2023 HORSCH Avatar 8.25 – 18.25 SD 10.25

The individual depth controlled SingleDisc coulter has especially been designed for the Avatar line. Due to its individuality and flexibility, it can be adapted to the most different sowing conditions:

• Direct seed

• Mulch seed

• Conventional tillage

• In standing catch crops

• Stony and very heavy, clayey soils

The interaction of sincle disc coulter and seed skid guaranteesa safe opening of the furrow. At the same time harvest residuesare removed from the furrow. The result is an optimum contactof seed and soil for quick and safe emergence.

Via the rubber buffer a coulter pressure of up to 350 kg percoulter can be transferred. The coulter pressure can be adjustedmechanically or electrically via the terminal. All pivot points andconnections at the coulter are maintenance-free. The durable,maintenance-free bearings at all turning parts guarantee a longservice life and operational reliability. The seed skid is equippedwith a carbide wear edge for a long service life. It can evenbe extended with the HM+ version.

The stable depth control rolls guarantee an exact depth controlof the coulter in changing or difficult conditions. This is dueto different co-ordinated adjustments of the seed coulter.

Due to the lateral inclination of 6° and an undergrip of 3° ofthe single disc coulter the seed is placed below the surface ina slanting way. Depending on the conditions you can choosebetween Uniformer and catching roller.

• Safe fixing of the seed in the furrow

• Flexible use

• Ideal when sowing into green catch crops

• Safe emergence even in dry conditions

• High operational reliability even in very wet conditions due to the integrated parking position for the catching roller; thepress wheel in this case is moved away from the working area

Depending on the soil conditions the angle of theclosing wheel can be adjusted:

• Aggressively for direct seed or on very heavy soils

• Passively on cultivated or very light soils

You can choose between two versions:

• For sowing in very dry conditions the star closing wheelis the optimum solution

• The star wheel produces important fine earth for closingthe seed furrow

• For sowing in wet, changing conditions thesteel closing wheel is ideal.

• Closes the seed furrow even in changing conditions

• Ideal with the offset method

• The down force of the closing wheels can be adjustedby means of a spring without any tools.

• Finely graduated seed depth adjustment without tools

• The down force of the closing wheels can be adjusted by means of a spring without any tools.

• Star wheel steel – produces fine earth and closes the seed furrow

• Star wheel steel – produces fine earth and closes the seed furrow

• Uniformer Avatar

• Press wheel in the seed furrow for optimum seed-soil contactof the grain
