2023 HORSCH Maestro CX 12.45 – 50

• New metering device generation AirVac and AirSpeed

• Versatile single grain technology for: maize, sunflowers, sugarbeet, sorghum, rape, soybeans and other types of beans

• Simple handling of the metering device – no adjustment of the scraper required

• Solid and reliable technology – heavy parallelogram and row unit for highest strain

• Coulter pressure up to 350 kg for optimum sowing even in most difficult conditions

• Automatic, soil-dependent coulter pressure adaption AutoForce

• High hectare output due to high capacities for fertiliser and seed

• Central seed system Main Tank Supply (MTS)

• Compact unit with low demands on the tractor

The compact Maestro CV / CX unit that consists of a highcapacity seed wagon and a seed bar for a working width of up to 7.2 m provides high efficiency whereas the demands on the tractor are comparatively low.

To meet the requirements of the customers in an optimum way, two configurations of the seed wagon of the Maestro CV / CX are available:

The hopper with a capacity of 3 000 liter is used for applying fertiliser via the coulters of the underground fertilisation system. In this case, the seed is supplied in the large single row boxes with a capacity of 70 liter.

The new double hopper system MTS (Main Tank Supply) stores 3 000 litres of fertiliser and 800 litres of seed. By means of the MTS technology seed is continuously transported to the individual row units and then singulated by the AirVac or AirSpeed metering devices. The big advantage of MTS is the simple and quick filling of the central seed hopper. The singulation of the seed is carried out by the two new metering systems with the well-known precision and the high placement accuracy in the row.

The fertiliser hopper of both versions is equipped with the well-proven HORSCH metering technology and can reliably and precisely feed the underground fertilisation system of the Maestro.

The coulter attachment of the Maestro can be equipped with 8 and 9 rows with a row spacing of 70 / 75 / 80 cm and 30". When it is used with 12 rows, 45 and 50 cm row spacings are available. The newly developed clamping profile allows for changing from 12 to 8 rows quite easily. An 11-row option attachment with a row spacing of 50 / 55 or 60 cm is also possible.

The new row body is equipped with a wide, stable parallelogram and a hydraulic cylinder to generate the coulter pressure is standard equipment. Coulter pressures up to 350 kg per row can be used manually at the terminal or fully automatically with the innovative coulter pressure regulation system AutoForce. The weight of the seed wagon is used to generate the coulter pressure on the whole width of the machine and guarantees a relief of the seed wagon tyres while sowing.

• Row spacings between 45 and 80 cm

• Clamping profile to connect the row bodies

• Coulter pressure between 150 and 350 kg per row

• Can be adjusted comfortably at the terminal

• Or controlled automatically with HORSCH AutoForce
