2023 HORSCH Pronto NT 8

• Precise seed placement – as even germination increases yield potential.

• High seeding speed – as perfect timing is essential.

• Tolerance for seedbed conditions – as flexibility saves money.

• Wavy discs pre-cut the seed row in a targeted way and remove harvest residues, rough structures or dry soil from the immediate seed area

• The mounting of the TurboDisc coulters allows for vertical adjustment movement of up to 15 cm and ensures precise contour following. All seeds are placed exactly at the specified depth.

• 4 rubber elements/coulters release a pressure of up to 120 kg, sufficient to reliably keep them in the ground at high speed.

• The rubber wheel at the coulter-end ensures precise seed depth and proper seed-to-soil contact.

• High output – due to working speeds of 10 – 20 km/h

• Short turning times – due to compact design

• Low idle times – due to large seed and fertiliser hoppers

• Short set-up times – due to uncomplicated connection to the tractor

• Quickly ready for action – due to easy adjustment of seed quantity, seed depth and coulter pressure

• Unproblematic changing of the seed

• Low maintenance requirements

• TurboDisc seed coulter – precise seed placement at high working speeds

• TurboDisc coulters are individually controlled by press wheels and are equipped with integrated shock absorbers

• Exact adaption to uneven soils up to a difference of 15 cm

• Stepless coulter pressure adjustment 5 – 120 kg per TurboDisc coulter

• High efficiency as a result of the operational speeds of up to 20 km/h and the optimised hopper concept

• Safe emergence due to the well-proven Pronto technology

• High service life and reliability – lowest costs for seeding

• Specialised for spring seeding and for sowing in wet conditions – sowing without a packer allows for sowing in very wet conditions

• Targeted seed strip preparation with wavy discs (removing, crumbling and consolidation)

• Fertilisation to the point – PPF (Pronto 10 / 12 NT) and G & F fertilisation systems

With the well-proven TurboDisc coulter and the compact design without a seed wagon the Pronto 6 / 8 / 9 NT is suitable for mulch and direct seed. Operational speeds up to 20 km/h allow for a high area output even for smaller working widths. The wavy cutting discs cut organic material and cultivate the soil only in the seed rows. Thus, the horsepower requirement is very low.

The large seed hopper (4 000 l) guarantees low idle times and even without additional weights allows for a sufficient pressure of the cutting discs. This pressure is transferred via the sophisticated hydraulic system of the machine. If necessary, additional weights up to 1 400 kg can be mounted at the frame. Due to flexible frame sections the soil adaption of the seed unit is excellent.

The double hopper version (5 000 l) allows for applying seed and fertiliser at the same time. In addition, a micro-granular unit is available to apply another component. The micro-granular unit can be combined with double hopper as well as with the single hopper version. Thus, up to three components (seed, fertiliser, micro-granular compounds) can be metered in only one pass.

• Filling auger double hopper output 500 kg/min

• Hydraulically foldable in transport position
