. Since then, we have been driven by a clear goal: to develop more powerful, efficient, flexible, and resource-conserving machines with each new generation. Our current Terra Felis evo 3 is a prime example of this continuous innovation and our consistent alignment with the needs of our customers. It underscores HOLMER’s leading role in modern agriculture once again.
