2022 HORSCH Avatar 60 MD

The all new chassis and configuration of Avatar 60 MD raises the bar for integral fill single disk drills market, being the first with multiple product capacities with a 60 foot working width. A completely revolutionary concept, the Avatar 60M combines an agile three-tank design, the most precise volumetric metering and distribution system on the market, a complete agronomic based platform for precise seed placement, and the lowest maintenance opener system on the market. In fact, maintenance of the unit consists of only a handful of service points. Close attention to detail has been placed on every aspect of the design. Three individual tanks split (150-150-55) for a total of 355 bushel each have their own scale system. Integrated weight transfer system stabilizes the toolbar which ensures precise opener performance. Single rank toolbar gives easy access for adjustments and convenient access for calibrations. The Avatar 60 MD takes a complete common-sense approach to incorporate basic agronomic principals for securing maximum yield potentials. Put the power of Avatar to work in your row crop, cereal grain, oil seed, or cover crop operations today.

A seeding concept that is capable of many different tasks is an asset in any farming operation. First off, the Avatar 60 MD chassis is uniquely designed to incorporate two independent tanks and metering systems. Use this configuration at total capacity of 355 bushels split (150-150-55). Whether seeding wheat with a granular starter fertilizer, splitting up cover crop seed for more precise metering, or variable planting two varieties of soybeans as dual-hybrid, having two tanks on an integral single disc drill opens many opportunities to maximize the planting/seeding window. Configured on a 10 inch row spacing, a simple distribution tower insert quickly converts the unit to 20 inch row spacing. Large diameter chassis tires give extra floatation in soft field conditions. And with a single row of openers the “stepping” affect is eliminated, creating opportunity for faster seeding speeds pending field conditions.

Avatar opener concept integrates a robust design for precise seed placement.

Service on the Avatar 60 MD toolbar is made simple and can be done from a standing position when needed.

Unique rubber torsion opener mounting eliminates pivot and bushing wear points while maintaining precise soil engagement with up to 550 lbs of available down pressure.
