2026 Alloway FD Folding Sugarbeet Defoliator

Easy Transportation, Cleaning & Storage
This innovative Twelve-Row Folding Defoliator is the only folding topper in the market. It offers patented construction that folds to a narrow thirteen-foot wide profile for safe, easy transportation. It features two six-row 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.

Features may include:

• Hydraulic Folding Wings allows the machine to be reduced to 13’ for transport and storage requirements.
• Floating Six-Row Wings have individual depth controls. As a result, beet crowns get more precise and uniform treatment.
• Special Bearing Bracket for the inside rotor mount places the bearing within the flail tube for maximum protection and increased reliability.
• With Heavy Duty Cast 1-15/16″ Bearings and dust caps
• Two High-Capacity Gearboxes keep six drive belts short and offer a choice of rotor rotation.
• Each of the six-row shafts is driven by a 3C Power Band Belt, delivering highly reliable power transfer while reducing belt fatigue and replacement cost.
• Extra-Large Clearance within the rotor housing reduces soil build-up.
• Folding Linkage specially designed to use vertical hydraulic cylinders to fold to a very narrow profile.
• Hydraulic Front and Rear Cylinders make height adjustments easy.
• New Style Hitch allows PTO to run at a reduced angle.
• Longer, transfer shaft for less stress on the PTO, and hose holders.
• New Replaceable Drive Shaft in flail tube.
• Front Wing Pin Locks for easy, quick, and safe wing locking.

Optional:

• Wing Lift Cylinders (cylinders vs. ratchet jack on back wing tires) aid in leveling and lifting defoliator.
• Rear Steer allows turning in narrow headlands and irrigated land.
• Self-Centering Rear Steer includes same features of rear steer and allows the machine to re-center automatically.
• Front Stabilizer Wheels prevents topper from dipping in the corners.
• Mechanical Knife Scalpers or Ground Driven Circular Rotating Scalpers (now with new easier to adjust design) top beets giving growers the best possible performance in a variety of difficult harvesting conditions.
• Rear Row Finder to align equipment over the row hydraulically.
