2023 HORSCH Avatar SD 40

Avatar SD raises the bar on the integral fill single disk drill market, taking it to a whole new level. A completely revolutionary concept, the Avatar SD combines an agile two-tank design, the most precise volumetric metering system on the market, an agronomic based platform, 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. Two individual tanks with a metering system on each create an agile unit when multiple products are needed. Unique chassis system is slim for safe, narrow transport along with a weight transfer system during operation. The single rank tool bar gives easy access for adjustments. The Avatar SD takes a complete common-sense approach in design to incorporate basic agronomic principals for securing maximum yield potentials.

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

Service on the Avatar SD tool bar 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.

The Avatar SD is in a class of its own in the Single-Disk market. Having the advantages of dual tank design, tank capacity, the most accurate metering system, streamlined distribution system, and minimal maintenance. These characteristics make this machine the most versatile, precise, and simple machine in the game. Watch to learn more!

A seeding concept that is capable of many different tasks is an asset in any farming operation. First off, the Avatar SD chassis is uniquely designed to incorporate two independent tanks and metering systems. Use this configuration at total capacity of 166 bushels, or split 50/50 for two products to be placed in-furrow. 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. Narrow transport of only 12 feet offers safe and easy transportation even on the narrowest roads. 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.

Features may include:

Uniform product distribution with the HORSCH pneumatic distribution system. This contributes to excellent row-to-row product uniformity coefficient of variation and assures row to row rate accuracy across full working width. Uniform crop stand promotes uniform crop maturing and harvest.

Dual product capacity on this machine uses total capacity for seed or 50/50 with seed/starter fertilizer. For cover crops, individually meter two seed types. Studies have shown that using in-furrow starter fertilizer in cereal and oilseed crops has proven yield advantages.

Product carrying capacity with 66% more product carrying capacity vs competitive units which means you can secure more planted acres within the optimum window, securing maximum yield potentials and increasing seeding/planting efficiency by reducing fill time.
