The HORSCH FOCUS Seed drill offers direct seeding with a disc coulter 

The HORSCH Focus combines three working steps in one – loosening, placing fertiliser and sowing in a targeted way. The leading TerraGrip tine zone clears the seed furrow and the root area from harvest residues and loosens both. Due to the option to apply fertiliser 100% directly into the loosened root zone or 50 % of the fertiliser quantity deeply in the soil and 50 % on the surface, the machine is ideal for different sowing conditions. In excellent sowing conditions the placement of fertiliser at the cultivation depth allows for supplying the lower topsoil with fresh nutrients. If the conditions are rather wet and cold, the 50:50 placement can encourage the early growth of the crop in a targeted way and the root can be attracted downwards.

For rape and row crops in row seeding with a row spacing of 30 cm, a TurboDisc disc coulter or a TurboEdge tine coulter always follows in the middle of a preceeding TerraGrip tine and a packer tyre with AS-profile.

With regard to sowing cereals, an interchangeable seed bar can be used with a row spacing of 15 cm (optional: 17.5 cm with Focus 6.35 TD 3-point). With a 15 cm row spacing two TurboDisc double disc coulters follow a TerraGrip tine and a packer tyre with AS-profile. The shape of the ridges can be controlled via the disc levelling system in front of the packer if desired or an even seedbed can be achieved. With the optional crumbling tools, fine soil for the sowing area can be created in front of the packer.

The Focus 3 TD allows for using a 400 l MiniDrill as G&F version as well as a PPF version in addition to the 3 500 l double hopper with a partition of 60:40. This option is also possible for the Focus 4 TD and 6 TD that are equipped with a 5 000 l double hopper with 60:40 partition.
