Pimp my Horsch

[RTK Farmer]

Second seeder added for slug pellets or companion seeds when rape drilling. Nice and easy to do, just needed to extend wiring as drawbar very long and remote automatic rotor on/off switch left to fit.

Could you put fert on with that or are seed rollers too small?

Do you run the drill with no covering discs? If so does it leave an uneven finish?

Finish is fine with those points.

Only the specialist granuals at a low rate. Not intending to use fert.

Is it fixed rate? Or does it vary with speed?

Fixed rate, gps costs a lot more usually drill around 12k so happy fixed rate will be close enough. Easy to have a couple of other calibration speeds done so can adjust to another number on variator switch on box.

We have the same mounted on our drill and I've found that if you calibrate it for 10km/h and the number is 16, if you then calibrate for 15km/h t'll be around 24 so it's pretty easy to work out where it needs to be.

Does the that feed into the drill fan and to the distribution head?

No. As second pic.

Is that a T15 De limbe spreader?

 

[RTK Farmer]

Yes Andrew. I have one on another machine, nice and simple, does the job, only prob I've ever had was a little bridging in the hopper with an oat mix.
