Pronto 3 - 4 DC

• Efficient crumbling and even levelling over the whole working width
• High clearance extends the range of applications and increases reliability
• Increasing quality of work with increasing operational speed
• Hydraulic depth adjustment, infinitely variable while driving

The 46 cm discs with a serrated profile achieve high rotational speeds and the penetration is excellent. The soil is mixed very aggressively, important fine soil is produced and the seedbed is levelled. Clearance is optimum as the disc elements are arranged in pairs. This additionally increases the reliability of the machine. The hydraulic depth adjustment allows for an infinitely variable adjustment while driving

• Targeted, even levelling and consolidation in front of each seed coulter
• Straight tyre profile increases consolidation in the consolidation area
• Packer middle section also serves as a chassis for transport
• Efficient consolidation below the seed horizon for better water distribution towards the seeds
• Low horsepower requirement due to large tyre diameter and no scrapers required

The HORSCH tyre packer ensures a targeted and even levelling and consolidation in front of every seed coulter The tyres are arranged in one line. Thus, clearance is optimum even on light soils. The straight tyre profile increases consolidation. The 10-ply special HORSCH tyres ensure a long service life.
An efficient consolidation below the seed horizon guarantee a better water distribution towards the seeds The horsepower requirement is low due to large tyre diameter and no scrapers are required.

• Double disc coulter
• Creates a precise seed furrow
• Press wheel-controlled (5 cm or 7.5 cm wide)
• Uniformer prevents the grains from bouncing
• Inside scraper prevents blocking and clogging of the coulters
• Coulter pressure up to 125 kg via rubber torsion
• Designed for precise seed placement at high operational speeds
• Allows for an even and safe emergence

A perfect embedding of the seed and an immediate seed-soil contact are important for a safe and even emergence. HORSCH perfectly copes with the challenge to achieve this objective even at high operational speeds. The solution is called TurboDisc. The double disc coulter that has been used and constantly developed further by HORSCH for more than 20 years excels due to its precise seed placement. The press wheel-controlled coulter design allows for a quick following of the soil contours at high speeds. Thus, the set placement depth can be kept up for every single grain.

The double disc seed coulter with a maintenance-free bearing opens the soil and thus allows for an undisturbed seed placement. The integrated Uniformer ensures the fixing of the seed at the bottom of the seed furrow even at very high operational speeds. A carbide coated scraper keeps the space between the discs clean and thus prevents clogging even in sticky and wet conditions. The 5 cm or 7.5 cm wide press wheel then ensures an optimum seed-soil contact and an exact depth control.

In addition to the excellent following of the soil, the TurboDisc seed bar excels due to the easy operation: with regard to their adjustment, coulter pressure and seed depth do not influence each other. The maintenance-free rubber bearings of the seed coulters transfer a coulter pressure of up to125 kg and thus guarantee a smooth coulter – up to an operational speed of 20 km/h. Furthermore, the rubber bearing serves as an overload protection and a shock absorber for stones.

• Exact application
• Optimum seed distribution
• HORSCH rotor selection – find the optimum rotor for your machine quickly and easily
• Depending on the components, seed rate and operational speed, various options can be selected
• Easily accessible
• Rotor shafts can be replaced without any tools

HORSCH rotors stand for utmost flexibility with regard to the application of different components. Depending on seed rate and operational speed when sowing, there are different rotors to choose from. For machines with double drop tube and two seed towers, only rotors with two spacing discs or, depending on the metering system, double rotors may be used to guarantee the half-width shut-off as well as a precise seed distribution.

The HORSCH metering system ensures a precise maintenance of the adjusted seed rate and an optimum seed distribution across the whole working width of the pneumatic seed drill.

The rotor selection programe allows for finding the appropriate rotor quickly and easily. All specifications are reference values that depend on the adjustment and the machine. We always recommend a calibration test before sowing.

If a non-optimal rotor has been installed, the valves above the metering devices will help. A valve above the metering device is installed as standard in the single hopper injector machines. The valves for machines with a pressurised hopper are inside the integrated toolbox and can be inserted without any tools if required. This allows for a fast replacement of the rotor even if the hopper is full without losing any seed.

• Both components are metered separately and are transported together via the distribution tower or the distribution towers into the seed coulter.
• The G & F system double hopper system allows for simultaneously applying seed and fertiliser as contact fertilisation.
• The fertiliser is immediately available to the young plant and thus contributes to a quick early growth. This system should only be used in appropriate climatic conditions and with the assistance of a crop production consultant.
• Not only seed and fertiliser, but also 2 different seeds can be transported, metered and sown separately.

The G & F system double hopper system allows for simultaneously applying seed and fertiliser as contact fertilisation. Both metering devices meter into one common distribution tower. Seed and fertiliser are thus placed together in one furrow. The fertiliser is immediately available to the young plant and thus contributes to a quick early growth. This system should only be used in appropriate climatic conditions and with the assistance of a crop production consultant. Not only seed and fertiliser, but also 2 different seeds can be transported, metered and sown separately.

• Allows for applying 2 components in 2 horizons at the same time
• PPF disc system, separate single disc coulters allow for a placement below and between the seed coulters.
• As seed and fertiliser are placed separately, high quantities can be applied in dry conditions.
• Thus, the created fertiliser depot can be used optimally by the plant and encourages the roots to grow downwards.
• When sowing catch crops, coarse-grained legumes for example can be applied in a deep seed horizon while another component is placed more shallowly via the TurboDisc seed coulters.

The PPF-system allows for simultaneously applying seed and fertiliser. Via separate fertiliser coulters, the fertiliser is placed a few centimetres below the seed furrow in the wet soil. As seed and fertiliser are placed separately, high quantities can be applied in dry conditions. Thus, the created fertiliser depot can be used optimally by the plant and encourages the roots to grow downwards. When sowing catch crops, coarse-grained legumes for example can be applied in a deep seed horizon while another component is placed more shallowly via the TurboDisc seed coulters.

With regard to the MiniDrill HORSCH offers various versions.

• The MiniDrill can be used as a second or third hopper for seed, fertiliser or microgranular compounds. It can either meter into the seed coulters or into an optional PPF disc system.
• The MiniDrill with a capacity of 400 l
• Example- 400 l of rape seed in the MiniDrill allow for filling the other hoppers with mineral fertiliser.
  • Filling stops are easily reduced, and you gain valuable time for sowing. Thus, when sowing rape, the efficiency of the machine almost doubles.
