Horsch makes a variety of harrows, cultivators and seeders for the agricultural market, creating technology-driven and innovative products for medium- and large-scale operations.
Read More (Horsch)Second-hand Horsch equipment is widely available thanks to the popularity of this manufacturer. And there are different models to choose from within its ranges, each of which could make a good choice for the right buyer. In terms of cultivators, the Terrano range from Horsch can handle everything from stubble cultivation to deep agitation and aeration. The standard Terrano FX is designed for universal use and thus possesses the ability to be used in almost any environment under whatever circumstances a farmer might face. To achieve this, it harnesses a compact design that is both robust enough to tackle unyielding earth and also manoeuvrable to improve overall efficiency and usability. Working widths of between three and six metres can be found on this range, with Horsch claiming that it requires little to no maintenance in most cases. This is a promising sign for anyone thinking of buying a second-hand Terrano model.
The Horsch Farm Machinery Range
Disc, tine and strip seed drills are all on offer from Horsch, so there really are models for all occasions and operations. The Sprinter ST is a tine seed drill which can be used for mulch sowing or direct seeding, depending on the needs of the user. Working widths of between three and eight metres are on offer for this model, and you need as little as 100hp to pull this assembly. A 3800-litre seed hopper provides plenty of room for the seeds, and this model is particularly well suited for use on stony land, where other seed drills may have problems. As the name suggests, this is a seed drill that can get the job done in as little time as possible, which is great for agricultural organisations that may only have a short window for sowing or limited resources to dedicate to this important process.
The larger of Horsch's disc harrow range includes the Joker RT, which is suitable for improving the quality of fine soil and consolidating the earth ahead of germination. The discs featured on this model are both hollow and serrated, meaning they can attack the soil and break it up quickly while minimising the likelihood of blockages. Meanwhile, packer rings at the rear ensure that the surface is kept clear even after the harrow has passed over it. Modern models can be specified to include hydraulic controls to adjust depth and keep the assembly level over uneven surfaces or while tackling inclines. And as with Horsch's other products, the Joker RT is a durable and piece of agricultural machinery that is easy to maintain.
