Since the foundation of HORSCH LEEB 9 years ago, plant protection has been a sales driver. Due to excelling technical innovations like the prize-winning boom control system BoomControl and a lot of customer-specific adaption options HORSCH is able to provide every customer with the optimum product for his requirements. This year, the Leeb 12 TD that was announced at the Agritechnica show has been working in the field all over Europe for the first time. With this sprayer HORSCH enters the market of trailed sprayers with an extremely high capacity of 12,000 litres and extends the technology of the Leeb LT and GS to a new dimension. The Leeb TD is interesting for large farms, farms that have to cover large distances or for farmers who because of their crops require high application rates. It is equipped with an innovative tandem axle and a two-tank system that always distributes the load intelligently even on slopes to make sure that the traction at the rear axle of the tractor is always optimum.

If you also add the technology for mechanical population management like the new harrows Cura ST or the hoes Transformer VF for regenerative farming, HORSCH is one of the manufacturers with the largest own product range in the whole plant protection sector. Even if the share of mechanical population management surely will continue to increase – driven by social discussions and legal stipulations – traditional plant protection technology will still play a major role in professional farming.

The system will be optional on trailed Leeb LT and GS units, as well as all PT self-propelled machines. PWM is also offered by a host of other manufacturers, either using in-house-built systems or third party-sourced kits.

The technology is becoming increasingly popular as growers look to keep chemical and liquid fertiliser use as accurate as possible.

One of the main advantages is turn compensation, where the spray volume is altered to apply the correct rate across the width, even when the boom ends are travelling at different speeds.

Horsch’s Precision Spray setup is apparently one of the first to integrate this into the sprayer’s software, removing the requirement for additional controllers in the cab – unlike that of Capstan and other brands.

There is no word on price but, as a guide, PWM typically adds about £25,000 to the cost of a sprayer.
