French term or phrase: arracheuse de betteraves intégrale
"Une intégrale est une arracheuse de betteraves avec une grosse trémie de 15 à 25 tonnes, selon le modèle, lui permettant de stocker et débarder elle-même les betteraves arrachées. Elle s’oppose aux automotrices de récolte traditionnelles, de moindre capacité, qui nécessitent des bennes extérieures tirées par des tracteurs (en général 2 ou 3), et donc aussi plus de personnel. En outre, une intégrale peut plus facilement rentrer dans des terres très humides et travailler jour et nuit."

A nice explanation, but I still cannot find the equivalent term in English! Thanks in advance for any help.

"The garden beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris var. vulgaris), also known as the table beet, beetroot, red beet or informally simply as beet, is one of the many cultivated varieties of beets and arguably the most commonly encountered variety in North America and Britain."

  -> Thanks, Catherine!

disagree  liz askew: How do you differentiate this between "sugar-beet" and "beetroot"?//not in my mind. Sugar beet is not the same as beetroot./See:http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&as_q=sugar beet picture...
1 hr
  -> Beet and beetroot are the same things. You're right about the sugar beet. However, in French, sugar beet is "betterave sucrière" so your disagree is unfair.

That was some clever detective work! Thanks very much.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi. The only information about what it does is in the quote above, which seems to indicate that it is 'integral' because it carries the beets as it goes along, rather than transfering them to a separate tank pulled by tractors. I would think it is self-propelled, not 100% sure about the rest...
