HORSCH has announced a new model in the Avatar drill family with increased capacity and the ability to deliver up to four separate components.
The Avatar 12.25 LC comes as standard with a 9400-litre triple tank that is split 50:15:35. In addition, a HORSCH MiniDrill with a 400-litre capacity can also be mounted to the drill. Available as a 12m model only, the Avatar LC offers a 3000 litre increase over the 12m Avatar SD.
The seed wagon layout increases the drilling window with the large tyre widths reducing compaction even in wet soil conditions. The double support wheels at the wings ensure low tracks and optimum adaption to the soil. With its 1-row design of SingleDisc coulters and a row spacing of 25cm, the Avatar 12.25 LC is ideal for mechanical population control and for different sowing methods, such as direct seed, mulch seed and into standing catch crops.
Thanks to the well-proven folding design, the transport dimensions are very compact with an outside width of 3 metres for road transport.
Avatar family
The Avatar is the direct drilling expert that is flexible, robust and precise. It can be used universally from direct drilling to cultivated soils. The high coulter pressure of up to 350 kg per individual row and maintenance-free bearings ensure a reliable and effective performance. Depth control at the individual coulter and adjustable closing wheels result in precision drilling in a wide range of conditions.
The Avatar SD is available from 3m to 8m working widths with a 16cm row spacing, and 8m to 18m with a 25cm row spacing. The Avatar SL is a 6m mounted model with 25cm or 30cm row spacing that operates in combination with the HORSCH Partner FT front tank.
