SingleDisc

• Individual depth control by means of depth control wheel

• Single disc coulter with seed skid

• Ideal for direct seed, mulch seed and after conventional tillage

• Outstanding for stony, very heavy and clayey soils

• Coulter pressure up to 350 kg

• Maintenance free

Designed for the Avatar line, the maintenance-free SingleDisc coulter offers exceptional versatility across diverse conditions, from direct seeding to heavy clay soils. It utilizes a 6° lateral and 3° vertical angle to ensure precise seed placement, while providing up to 350 kg of adjustable pressure via a robust rubber torsion suspension. By effectively clearing harvest residues and securing seed-to-soil contact, this durable system guarantees uniform emergence even in the most challenging terrain.

Hopper options

• Double hopper with a capacity of 8 500 l, partition 60:40 or 50:50

• Triple tank with 10 900 l capacity, partition 20:40:40 or 20:50.30

The **Avatar 18.25 SD** offers versatile hopper configurations, including double hoppers (60:40 or 50:50) with an 8,500-liter capacity and a triple tank (10,900 liters) with 20:40:40 or 20:50:30 partitioning. This multi-hopper system prevents the separation of fine and coarse seeds while allowing for the precise, independent application of multiple seed types or individual fertilizer components. By eliminating the need for pre-mixed products, operators gain the flexibility to adjust application ratios on the fly to meet specific field requirements.

HORSCH metering system / HORSCH rotors

• Exact application

• Optimum seed distribution

• HORSCH rotor selection – find the optimum rotor for your machine quickly and easily

• Depending on the components, seed rate and operational speed, various options can be selected

• Easily accessible

• Rotor shafts can be replaced without any tools

HORSCH metering systems offer maximum flexibility through a range of interchangeable rotors tailored to specific seed rates, speeds, and machine configurations. For drills with double drop tubes, specialized rotors enable precise distribution and half-width shut-off, while an integrated valve system allows for quick rotor swaps without emptying the hopper. To ensure accuracy, HORSCH provides a rotor selection server for guidance, though a calibration test is always recommended to guarantee an optimum seed rate across the entire working width.

Catching roller

• Safe placement of the seed

• Ideal in dry soils

• Remove the catching roller in wet conditions

• Due to the parking position, the catching roller can be lifted

Due to the catching roller, the seed is placed perfectly in the seed furrow to create a connection to capillarity. When sowing in very wet conditions, the catching roller can be set to the parking position with one simple step. Thus, it is possible to continue sowing in wet conditions. If working in wet conditions for a longer time, it makes sense to replace the catching roller with the uniformer.

Fine metering insert kits

• Perfect for microgranular compounds and fine seeds

• Seed rates of 1.5 kg/ha to 60 kg/ha

• Can be used in every machine with a pressurised hopper

• Fine metering insert kit includes:

• A drive shaft with four possible drive pinions

• Three rotors with different sizes

• Individual spacers depending on the drive shaft

The HORSCH fine metering insert kit provides a precise, versatile solution for applying microgranular compounds and fine seeds across all HORSCH machines with pressurized hoppers. By utilizing a modular system of drive shafts, interchangeable rotors of various sizes, and specialized spacers, the kit allows for highly accurate application rates ranging from 1.5 kg/ha to 60 kg/ha. This simple yet flexible design is compatible with models like the Partner, MiniDrill, Pronto, and Focus, offering seamless integration for diverse agricultural needs.

Closing wheel steel 20 cm

• For sowing in wet conditions

• Closes the seed furrow even in changing conditions

• Ideal with the offset method

• The down force of the closing wheels can be adjusted by means of a spring without any tools

• Depending on the conditions, the angle can be changed

The steel closing wheel is ideal for wet and changing conditions. Even with a lot of organic material, the closing wheel works reliably – a real all-rounder among the closing wheels. In special conditions, the angle of the closing wheel can be adjusted to achieve a perfect result.

Star roller steel

• For sowing in dry soils

• The star roller produces crumbly fine soil

• The down force of the closing wheels can be adjusted by means of a spring without any tools

• Depending on the conditions, the angle can be changed

The steel star roller is ideal for dry soils. The star profile produces fine soil. It covers the seed and closes the seed furrow. For special conditions, the angle of the star roller can be adjusted to achieve a perfect result.

Uniformer

• Safe placement of the seed in the furrow

• Can be used in all situations

• Ideal when sowing into green catch crops

• Ideal in wet conditions

Due to the Uniformer, the seed is pressed in to the seed furrow. This principle is already known from the TurboDisc seed coulters of the Pronto. The Uniformer is also ideal for green catch crops.

Oil cooler

• Heats up the airflow in the pneumatic system

• Maintains the flowability of fertiliser in wet conditions, e.g. dew in the morning, for a longer period

• Lowers the oil temperature in the system and relieves the tractor's oil cooler

The optional oil cooler at the hydraulic fan heats up the air flow in the pneumatic system. This lowers the oil temperature in the system and relieves the tractor's oil cooler. Another very important advantage is that it maintains the flowability of the fertiliser in wet conditions, e.g. dew in the evening.

WorkLight Pro

• Optimal illumination of the working surroundings at twilight and at night

• Flexibly rotatable LED headlights

• Can be switched on/off via the terminal

• Another headlight illuminates the metering unit

Flexibly adjustable LED headlights in the rear ensure an optimum illumination behind the seed drill combination. Flexibility plays an important role while sowing as you should choose the perfect sowing time for an optimum population. When sowing late or early, WorkLight Pro guarantees an optimum illumination of the area behind the seed drill combination. Another LED headlight perfectly illuminates the metering unit and ensures optimum visibility during the calibration process at a late hour.

Fertiliser and seed flow control

• For a complete monitoring of the seed and fertiliser hoses

• Warning if a pneumatic hose is blocked

• Sowing errors are avoided

• Monitoring of the pneumatic flow at the distribution tower

The fertiliser and seed flow control is a reasonable electronic solution to prevent sowing errors. The sensors control the flow directly behind the distribution tower and detect blockages. Thus, the individual pneumatic hoses are monitored and within seconds you get a notification in the terminal – both acoustic and visual.
