The Leeb AX:
CONSEQUENT EFFICIENCY
The basis
- Solidly designed frame made of fine-grained steel
- Solid drawbar linkage
- Upper or lower linkage can be selected freely by turning the drawbar
Drawbar steering – less track damages (optional)
- Drawbar steering with exact following in the tracks due to proportionate-hydraulic control and thus smooth boom position.
- High manoeuvrability and large steering angle
Large tyres – less ground pressure
- Wheels with diameter of up to 1.85 m
- Maximum contact area with perfectly adapted air pressure
Unparalleled BoomControl system
- Hydraulically spring-loaded and damped parallelogram suspension
- Soft and smooth boom position even in hilly terrain and at high speeds.
Modern plastic tank
- Compact tank design with extremely low centre of gravity
- Conical geometries for low surge forces
- 400 litre fresh water tank: enough water for a complete inside cleaning
- Large radii, absolutely smooth surfaces and no back tapers for easy cleaning.
- Deep sump area for complete discharge and minimum residual quantities even on slopes.
Two equipment versions
Basic
- Manual operation for the suction and pressure side
- Piston diaphram pump with 270 or 400 l/min, driven by a drive shaft
- Hydraulic agitator
Basic with ProfiClean system
- Manual operation for the suction and pressure side
- Controlled from the cabin for a continuous inside cleaning
- Piston diaphragm pump (270 l/min) driven by pto-shaft
- Additional hydraulic rotary pump
- Hydraulic agitator
Theodor Leeb
“User-friendly, reliable technology with the essential functions that a HORSCH sprayer is known for: that means no compromise with regard to the BoomControl.“
Leeb AX details
- Tank capacity: 3 800 litre
- Tank made of polyethylene (PE)
- Low gravity centre of the spraying barrel
- Optimised tank shape for transport and cleaning
- Optimised hose laying reduces hose lengths to a minimum
- Upper or lower linkage can be selected freely as it can changed by turning the drawbar
- Boom suspension in a parallelogram – hydraulically spring-loaded and damped
- Soft and smooth boom position even in hilly terrain and at high speeds
- The geometry of the parallelogram has been designed in such a way that the boom is kept close to the axle. Despite its light design, the suspension is extremely torsion-resistant and thus perfectly suitable for the automatic boom controlsystem Leeb BoomControl.
- Nozzles are protected against wind and mechanical damages
Due to the optional drawbar steering the steering angle does not depend on tyres and track
STRONG, CONVINCING ARGUMENTS
- User-friendly concept that is focused on the essential basics
- Central and clearly arranged layout of the control units
- Low drift due to automatic BoomControl and constant target area spacing even at high operational speeds
- Smooth boom position even in hilly terrain due to hydropneumatic boom damping
- Autarkic oil supply for high performance independant of the tractor
- Weight-reduced design for low horsepower requirement and low ground pressure
- Large tyres up to ø 1.85 m possible
- Low centre of gravity due to optimised frame design
- Compact external dimensions in transport position
- Pump capacity 270 l/min or 400 l/min
- Efficient induction hopper made of PE
- Basic with ProfiClean system for continuous inside cleaning
Track widths range from 1.50 to 2.25 m (depending on the tyres)
Autarkic hydraulic system at the AX for minimum demands on the tractor.
Standard, practical storage compartment directly at the induction tank
Several spacious storage compartments and shelves are available
Option
- Proportionate-hydraulically controlled drawbar steering
- Pneumatic nozzle control
- Individual section layout
- Boundary nozzle control
- SectionControl (automatic section control)
- NightLight: powerful LED spraying cone lighting
- Horizontal damping MotionControl
- Hose drum for outside cleaning
- Extension of BoomControl by 2 sensors
- Additional storage box
- Digital level indicator and automatic filling stop
- Autarkic hydraulic system
- Reduced spraying due to separate folding of the outside wings
- Hydraulically driven piston diagphram pump
