Horsch will introduce a new generation of its MiniDrill at Agritechina 2015. These latest drill feature a lot of innovative solutions.
The hopper has a capacity of 400 litres of seed and is equipped with the well-proven metering unit of the company’s Pronto drill. The only difference is that the seed is injected directly into the distribution system. The fan, too, is a new Horsch development and very quiet. These features allow for a very compact design of the machine.
The MiniDrill is available for all Terrano FX three-point linkage mounted models (3m to 5m working width) and for all Joker CT (3m to 6m working width). Efficiency while sowing catch crops is considerable as only one pass is necessary for cultivation and sowing. Thus, the MiniDrill is an optimum solution for greening. It’s in this sector that the machines excels as it’s able to sow seed mixtures with different grain sizes without restrictions.
The diameter of the hopper opening is 380mm and a seed rate of up to 100kg/ha can be used depending on the working width. For an optimum cross distribution the MiniDrill till with 4m working width is equipped with six evenly distributed outlets in front of or behind the packer, and with 12 outlets if the working width of the cultivator is 5m or larger.
The seed is placed into the cultivated soil and thus guarantees an optimum use of any moist soil. The MiniDrill is operated via Isobus.
