HORSCH Focus ExperienceTour

Targeted loosening, targeted fertilising, targeted seeding 

These are the three fields of competence of the Focus that characterise it as a StripTill machine and make it attractive with regard to yield stability and cost saving. By means of the interchangeable seed bar it can be used flexibly for sowing different crops – from rape, wheat to row crops like maize.  

What are its advantages in practical use?

The videos of our Focus ExperienceTour will show them. We visited various farms, saw the Focus working in the field and talked to practical farmers to gather their direct impressions and experiences.

  • Farmer
  • Focus 4 TD for sowing rapeseed
  • „An important advantage of this seed drill is that we can apply fertiliser at two different depths very precisely under the root of the plants.”

Hinrich Hornbostel – Germany

  • Farmer with arable farm and biogas plant
  • Specialised in energy crop production and the cultivation of potatoes
  • Focus 3 TD for seeding catch crops, but also for maize and cereals
  • „Because of the climate change we will increasingly get problems with drought or also with heavy rainfall. However, with the Focus, we are optimally prepared for all contingencies.“

Christoph Petzenhauser – Deutschland 

  • Contractor in Northern Baden-Württemberg 
  • Focus 4 TD for seeding rapeseed, but also catch crops and wheat 
  • “The HORSCH Focus convinced us as, due to the strip loosening at a depth of up to 35 cm, it maintains the soil structure and the water supply and at the same time removes harvest residues from the seed furrow.”

Thomas Madsen - Denmark 

  • Farm manager
  • Focus 6 TD for seeding wheat, barley, rapeseed, maize and grass 
  • “With the change seed bar of the HORSCH Focus, we can drill all our crops with the desired row spacings (15 cm, 30 cm), place the seed in an optimum way and thus create maximum yields.”
