Avatar 8 - 12 SD

• Individual depth control by means of depth control wheel
• Single disc coulter with seed skid
• Ideal for direct seed, mulch seed and after conventional tillage
• Outstanding for stony, very heavy and clayey soils
• Coulter pressure up to 350 kg
• Maintenance free

The individually depth controlled SingleDisc coulter has specially been designed for the Avatar line. Due to its individuality and flexibility, it can be adapted to the most different sowing conditions:

• Direct seed
• Mulch seed
• Conventional tillage
• In standing catch crops
• On stony and very heavy clayey soils

The interaction of single disc coulter and seed skid ensures a safe opening of the furrow. At the same time, harvest residues are removed from the furrow. The result is an optimum contact of seed and soil for quick and safe emergence.
Via the rubber torsion suspension a coulter pressure of up to 350 kg per coulter can be transferred. The coulter pressure can be adjusted mechanically or electrically via the terminal. All pivot points and connections at the coulter are maintenance-free.
The durable, maintenance-free bearings on all rotating parts guarantee a long service life and operational reliability. The seed skid is equipped with a carbide wear edge for a long service life. It can even be further protected with the HM+ version. The stable depth control wheels guarantee a precise depth control of the coulter in changing or difficult soils. This is due to different, co-ordinated adjustments of the seed coulter and optional equipments. Due to the lateral angel of 6° and a vertical angle of 3°of the single disc coulter, the seed is placed diagonally below the surface. Depending on the conditions, you can choose between a Uniformer and a catching roller.

• Double hopper with 6 300 l capacity and 60:40 partition
• Triple tank with 6 400 l capacity and 30:10:60 partition
• Optional: MiniDrill with 400 l capacity

With the Avatar 8 to 12 SD you can choose between a double hopper (60:40) with a capacity of 6 300 l and the triple tank with a partition of 30:10:60 with a capacity of 6 400 l. As an option, a MiniDrill with a capacity of 400 l can be mounted, thus allowing for applying up to four components. Thus, everyone can choose the perfect hopper combination for their requirements. The advantage of the multi- hopper system is that fine seeds and coarse seeds can be transported separately and no separation takes place.

Application example for a triple tank: If two different fertiliser components are to be applied to the seed, no mixed fertiliser is required and the desired quantity of the components can be selected freely. There is also the option to transport two seeds separately. The mixing ratio can be adjusted more easily than in pre-mixed seed. Up to four hoppers ensure maximum flexibility: Various fertilisers, several seeds and micro-granular compounds can be applied simultaneously.

• Optimum control of the wing
• Stabilises the respective half-width
• As an option the 8-10 SD can be equipped with a double support wheels
• Double support wheels for very light soils

Support wheels guide the wings of the drill at the set depth. Depending on the soil, it might make sense to use a double support wheel. The individual support wheels of the models 8 - 10 SD are standard equipment. As an option, two support wheels per wing can be configured. The 12 SD is equipped with double support wheels as standard.

• MiniDrill G&F capacity: 400 l
• Increases the efficiency of the machine and, depending on the hopper, acts a third or fourth component

The capacity of the MiniDrill G&F capacity amounts to 400 l. It increases the efficiency of the machine and acts as a third or fourth component.

• Safe placement of the seed
• Ideal in dry soils
• Remove the catching roller in wet conditions
• Due to the parking position, the catching roller can be lifted

Due to the catching roller, the seed is placed perfectly in the seed furrow to create a connection to capillarity. When sowing in very wet conditions, the catching roller can be set to the parking position with one simple step. Thus, it is possible to continue sowing in wet conditions. If working in wet conditions for a longer time, it makes sense to replace the catching roller with the uniformer.

• Perfect for microgranular compounds and fine seeds
• Seed rates of 1.5 kg/ha to 60 kg/ha
• Can be used in every machine with a pressurised hopper
• Fine metering insert kit includes:
  • A drive shaft with four possible drive pinions
  • Three rotors with different sizes
  • Individual spacers depending on the drive shaft

The HORSCH fine metering insert kit for standard metering devices for a precise application of microgranular compounds and fine seeds. The fine seed kits consists of the following components:

• A drive shaft with four possible drive pinions
• Three rotors with different sizes
• Individual spacers depending on the drive shaft

Due to the possibility to replace the drive rotors of the drive shaft by spacers and to select rotors of different sizes, you can meter between 1.5 kg/ha and 60 kg/ha (depending on the operational speed, working width and half-width options). The simplicity and flexibility of the components open up new possibilities for every HORSCH machine with a pressurised hopper. Whether Partner, MiniDrill, Pronto, Focus – the kits are compatible with all machines.
