Horsch Focus TD

Did anyone on here start running one of these? Looks like a good fit for our system of lots of root crops, some ploughing in the rotation, wanting to get cover crops drilled early, and a chance of doing some DD as well.

foxburrow farms are running one i beleive the manager or owner is on here but cannot remember their username, they were talking about it on a thread recently.

I tried one briefly. The tine spacing wasn't as good as some of the others for trash flow. Excellent chassis and with baled straw and/or a pass in front with a shallow disc like a Joker or Carrier it would do well IMO.

The combination of loosening and narrower row widths looked quite good, still think a Sumo DTS tool bar would be a good idea to go along with a front hopper equipped power harrow drill.

The DTS is a good setup now that they have the extended stagger kit. You would be saving a lot of money by using your existing front hopper. Claydon will also sell you a rear toolbar. @Devon James has one.

Used to have a 3m sr claydon but with all the root crops we run the fields need better contour following I feel for cover crop sowing.

Mzuri may be able to build you a toolbar too.
