As of 2020, some selected product lines of the HORSCH universal seed drills will be available with the new RowControl distribution tower . Due to the use of the individual row switch-off, overlapping and gaps, thus, will be a thing of the past. Seed, fertiliser and micro-granular compound will be saved. It will be possible to precisely sow non-sown strips without having to put up with overlapping and increased population density. Tramlines can be switched in every individual row. You no longer have to position the machine at the beginning of the field according to a certain pattern.
Due to its sophisticated seed and air guidance the HORSCH RowControl distribution tower can switch off individual rows without influencing the lateral distribution of the machine. In practical use it might make sense to combine individual rows to little groups. With the development of the RowControl distribution tower HORSCH consequently continues to increase precision while sowing.
The RowControl distribution tower is available for the following machines
- Express 3 KR
- Focus 6 TD
- Pronto 3 DC
- Pronto 4 DC
- Pronto 6 DC
- Serto 10 SC
- Serto 12 SC
