EFFICIENT TINE SEED DRILL FOR NO-TILL FARMING
The Sprinter NT in 12 m to 18 m working width stands for maximum efficiency. The HORSCH NT chisel coulter sowing technology allows for a high amount of fine earth in the seed row and for the placement of the seed in a so-called “open furrow”.
The seed coulter forms a furrow and removes lumps and organic material from the seed horizon. The seed is placed into this furrow and fixed in the wet soil by the press wheel. Thus, very good emergence is achieved even under extreme climatic conditions. Sowing is possible into cultivated as well as into uncultivated soil. The seed drill is ideal for no-till farming.
The Sprinter 24 NT achieves maximum efficiency due to its working width and the corresponding seed hopper SW 17000 SD with a hopper capacity of 17 000 litre.
A NEW CHAPTER IN NO-TILL FARMING
HORSCH have never lost sight of the products that for 30 years have been forming its reputation: the first Seed-Exactors left a permanent impression. If you go back to the beginning of the company, Michael Horsch at that time built a machine that was suitable for no-till farming.
The arguments at that time: disturb the soil as little as possible, encourage biodiversity and, of course, in the context of decreasing prices, save costs. Due to the opening of the eastern markets in the Nineties there suddenly was a large market for no-till farming equipment. However the pto-shaft driven technology could not be used for the large fields in the East.
The Joker is ideally suited for shallow stubble cultivation to stimulate the germination of volunteer crops, to interrupt capillarity, to mix in harvest residues and for a shallow seed bed preparation. It produces a high ratio of fine soil in the germination horizon and is resistant to high amounts of straw, organic fertilizers or catch crops.
The compact disc harrow Joker CT is available for 3-point linkage. Operational speeds up to 20 km/h allow for a high hectare output.
