Ropa Panther 2S
The Ropa Panther 2S is a self-propelled, two-axle sugar beet harvester designed for harvesting sugar beets over large areas. This harvester is the successor to the Panther 2 and incorporates much of the technology from the larger Tiger 6S, such as the engine and the cab.
Powerful Volvo Penta engine
The Volvo Penta six-cylinder engine delivers 796 pk (585 kW) and a maximum torque of 3,650 Nm. Torque of 3,550 Nm is available as low as 1,000 rpm, allowing for plowing at low engine speeds.
Soil-friendly chassis with slope compensation
The chassis features two oscillating axles with four stabilizer cylinders. This reduces machine sway and protects the soil. With R-Balance, the undercarriage can be tilted on both sides by approximately 7 percent relative to the slope. This keeps the harvester level and allows the operator to remain seated upright. Manual slope compensation is standard; automatic slope compensation is optional.
Harvesting, Cleaning, and Unloading
The RR harvesting unit is available in 6-, 8-, or 9-row configurations. The beets are cleaned by three sieve drums with diameters of 1,740, 1,550, and 1,550 mm and are then conveyed to the hopper via a 1,000 mm-wide hopper elevator. The hopper has a capacity of approximately 30 m³, which is equivalent to 21 metric tons. The discharge conveyor is 1,600 mm wide, folds into three sections, and discharges to a height of 4.00 m. A full hopper is emptied in less than a minute.
R-Trim and R-Contour
The Panther 2S is available with optional R-Trim and R-Contour. R-Trim automatically adjusts the height of the chopper, while R-Contour adjusts the cutting depth per row. This reduces the driver’s workload and prevents crop loss, unnecessary soil intake, and root breakage when harvesting too close to the surface.
Comfortable Cab and R-Connect
The panoramic cab is carried over from the Tiger 6S and features two 12.1-inch R-Touch displays, an air-suspended seat with heating and ventilation, and automatic air conditioning. R-Connect telematics with a SIM card comes standard. Through the myROPA portal, you can monitor jobs, machine location, and diagnostics online, and a technician can view the machine remotely.
