Horsch has upgraded the Express KR drill, which was launched at the beginning of 2015, with new working widths and a new simple and safe calibration system.
The Express KR is the first pneumatic Horsch three-point seed drill with an active tillage tool: the integrated rotary harrow Kredo. The machine now is also available in 3.5m and 4m (rigid) working widths. A special feature is the new calibration mechanism. To carry out the calibration test you do not have to put your hand inside the Express KR. You can stand behind the machine and push the calibration bag with the integrated mechanism under the calibration flap. The mechanism opens and closes the flap.
Even under difficult conditions the Express KR allows for an intensive seedbed preparation. The rotary harrow Kredo has 10 rotors on the 3m working width. Its strong design is ideal even on stony soils. With quick-change tines, it can be equipped with standard tines, carbide tines or tines on grib. The fine adjustment of the working depth of the rotary harrow is easily accessible from the outside and is clearly visible.
The frame of the Express KR is designed in such a way that the setting of the rotary harrow does not influence the sowing depth. The TurboDisc seed coulters (second generation) can be lifed hydraulically. Thus the rotary harrow can also work solo. The drill unit can be uncoupled easily from the rotary harrow via only four fixing points, to allow the Kredo to be used separately.
There are two packers available for the Express KR. The tooth packer roller with a large diameter of 64cm is ideal for all conditions. The load carrying capacity is very good even on light soils which influences the horse power requirement and the diesel consumption in a positive way. The trapeze ring packer has a diameter of 50cm for a target strip consolidation in front of every seed coulter. It forms a perfect seed furrow even under heavy and sticky soil conditions.
