Farmers can combine the HORSCH Partner FT hoppers with its extensive range of mounted drills and implements to create flexible and versatile seeding systems.
The existing Partner FT line-up is joined by new models. A double-tank 1600 litre option now joins the existing single tank, there are new double-tank models with 1700 litre and 2100 litre capacities and a triple-tank model with 2500 litres. These are Partner 1.7 FT, 2.1 FT and 2.5 FT respectively and provide farmers with even greater flexibility when applying one or more components.
Combined with mounted drills
The Partner FT can be combined with seed drills, used for tillage for deep fertilisation, in hybrid farming with Transformer VF or a Cura ST or in combination with a Finer SL. Combining the drill with a Partner FT front tank optimises the weight distribution of the tractor and seeding rig.
Farmers can have several mounted drills to create a highly flexible system. The 6m Avatar 6.25 SL and Sprinter 6 SL offer direct and min-till seeding, the multi-talented Taro 6 SL and the Express KR for an intensive seedbed preparation. The single-grain Maestro RV and RX models feature an 8-row mounted unit with one seed tank per row. The Finer SL excels at shallow weed control and adding the seeding kit easily converts it to an excellent wet weather drill.
New generation
The Partner FT is now equipped with the new I-Manager operating system, which has impressed the customers in the Pronto, Versa and Avatar lines.
New packer options distribute the weight on the front of the tractor to reduce tracks and minimise soil compaction.
The HORSCH Partner support kit for pneumatic piping is available for the existing front hoppers and is compatible with the new models. The kit consists 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.
In 2024, HORSCH started a small pre-series with the new Partners. In 2025, the new lines will be available in addition to the existing front tanks.
