Trike running gear and a 9.0t hopper are genuine novelties on the new Grimme harvester. But there are
still bits that haven’t yet fully evolved to the point where they work in the field … as our test reveals

At Agritechnica 2017, Grimme unveiled the Evo 290 two-row trailed harvester complete with 9.0t bunker wrapped in some snazzy bodywork. Keen to see how the new design would perform out in the field we tested one of the firm’s 50 pre-production machines last autumn in Germany.
