2023 HORSCH Terrano FX 5

The Terrano FX is a compact universal cultivator which can be equipped with different points. It is used for a shallow whole area stubble cultivation or for intensive loosening and mixing of straw to a working depth of between 5 and 30 cm. Its 3-bar, robust frame design with high clearance ensures uniform mixing in of residues even in difficult soil conditions. In comparison to 2-bar cultivators, the Terrano FX keeps the soil within the cultivator for a longer time, thus ensuring an excellent mixing performance. Even levelling and deep consolidation ensure a perfect finish and produce an optimal seedbed.

Already in 2003, the DLG Fokus test confirmed the low horsepower requirement of the Terrano FX. Maintaining best working quality, the Terrano FX consumes 20 % less diesel compared to the average consumption of all tested candidates.

The point systems can be changed easily. Each is individually optimised for its specific task (whole area / shallow, intensive mixing / deep). This makes the Terrano FX versatile, not only in working depth but also in performance. The working depth of the Terrano FX is controlled by the hydraulics of the tractor and the packing system. The depth is set with ClipOn spacers (AluClips) that limit the lowering depth of the cultivator frame in relation to the packing system.

The robust TerraGrip tine provides constant point control at the required working depth. The MulchMix points guarantee intensive mixing of the soil without damaging the soil structure. The levelling discs are optimally placed and can be adjusted so that the surface is level. In addition to its weight, the Terrano uses the down force of the tines for an even and deep consolidation.

Features may include:

The TerraGrip is a very powerful tine with overload protection. The trip height amounts to 30 cm without triggering a shear bolt. This saves time and money. Due to the effective stone protection the tine moves quickly in case of overload and due to the spring force penetrates the soil again quickly and exactly – without the usual side movements.

When avoiding an obstacle, the force of the spring decreases from 500 kg to 175 kg. The force that acts on the frame is thus reduced considerably.

The MulchMix point with its steep angle is designed for the intensive mixing of harvest residues and deep cultivation. Due to the large diameter (600 mm) of the HORSCH MulchMix point the soil is not pressed and its structure remains intact. Regardless of the working depth: The point never penetrates the soil vertically. This reduces the horse power requirement and saves valuable petrol. Even if there are high amounts of straw, it achieves an excellent mixing quality. The MulchMix points consist of three parts (point, guide plate, wing) which can be changed independently. For a very shallow stubble cultivation and all-over cutting the wings can be set to a shallow position. If deep loosening and at the same time an excellent mixing of the soil is desired, the wings can simply be dismantled.
