Folding Harvester Overview
Considering a new 12 row harvester? 2008 will be Worth the Wait. Nothing stays the same and the sugar beet industry is no exception to that rule with increasing demands for better, bigger and more efficient equipment. At Alloway we continue to strive to meet those changing needs to better serve our customers needs. Alloway’s harvester line has improved and is making changes for the same reasons we designed our Exclusive Patented Folding 12 row Defoliator; easy transportation to and from the field, easy maintenance and cleaning along with convenient storage. We cover more ground and make it easy to get around.
