HORSCH has a 40-years track record of precision and versatility, specializing in advanced seeding and planting equipment, as well as tillage and crop protection machinery.
The Horsch Avatar 60 MD is an integral fill single disk drill that establishes a new industry benchmark. With a 60-foot working width and innovative features like multiple product capacities, a three-tank design, precise seed placement based on agronomic principles, and a low-maintenance opener system, it redefines efficiency and performance in agricultural operations.
Electrically driven meters allow rates from 350 lbs per acre down to 1.5 lbs. Calibration proves this meter’s precision, and its simplified function uses the HORSCH-CONNECT phone app. The low disturbance, No-Till single disc elements have a row distance of 10 inches. A reduced row distance allows better seed spacing in rows and coverage to combat weeds. Not only does a low-disturbance system conserve more moisture for germination, it also handles heavy residue by cutting through and leaving everything in place undisturbed. Rubber torsion opener mounting eliminates pivot and bushing wear points while maintaining precise soil engagement with up to 550 lbs. of down pressure. With a total capacity of 355 Bushels the three pressurized tanks are all easily accessible. Single row concept makes the unit simple, robust and all the settings perfectly accessible. A weight transfer system takes the weight of the cart to use it across the full working width and reduces compaction under the transport wheels. The 60-foot-wide machine folds up nicely for a convenient transport mode that could fit on a on a truck trailer.
