Horsch Express TD

I'm thinking one of these would be ideal for our light land, but they don't seem very popular. Any opinions would be welcome.

not a direct drill, but can be used on mintill or ploughed and pressed land. Heavy the 3m disc version we had was 2.8t, well made and a good drill which was easy to calibrate and accurate.
Sold as it was just too heavy for our tractor

What size tractor did you run it on as thinking of buying 1?

Had one on demo, did a nice job but just way too heavy for a linkage mounted machine.
Could only cope with about 250kg in the seed hopper with 1100kg on front weight on a JD6630

I have the kr express p/h version.Yes it is very heavy but my Kubota m7 series kvt handles it with consummate ease helped by a 1.8 ton front press. The disc set up is good and easy to sow at depth if required.The only fiddle is changing the metering rollers which can be a pain at times.
Can pop one ton of seed in the hopper and the tractor copes well.The new Amazone combi with similar twin discs(can't remember the model) also looks a pretty impressive machine.

we had it on a 2170 fastrac, could only handle 1/2ton in hopper. lift not great on fastrac
definately needs front weights or press
