Hydraulic Folding Wings allows machine width to be reduce to 13’ for transport and storage
The Alloway FDS-Series Folding Sugar Beet Defoliator offers patented construction that folds to a narrow thirteen-foot wide profile for safe, easy transportation. It features two wings that independently follow the contour of the ground, allowing more precise coverage of beet crowns, even on rougher terrain. In addition, the defoliator’s unique two-gearbox design distributes operating loads more uniformly, enhancing overall dependability.
