Maestro SX by HORSCH is based on the well-proven machine concept of the Maestro SV/SX. This seed wagon has been used very successfully all over the world since 2012 with the machine model Maestro SW . The Maestro SV L/SX L is the 2nd generation of the most successful HORSCH single grain seed drill and due to the liquid fertiliser equipment and metering systems AirVac and AirSpeed offers new possibilities.

The seed supply of the 24 or 36 rows is carried out centrally from the large seed hopper with a capacity of 5 000 l. There is a large 3 900 l hopper on the seed wagon for liquid fertiliser application. Due to the single-stage centrifugal pump with a capacity of up to 350 l/min, about 20 to 100 l/ha of liquid fertiliser can be applied with an operational speed of up to 15 km/h. The fertiliser can either be applied with the grains into the seed furrow shortly in front of the drop tube or directly behind the catching roller into the still open seed furrow.

In the working width segment from 9 to 12 m, there is a seed wagon with a capacity of 2 900 l resp. for seed and liquid fertiliser. This machine is currently available as Maestro 16 SV L/SX L and as Maestro 18 SV L.

For an optimum contact to the young, developing plant, liquid fertiliser is applied into the seed furrow directly at the grain. As an option, the liquid fertiliser can also be applied behind the catching roller into the seed furrow. This might be required in wet or sticky conditions to ensure that the grain is embedded optimally by the catching roller.

Advantages

• Versatile single grain seed drill for: maize, sunflowers, sugar beet, sorghum, rapeseed, soybeans and other bean species
• Rugged and reliable technology – heavy parallelogram and row unit for highest demands
• Coulter pressures up to 350 kg for optimal sowing even in most difficult conditions or automatic soil-dependent coulter pressure adjustment AutoForce
• High work rate due to high capacities for fertiliser and seed with large central hoppers for fertiliser, micro-granular compound and seed with the central row supply Main Tank Supply (MTS)
• Unique machine design for short set-up times between road transport and field

Usage Condition

• Precise and simple singulation of all crops with HORSCH AirVac or AirSpeed
• Operational speed up to 12 km/h possible with AirVac, up to 15 km/h with AirSpeed
• AutoForce for optimum embedding of the grain and regular emergence even in changing soil conditions
• Underground fertilisation with single disc fertiliser coulter or double disc fertiliser coulter
• Conventional use after plough, mulch seeding or direct seeding

Capacity

The Maestro SX has a seed wagon with a capacity of 5,000 capacity for seed and a capacity of 3,900 capacity for liquid fertilizer.
