The HORSCH Focus is not only impressive when sowing row crops such as maize or beet, the strengths of the StripTill also come to the fore when it comes to cereals, but above all when rapeseed is sown. With rapeseed, we see a clear increase in yield, since root growth is very positively influenced by the targeted deep tillage and the attractiveness of the fertilizer, so that dry period can be survived.

For more than 10 years, HORSCH has been building the Focus series, which has evolved over the years to meet a wide range of requirements and customer requirements and can be adapted to a wide range of equipment thanks to a wide range of equipment options.

The main features of the Focus family include deep soil loosening with targeted fertilizer placement and exact sowing combined in just one operation. Proven HORSCH components from seed and tillage machines have been installed. So you reduce your crossings, protect your soil, but above all you keep important moisture in the ground. The HORSCH Focus series is available from 4 to 7 meters working width, the long-awaited 3 meter version will be launched in autumn 2020.

The different operations of the Focus are divided as follows:

Zone I – TerraGrip tines

Deep soil loosening and the targeted placement of fertilizer under the seed rows enable optimal root development.
The fertilizer can be placed in one or two different depths of soil.
The clearing of harvest residues from the root area and the transport of moist soil into the germ horizon also ensure ideal seed conditions.

Zone II – tire packer

The proven HORSCH tire packer with 12 layers for extra long service life ensures targeted, in-depth reconsolidation.
The resulting soil closure leads to optimal seedbed preparation in front of the coulters.
The high tires with a diameter of 100 cm ensure optimum passage even on the lightest of floors and avoid material being pushed open in front of the packer.
