Hi Jaime,

I would like to say the technology of harvesting sugar beet is similar to the carrot harvester. We do teach this technology to the students. First the machine cut the upper part of the plant (leaves and part of the root) then the root can be uploaded with a knife penetrate below the root and uplift it to the conveyor and from there to part to collect the roots.

This may give you an idea where to look.
