Maestro CF planter

One of HORSCH's main highlights at Tecnoshow 2024 is the new precision seeder - Maestro CF, the most versatile in the Maestro line. The big news is its exclusive system for changing the bar between summer and winter crops, that is, by purchasing a seeder you can have two.

Using the HORSCH interchangeable bar system, it transforms the precision seeder with seed distribution per meter into a seeder with distribution in kg/ha, compatible with the Dakar CF. “This versatile solution eliminates the need to purchase and maintain two separate pieces of equipment, reducing purchase and maintenance costs in addition to saving storage space”, reinforces the CEO of HORSCH do Brasil, Rodrigo Duck.

Another new feature of this launch is the individual hydraulic pressure system for the cutting discs, an ideal solution for cases of direct planting in denser straw. The Maestro CF is available in models 14, 16 and 18 rows with 45 and 50cm spacing. With a capacity of 7.500 liters, the central input tank is divided into 4.500 liters for fertilizer and 3.000 liters for seeds, providing fewer stops during planting and more efficient refills.

Minidrill 800 CC E Cultro TC

Another highlight is the Minidrill 800 CC, a versatile microgranulator equipped with an 800 liter super tank to further increase application efficiency. Ideal for those who need precise application of fertilizers and agricultural pesticides, with a focus on reducing environmental impact, avoiding contamination of soil and water resources due to excess inputs.

Another new feature is the Cultro TC, which is now produced in Brazil! The Cultro TC is the fastest straw processor on the market, providing minimum effort for maximum operational efficiency, low soil compaction and can be used in various crops. Its use has low consumption and little demand on the tractor’s power.

The knives allow intensive cutting, providing exceptional results in corn stover and cover crops. Furthermore, during field work, the total weight of the structure is supported by the rollers, generating advantages in terms of cutting quality of organic matter.

Miniflow E Horsch Connect

The Miniflow furrow spray system is designed to improve inoculation effectiveness and promote healthy crop growth. Combined with HORSCH Connect, an advanced telemetry system, farmers will be able to monitor and manage their operations more intelligently and efficiently than ever before, making the most of every growing cycle.

The eosT10 Monitor, an essential tool for advanced and accurate agricultural monitoring. With intuitive features and an easy-to-use interface, this monitor offers farmers new capabilities and greater real-time data storage capacity, enabling faster decisions and more effective management strategies.
