Leeb 9 LT and Edward Ford

#HORSCHtogether

Edward Ford is the managing partner of the family-run farm Childerditch Farms east of London and knows: efficiency and reliability are crucial if the application windows get shorter and the technical requirements increase. This is why he relies on the Leeb LT for plant protection - in his opinion, it is the right combination of precision and versatility. He was particularly impressed by the cleaning system, the ISOBUS integration and especially the active boom control system BoomControl Pro. „This allow for working closer to the ground, apply agents more reliably which significantly improves the effect of the agents. Moreover, the system opens up additional application windows.“, Edward Ford explains. The system is complemented by AutoSelect Pro which automatically adjusts the nozzles when cornering.

With the new Leeb 9 LT HORSCH launches a model that combines a tank capacity of 9 000 l with a single-axle design. It is an extension of the portfolio between the traditional LT, the Leeb GS and the tandem line – ideal for farms that need a higher work rate without compromising on manoeuvrability. Edward Ford points out that the tank size is a decisive factor for productivity. For him, the 9 LT is an interesting solution which could become interesting in the future if his farm continues to grow.
