HORSCH ATP Control for an intelligent and automatic control of the tyre pressure in the plant protection sector

A new level of precision in single grain row management. At the Agritechnica 2017 the new SectionControl distribution tower RowControl with single-row shut off for universal seed drills like the Pronto or the Express line will be presented.

The new trailed fine cultivator HORSCH Cruiser 5 and 6 XL fills the gap between the 3-point linkage mounted models and the 10- and 12-metre-wide trailed versions.

The HORSCH Leeb GS is one of the few plant protection sprayers that has been sustaining its market position for already quite a long time. Among other things, this is also due to the well-proven concept of the stainless steel tank and the award-winning boom control system BoomControl Pro.

At the Agritechnica HORSCH will present the new Terrano GX. The working widths range from 4 to 6 metre. It will be available as a 3- or 4-bar version with a tine spacing between 28.5 and 31.5 cm and thus combines the requirements of the customers. The Terrano is equipped with the TerraGrip tines of the third generation.

Now available in 5m, 6m, 8m, 10m and 12m models, the popular HORSCH Joker RT cultivator will be in action at the Tillage-Live event. The highly flexible machine can be used on stubble and ploughed land thanks to a hydraulically operated levelling board. The board comprises a row of levelling paddles at the leading edge of the RT’s frame and adds greater flexibility to the machine.

HORSCH has revealed its advanced coulter control system, AutoForce, for its Maestro maize drills that automatically adjusts coulter pressure to varying soil conditions. The Maestro’s 300kg per row unit coulter pressure is the highest in the industry, ideal for heavy land but can cause too much compaction when moving into lighter soils. AutoForce prevents this compaction and its development follows HORSCH’s own extensive trials.

HORSCH UK is partnering with two CLAAS UK dealership groups, MANNS & KIRBY and CLAAS Southern, to provide its full range of cultivators, drills and sprayers to farmers across East Anglia and the South East. From 1st January 2017, HORSCH equipment will be available through the two dealership groups.

The new mounted Maestro from HORSCH is the ideal drill for farming operations that desire the precision of the Maestro but do not need capacity of its trailed CC and SW stablemates. The Maestro range features pneumatic single grain technology, developed in-house by Horsch, to offer speed and precision control allowing the Maestro to be used for maize, soy, sunflowers, sugarbeet and rapeseed at high speed.

The Express KR is now available as a Grain & Fertiliser version with pressurised grain and fertiliser tanks. The hopper capacity is increased to 2,000 litres enabling one tonne of seed and one tonne of fertiliser to fit easily. With this new addition, it makes Horsch is the only brand in the UK to offer grain and fertiliser application on every drill model. 

HORSCH has added a 6000 litre model to its Leeb LT range following strong customer demand. Joining the 4000 and 5000 litre variants, the Leeb 6 LT trailed sprayers features a taller tank but retains the same wheelbase for manoeuvrability.
