Versa SW

• Long service life due to solid and massive gear unit
• Tines can be changed without any tools
• 10 rotors for maximum clearance for 3 m working width
• Actively driven seedbed preparation for different requirements
• Targeted control of the cultivation intensity in the seedbed by adapting the working speed and the rotational speed of the rotary harrow (standard 244 or 306 rpm)
• Solid and massive gear unit and drive for highest stresses in the field
• Targeted control of down time and work effect: Tines are arranged as drag tines for seedbed preparation on intensely cultivated sites:
  • Standard tine
  • HM tine (reinforced for long service life)
  • HM+ tine (maximum wear protection with carbide technology from the cultivator sector)
• Tine on grip for aggressive cultivation of solid soils

PTO-shaft driven tillage with the rotary harrow Kredo allows for an intensive seedbed preparation even in difficult conditions. The rotary harrow Kredo has 10 rotors on 3 m working width. Its robust design is ideal even on stony soils. With quick-change tines, it can be equipped with drag or grip tines. Tines with carbide coating are available to ensure a long service life. The well-proven coating technology from the cultivator tine products is used. The finely graduated adjustment of the working depth for the rotary harrow is easily accessible from the outside and is clearly visible. The adjustment of the levelling bar, too, is very easy.

• Double disc coulter
• Creates a precise seed furrow
• Press wheel-controlled (5 cm or 7.5 cm wide)
• Uniformer prevents the grains from bouncing
• Inside scraper prevents blocking and clogging of the coulters
• Coulter pressure up to 125 kg via rubber torsion
• Designed for precise seed placement at high operational speeds
• Allows for an even and safe emergence

A perfect embedding of the seed and an immediate seed-soil contact are important for a safe and even emergence. HORSCH perfectly copes with the challenge to achieve this objective even at high operational speeds. The solution is called TurboDisc. The double disc coulter that has been used and constantly developed further by HORSCH for more than 20 years excels due to its precise seed placement. The press wheel-controlled coulter design allows for a quick following of the soil contours at high speeds. Thus, the set placement depth can be kept up for every single grain.

The double disc seed coulter with a maintenance-free bearing opens the soil and thus allows for an undisturbed seed placement. The integrated Uniformer ensures the fixing of the seed at the bottom of the seed furrow even at very high operational speeds. A carbide coated scraper keeps the space between the discs clean and thus prevents clogging even in sticky and wet conditions. The 5 cm or 7.5 cm wide press wheel then ensures an optimum seed-soil contact and an exact depth control.

In addition to the excellent following of the soil, the TurboDisc seed bar excels due to the easy operation: with regard to their adjustment, coulter pressure and seed depth do not influence each other. The maintenance-free rubber bearings of the seed coulters transfer a coulter pressure of up to125 kg and thus guarantee a smooth coulter – up to an operational speed of 20 km/h. Furthermore, the rubber bearing serves as an overload protection and a shock absorber for stones.

• Exact application
• Optimum seed distribution
• HORSCH rotor selection – find the optimum rotor for your machine quickly and easily
• Depending on the components, seed rate and operational speed, various options can be selected
• Easily accessible
• Rotor shafts can be replaced without any tools

HORSCH rotors stand for utmost flexibility with regard to the application of different components. Depending on seed rate and operational speed when sowing, there are different rotors to choose from. For machines with double drop tube and two seed towers, only rotors with two spacing discs or, depending on the metering system, double rotors may be used to guarantee the half-width shut-off as well as a precise seed distribution.

The HORSCH metering system ensures a precise maintenance of the adjusted seed rate and an optimum seed distribution across the whole working width of the pneumatic seed drill.

The rotor selection programe allows for finding the appropriate rotor quickly and easily. All specifications are reference values that depend on the adjustment and the machine. We always recommend a calibration test before sowing.

If a non-optimal rotor has been installed, the valves above the metering devices will help. A valve above the metering device is installed as standard in the single hopper injector machines. The valves for machines with a pressurised hopper are inside the integrated toolbox and can be inserted without any tools if required. This allows for a fast replacement of the rotor even if the hopper is full without losing any seed.

• Ideal in changing conditions
• For a targeted consolidation in front of every seed row
• In wet conditions, scrapers clean the packer roller

The trapeze ring packer has a diameter of 50 cm for heavy soils with a targeted consolidation or 60 cm for changing soils from light to heavy with high requirements for load-carrying capacity. It forms a perfect seed furrow even in heavy and cohesive conditions.

• The side wings reduce deep tracks due to an optimum weight transfer of the Versa SW across the entire working width.
• They always correspond to the preselected tyre options like the wide seed cart tyres or double tyres with AS-profile.
• You can sow longer in wet soils due to the possible hydraulic weight transfer of the 3-point from up to 2 tons to the rotary harrow.

• Both components are metered separately and are transported together via the distribution tower or the distribution towers into the seed coulter.
• The G & F system double hopper system allows for simultaneously applying seed and fertiliser as contact fertilisation.
• The fertiliser is immediately available to the young plant and thus contributes to a quick early growth. This system should only be used in appropriate climatic conditions and with the assistance of a crop production consultant.
• Not only seed and fertiliser, but also 2 different seeds can be transported, metered and sown separately.

The G & F system double hopper system allows for simultaneously applying seed and fertiliser as contact fertilisation. Both metering devices meter into one common distribution tower. Seed and fertiliser are thus placed together in one furrow. The fertiliser is immediately available to the young plant and thus contributes to a quick early growth. This system should only be used in appropriate climatic conditions and with the assistance of a crop production consultant. Not only seed and fertiliser, but also 2 different seeds can be transported, metered and sown separately.

• Optimised pneumatic hosing for seeds with husks
• chamfered seed flow tubes prevent the husks from getting wedged
• Optional seed flow sensors support the prevention of gaps

Sowing spelt with husks always is a challenge for farmers. HORSCH developed a special pneumatic adaption for this crop which has been optimised over several years. To make sure that the spelt with husk does not wedge and cause blockings, all corners and edges in the pneumatic system are checked and rough edges are removed. For example, the seed tubes at the seed coulters are chamfered and the seed hoses are directly attached to the coulters with cable ties. The seed flow sensors that are recommended for sowing spelt are also chamfered. Thus, spelt can be transported smoothly through the pneumatics and gaps are prevented.
