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.
Explanation: indicate what is "integral" about it? Is it SELF-PROPELLED as opposed to pulled by a tractor, or does it perform ancillary operations making it a BEET PULLER AND TOPPER or BEET PULLER AND CLEANER, etc.?

Given that your text opposes "intégrale" to "automotrice", it looks as if "tanker harvester" might be the word you want.

From the horse's mouth:
To keep up with constantly growing demands for more efficiency and productivity THE WORLD’S LARGEST SELF-PROPELLED TANKER HARVESTER with a load capacity of 35 m³ (22 tons) was conceived in 1992. Once this new 3-axle machine had been introduced to the public at a harvesting demonstration in Seligenstadt customers and specialists alike were impressed http://www.ropa-maschinenbau.de/eng/unternehmen_eng/geschich...

Cette machine à 3 essieux a été présentée au public à la démonstration des machines de récolte à Seligenstadt. Les clients comme le monde professionnel sont enthousiastes http://www.ropa-maschinenbau.de/fra/unternehmen_fra/geschich...
I possibly should have been a little more specific... My problem is with the qualifier 'intégrale'. There seem to be very few hits for 'integral harvester'/'integrated harvester' etc. Yet the French 'arracheuse intégrale' seems to get quite a lot, and to refer to something clear and specific.
