3 Milestone of Agricultural Engineering Farming without a plough During the 30-year-old company tradition HORSCH like no other manufacturer contributed to the breakthrough of tillage without a plough. In 2013, these efforts were awarded with the Milestone of Agricultural Engineering award. A lot of products, e.g. the Terrano, Tiger and Joker models and last but not least the universal seed drill Pronto DC, allow for farming without a plough on the highest level. Experience the InnoFalcon live According to the Federal Statistical Office by now 40 per cent of the arable land is cultivated without a plough. For wheat it amounts to even 60 per cent. 20 years ago no-one dared to believe that. HORSCH played an important part in getting this far. With this background other milestones in agricultural engineering will be developed.

4 6 Farming with passion There is no success without passion. When we thought about a perfectly fitting slogan for Horsch, we very quickly agreed on Farming with passion. Because passion can be found in every Horsch product and motivates the actions of every single Horsch employee. From management board to service technician, everyone in the company lives the passion that turns a simple product into a unique one that excels due to innovations and uncompromising quality. We are and have always been farmers who concentrate intensively on an effective cultivation of the soil say Michael and Philipp Horsch. There is a future for farming and it is worth working hard for it, for the farmer as well as for the producer of agricultural equipment. Each time the farmer looks into the rear mirror of his tractor and sees a red machine he should know that he has gone for uncompromising quality.

5 8 Convincing performance Simpler, safer, faster. What is so special about a Horsch machine? It always meets the criteria faster, simpler, safer. The operation of a machine has to be simpler compared to another machine. It has to work safely and do a quality job as our cultivators do and guarantee a good germination as with our seed drills. Last but not least, the work the farmer wants to carry out with the machine has to be done faster than before. Only if a machine fulfills all these criteria and, moreover, is innovative and of uncompromising quality, Horsch decides to build this machine. The structural changing in agriculture advances quickly and also presents the sector of agricultural machinery with new tasks. Optimising the methods of tillage, sowing and plant protection as well as reducing costs and working more efficiently these are the requirements, while at the same time increasing yields and improving the quality of the harvested crops. The machines in this product overview are designed to help you to achieve these aims.

7 12 Research for the future The Agritechnica Innovation Medals of the DLG are the most important awards worldwide for trendsetting innovations in agricultural engineering. In 2013, Horsch gets two silver medals for its innovations. Horsch is the first manufacturer of agricultural machinery to present a solution how to single cereals at a high operational speed. The new metering technology is used with Horsch seed drills that are equipped with TurboDisc coulters for sowing like a Pronto DC or a Focus TD. The seed is supplied from a central hopper by means of a central volume metering unit. This pre-metered seed is pneumatically conveyed and transported to the respective seed row. As far as the coulter the seed supply is carried out in a completely conventional way without any modifications at the standard seed drill. Only a new TurboDisc coulter body including a mounted metering unit is necessary for singling and placing in the soil. This coulter body has been designed to achieve high singling accuracy. This is important to keep up the output of the present seed drills with an operational speed of 10 to 12 km/h. The new single grain metering unit is able to meter cereals in single grain quality up to a frequency of 120 Hz. 120 Hz corresponds to 120 grains/sec. and thus to a seed quantity of 240 grains/m2 at a speed of 12 km/h with a row spacing of 15 cm. The patented singling system in practice allows for COV values from 30 to 50 % and thus comes close to the traditional single grain seed drills.

8 Research for the future HORSCH revolutionises boom control in plant protection and allows for an exact and secure control of the spraying boom above the crop. This, too, was awarded with an Agritechnica silver medal. This kind of active BoomControl is unique and patented and the essential basis of an application with a low distance to the target area. As the boom has been separated from the chassis, an exact adaption of the boom to the field contour is possible for the first time. Due to this decoupling the rolling motions of the carrier vehicle are not transmitted to the boom. The adjustment speed of the contour adaption is very high even in most difficult conditions. This is the reason why an application with fine droplets and a low risk of drift has become possible. Disturbing influences like wind and thermal, thus, can be minimised. Operational speeds of 30 km/h in the field with a distance to the target area of 30 m are no problem for the new BoomControl system even in extremely hilly areas and in difficult conditions.

9 16 Joker Precise and quick stubble cultivation 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 disc harrow is available as Joker CT for three-point attachment and as Joker RT with its own chassis in larger working widths. High hectares output is possible due to high working speeds up to 20 km/h. A 1-bar deep loosener Mono TG is available as an additional option for the Joker 3 CT. It is particularly suitable for the use on heavy sites where the soil has to be loosened deeply and the harvest residues, however, only have to be mixed in in a shallow way.

18 34 Terrano FM Heavy universal cultivator Terrano MT Shallow mixing deep loosening The Terrano FM can be used for shallow as well as for deep cultivation. Due to its 4-bar design it mixes intensively, whereas the power demand remains low due to a tine spacing of 28 cm. It has a high clearance to allow for clogging-free working even if there are large quantities of harvest residues. It is equipped with TerraGrip tines of the second generation they are maintenance-free and stand for exact coulter control due to high release forces of 570 kg for the Terrano FM. The middle chassis of the Terrano FM allows for tight turning on the headlands and for an excellent roadability. Under for example wet conditions the chassis can be used additionally for depth control. The following packers are available: RollFlex, FarmFlex and SteelDisc packer or the new double RollFlex packer. The latter guarantees a very good and even consolidation even under most difficult conditions (e. g. many stones) due to new spring elements and a reinforced design. The Terrano MT has been specially designed for the following range of use: mixing on the top, loosening at the bottom. The cultivator disposes of a middle chassis and a 4-bar design. A disc harrow is situated in first two rows followed by two rows of TerraGrip tines with narrow LD (low disturbance) coulters. The Terrano MT is particularly suitable for cultivating heavy soils that have to be loosened deeply, but where harvest residues can only be mixed in in a shallow way to prevent rough soil from being transported to the surface. The 2-row DiscSystem allows for a shallow and intensively mixing cultivation and a clogging-free working even if there are difficult residues and high quantities of straw. The DiscSystem is followed by a 2-bar tine system. The power demand for this system is low. It allows for an intensive loosening down to a depth of 30 cm and it runs below the disc harrow horizon. The packer that is used is a Horsch SteelDisc packer with a diametre of 58 cm and a weight of 175 kg/m working width for maximum consolidation.

20 Partner HT / FT Controlled incorporation of fertiliser while cultivating With the rear and front hoppers Partner HT/FT Horsch offers a system that allows for placing fertiliser in a controlled way while cultivation. The system completes the StripTill system known from the Focus TD to be able to offer an optimum solution for all situations. It also marks a simple entry into the sector of targeted fertilisation. Moreover, targeted fertilisation increases efficiency and compared to conventional fertilisation saves costs. Especially with regard to phosphate the system helps to improve fertiliser efficiency. The exactly placed fertiliser is immediately available to the plant and remains available for a long time. Depending on the chosen setting at the distributor of the cultivator coulter fertiliser can be placed shallowly, deeply or 50:50. Thus, it is possible to fertilise the lower topsoil area additionally. The Horsch rear hopper Partner HT in combination with the cultivators Terrano FM/MT and the trailed version of the Terrano FX is equipped with 2 chambers with a capacity of 2,800 litres and a 70/30 partition (pressurised hopper). This allows for metering 2 different fertiliser components independently and thus for adapting perfectly to the soil supply of the site. However, it can also be used for placing fertliser and seed (especially catch crops resp. rape). It is possible to mount the rear hopper to an already existing cultivator. The Horsch front hopper Partner FT in combination with the universal cultivator Terrano FX has a hopper capacity of 1,800 litres. This hopper, too, can be mounted to an already existing Terrano FX to incorporate fertiliser. The technology for sensors, metering rotors and the electric motor of the hopper system is based on the Pronto DC. The design of the Partner HT allows for tight turning on the headlands. The tractor is linked via a three-point TerraGrip tine with piping and adjustment of the placement depth of the fertiliser depot without tools Terrano FM with distribution tower and piping for fertiliser placement

29 56 Pronto NT Disc seed drill for large farms designed for no-till farming The Pronto NT is a compact universal seed drill with the Pronto system (cultivating, sowing and pressing) for mulch or no-till farming. Especially in no-till conditions the tool combination of ondulated coulter/cutting disc and the well-proven TurboDisc coulter has important advantages. Only that area of the soil is cultivated where then the seed will be placed. The Horsch TurboDisc coulters efficiently adjust to uneven soils, guarantee high coulter pressure and a precise seed placement. There are two different types of PPF system available to spread fertilizer. The fertilizer can either be placed together with the seed by the TurboDisc coulters or between the seed rows by fertilizer discs the depth of which can be adjusted separately (optional equipment). The direct connection of seed waggon and seed unit results in a high coulter pressure at the cutting discs and the fertilizer coulter without using any additional ballast weight. The advantages of the Pronto NT at one glance: top-efficiency for large farms optimised for no-till farming low power demand the soil is only cultivated in that area where the seed will be placed lower power demand due to ondulated coulters/cutting discs as previous tools TurboDisc seed coulters for precise seed placement seed waggon with a capacity of 12,000 litre (partition 50/50 seed/fertilizer) manoeuvrable machine due to compact design low power demand due to low dead weight High efficiency due to large hopper and large feed openings Even difficult no-till conditions do not cause any problems The ondulated coulters cultivate the soil efficiently and the power demand is low

31 60 Focus TD Strip tillage the concept of the future Topics like erosion prevention, yield stability and cost saving are getting more and more important. Numerous institutes have already been testing for several years. The results are unambiguous: conventional tillage with a plough is prone to erosion. Conservation tillage reduces it considerably and strip cultivation with the Horsch Focus is on the same level as no-till farming, but with an increased yield stability. Already since 2001, HORSCH has been concentrating on tillage for row cropping. The Focus only cultivates those areas where the crop plant will be situated later. The Focus TD, a combination of the Focus and the Pronto sowing technology, is the consistent further development of this Striptill cultivation system. It loosens the soil in strips, removes harvest residues from the seed and root area and sets up a fertilizer deposit before the tyre packer prepares the subsequent sowing (17.5 cm or 35 cm row spacing) with the TurboDisc seed coulters. The advantages of the Focus at one glance: Universal: after plough as well as for mulch or no-till farming Cost saving with low power demand only that area of the soil is cultivated where the seed will be placed Efficient and targeted fertilization for an optimum plant development Pronto principle: Cultivation, fertilization, consolidation, sowing and pressing in one single pass TurboDisc seed coulters for precise seed placement TerraGrip tines with LD (low disturbance) coulters for strip cultivation Depth of the fertilizer deposit is variable Even under difficult climatic conditions the Focus TD guarantees a good emergence and an optimum development of the plant. LD coulters cultivate the soil and set up an exactly placed fertilizer deposit. The TurboDisc seed coulters place the seed into a lump- and residue-free soil.

33 64 Express TD Pronto technology for three-point attachment The Express TD is a compact 3-point seed drill for farms that could not use a Pronto DC or a Sprinter ST to its full capacity. The range of use is universal (after plough, mulch or direct sowing) and it benefits from all advantages of the Pronto system: cultivating, consolidating, sowing, pressing-down all in one pass. The hopper has a capacity of litres. A disc system for seedbed preparation and levelling is placed below the hopper. It corresponds to the Pronto DiscSystem. The DiscSystem is followed by an all-over packer with wave profile that prepares an optimum seedbed for the seed coulters. The TurboDisc seed coulters are able to follow the soil surface precisely due to their high adaptability (up to 15 cm). Thus, all grains are placed exactly and regularly at the adjusted depth. Four rubber dampers per coulter transmit a coulter pressure of up to 120 kg and guarantee a smooth running of the coulter even at high speeds. An exact depth control is made by the press wheels that guarantee an optimum seed-soil contact. Precise sowing with the Express TD and Horsch TurboDisc coulters that are also used in the Pronto.

37 72 Sprinter NT Efficient tine seed drill for no-till farming The Sprinter NT with 15 and 24 metre 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 unter 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 SD with a hopper capacity of 17,000 litre. The 15 metre wide version has some particular characteristics: Seed waggon and seed unit are a more compact unit. Moreover, the Sprinter 15 NT is equipped with a slightly smaller seed waggon with a capacity of 12,000 litre. The advantages of the Sprinters at one glance: optimal seed drill for no-till farming perfect for professional large farms seed horizon is free from straw and lumps sowing into the open furrow.

39 76 Maestro The future of pneumatic single grain seed drills. fast precise multifunctional. MACHINE OF THE YEAR 2012 The mechanical Maistro CC and RC line is extended by the new pneumatic Maestro CC and SW. Due to its exact grain singling it is universally suitable for maize, soy, sunflowers and sugarbeet. The patented Maestro single grain technology particularly excels due to three features: the unique metering system, the extremely small single grain metering unit and the placement quality control. The metering system is based on a completely new metering disc. It does not have the usual holes, but grooves that open up to the outside. Thus, together with the new scraper, the singling results achieved in a large frequency range from 0 to 30 Hz are excellent. 30 Hz correspond to a working speed of 15 km/h for the usual 90,000 grains of maize per hectare. The crucial factor for these results is the smooth transition of the grains from a circular to a linear movement in the placement area. There are no disturbing centrifugal forces in the fall sluice. This extraordinary accuracy depends on the rotational frequency of the metering disc and is exactly controlled by sensors. The software in the Isobus terminal is set up in such a way that the driver can clearly see the exact missing and double spots as well as the variation coefficient for every single row. Thus, the driver can respond any time to the most different conditions like seed or seedbed quality and use the machine to its full capacity. The feeding of the metering device is either made via individual containers (Maestro CC) or via a central fertilizer/seed hopper at the seed waggon (Maestro SW) by means of a Seed On Demand system. The Maestro CC is equipped with a seed waggon with a capacity of 2,800 litre for fertilizer and the capacity of the seed containers is 70 litre each. Due to the low power demand a 100 HP tractor is sufficient to pull the efficient machine. The Maestro SW is available with 12 and 24 seed rows with row spacings of 70 or 75 cm. The capacity of the seed waggon is 2,000 litre for seed and 7,000 litre for fertilizer. Some small details of the robust and well-proven single grain seed units have been up-graded for the Maestro. All rolling tools at the parallelogram-controlled units like trash devices, coulters, depth control and press wheels have been equipped with new solid bearings. The coulter pressure of up to 300 kg can be adjusted hydraulically to any condition. Robust and precise the Horsch single grain seed body here in the Seed on Demand version High speeds up to 12 km/h are no problem for the Maestro not only under test conditions, but also for the practical use in the field The new pneumatic singling is absolutely precise.

45 88 Leeb GS Trailed professional sprayers The trailed professional sprayer Leeb GS is now available with a tank capacity ranging from 6,000, 7,000 to 8,000 litres. Moreover, the sprayer has been completed with new intelligent and userfriendly features. The one-axle sprayer has a very compact design, is extremely manoeuvrable and is equipped with air suspension. As usual HORSCH does not compromise with regard to the tank. Like for all Leeb machines the tanks of the whole GS range are made of stainless steel, thus allowing for easy cleaning and residue-free inside walls. The pump and the distribution system have been arranged in such a way that the hose lengths are reduced to a minimum and thus, there is only a very small amount of residual liquids. The induction hopper has been optimised even further to guarantee a safe and quick jetting of compounds. In the suction area of the Leeb GS there is a large three-inch pipework to allow for a quick filling. The spraying pump is a three-inch rotary pump with a maximum output of 1000 l/min which is widely maintenance-free. The patented boom suspension is a parallelogram. It is hydraulically spring-loaded and damped and thus guarantees a soft and smooth boom position. Available as an option, the electronic control system BoomControl guarantees an exact control of the boom. Thus the boom can be kept very close to the target area even at high speeds and on hilly sites. The hydraulically proportional control allows for smooth movements which guide the boom sleeplessly depending on the deviation. The middle part of the boom and the outer wings are controled independently. The boom itself is available in nine different configurations and widths. Due to the pneumatic individual nozzle control the spraying line can be equipped with a large variety of nozzle body combinations ranging from single nozzle bodies with a horizontal spacing of 50 cm via double nozzle bodies with a horizontal spacing of 25 cm to a quadruple nozzle body with intermediate nozzles. With an optional nozzle spacing of 25 cm the distance to the target area and the drift can be reduced to a minimum. The pneumatic nozzle control allows for individual, intelligent application technology for an excellent wetting and penetration of the crop. After having finished spraying the inside cleaning system CCS (Continuous Cleaning System) (standard equipment) allows for a safe and quick cleaning of the sprayer. First of all the line system can be discharged by blowing it out with compressed air. An additional piston diaphragm pump pumps clean water into the tank via rotation nozzles. Due to the continuous flushing of the container with clean water while the spraying pump constantly sucks and takes out the flushing water the cleaning of the tank and the spraying lines is very efficient and time-saving. The cleaning can be operated completely and comfortably from the tractor cabin. GS when the barrel is full, a transport speed of 40 hp/h is possible Due to BoomControl the boom keeps up a low distance to the population even on hilly sites. GS Machine of the Year 2009

47 92 Titan UW A new dimension of efficiency The new Horsch auger wagon Titan UW stands for harvest efficiency in a new dimension. It has inherited the genes of the first Horsch auger waggons and raises them to a completely new technical level. Due to the large hopper capacity of 34 m³ idle times on the field boundaries and awkward manoeuvring are part of the past. The hopper capacity of the UW corresponds to one truckload. A truck is thus filled at one go. The output of the newly designed hydraulically foldable auger conveyor (ø 600 mm) is 18 tons per minute. Thus, 34 m³ are reloaded in only 90 seconds. The Titan 34 UW has a telescopic axle as standard equipment. It moves every tyre to the outside by 30 cm. This increases the width of the machine from 3,00 to 3,56 m. Thus, stability is increased and soil pressure reduced as the tyres of the auger waggon do not run in the tractor tracks. Another soil-saving means are the large-dimensioned tyres (900/60 R32). Moreover, there are an integrated weighing system, a pneumatic (and hydraulic) brake system and a clearly visible display of the opening situation of the auger conveyor slider. Due to the Titan 34 UW s hopper capacity of 34 m³ idle times on the field boundaries and awkward manoeuvring are part of the past. Hydraulically foldable auger conveyor with an output of 18 tons per minute. Due to the telescopic axle, stability is increased and soil pressure reduced.

48 94 Titan UW Technical specifications MATTHIAS RIETSCH Betriebsgemeinschaft Schackenthal KG: We succeeded in using the new Horsch Auger Waggon to its full capacity. With our two large combines (60t/h) we were able to bring 100 tons of cereals to the field boundaries for further transport in one hour with only 4 trips. In our opinion this is due to the low horse power requirement and the enormous output of the auger conveyor.
