Abstract: A device for harvesting root fruits located in the ground is provided that may include a support frame, a pair of uprooting shares mounted on the support frame, which are designed to convey root fruits located in the ground out of the ground. The pair of uprooting shares defines a central plane (M-M) and is movably mounted on the support frame in a transverse direction (QR). The harvesting device has a guide device, which is designed to detect the position of a root fruit located in the ground and to be harvested and to guide the pair of uprooting shares in the transverse direction (QR) with respect to the root fruit to be harvested in the direction of a centered position.

Abstract: The beet head trimming apparatus for a beet-harvesting machine comprises a frame, two flail hubs rotatable about an axis, flails, which are designed in order to remove leaves from beets remaining in the ground, and a drive in order to drive the flail hubs with respect to the frame. The drive comprises a motor and a gearbox and the flails are movably attached to the flail hubs. The motor and the gearbox are attached to the frame. The frame of the beet head trimming apparatus is coupled with a beet-harvesting machine. The beet head trimming apparatus couples the motor with an electrical and/or hydraulic energy source. The beet head trimming apparatus is a module that can be handled separately from the beet-harvesting machine.

Abstract: Machine for harvesting roots planted in the ground and aligned in rows, comprising a unit (36) for horizontally cutting the head of the roots, said unit having a means for automatically adjusting the level of its cutting blade depending on the level of this head, and being followed by a harvesting unit (48) that hollows out the earth beneath the roots at a relative height beneath the cutting level, characterized in that it has a means for detecting the height of the top of the root e, and a means for adjusting the relative height of the harvesting unit (48) with respect to the cutting level, depending on this height.
