HORSCH has developed a family of disc and tine mounted drills that can be combined with its Partner FT front tank to offer a highly flexible seeding system for all crops and conditions. The Partner FT can be combined with seed drills, used with tillage equipment for deep fertilisation, and used in regenerative farming. Combining the drill with a Partner FT front tank optimises the weight distribution of the tractor and seeding rig.

Partner FT front tank

Available in a range of sizes from 1700 litres to 2500 litres, and single-, double- and triple-tank configurations, the Partner FT provides farmers with even greater flexibility when applying one or more components. It is now equipped with the new I-Manager operating system, which has impressed customers in the Pronto, Versa and Avatar lines. New packer options distribute the weight at the front of the tractor to reduce tracks and minimise soil compaction.

The HORSCH Partner support kit for pneumatic piping is available for existing front hoppers and compatible with the new models. There is an option of an adjustable attachment arm that can be positioned for height and attachment angle depending on the tractor. The new HORSCH quick couplers offer time-saving, tool-free operation when coupling the pneumatic hoses of the mounted implements to the front tank.

Versa SL

The Versa SL can be paired with the Partner FT front tank to create a compact, flexible, and productive combination. The 3m-7m Versa SL mounted drills feature the well-known Kredo rotary harrow for intensive seedbed preparation and fertiliser application to give crops the best start.

The power harrow is equipped with 10 rotors per 3m working width and is designed for maximum stability even on stony soils. Drag tines or tines on grip can be easily exchanged using the quick-change tine system. The latest generation of TurboDisc double-disc coulters ensure accurate seed placement and even emergence. The Versa SL is available with a wide range of packers including some of the largest available.
