BASIC FEATURES

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/23114_03.jpgBasic

  • Rotary pump with a capacity of 265 gal/min
  • Filling connection 3" through 5-way valve, 2" lines at the suction side
  • Pressure sensor for monitoring the spraying pressure and pressure controller to adapt the flow
  • Suction and pressure side can be operated manually
  • Electronic level indicator at the mixture tank

The equipment line Basic the HORSCH Leeb VN and VL are equipped with a 265gal/min rotary pump (filling connection 3" through 5-way valve, 2" lines on the suction side). Suction and pressure side are operated via manual multi-way valves. The spraying pressure is monitored with a pressure sensor and a pressure controller adapts the flow rate. The tank is equipped with an electronic level indicator. A digital level indicator is available as an option in the terminal.

  • Safe and quick cleaning by displacing the mixture from the lines
  • Quick cleaning process of the sprayer without having to get off
  • Complete control of the cleaning process in the cab
  • Electronic level indicator at the mixture tank with automatic switch-off
  • Quick and thorough cleaning with optimized water use

The CCS water system guarantees a continuous inside cleaning of tank, lines and boom. The additional CCS piston diaphragm pump for cleaning pumps clean water into the spray lines, the spraying pump removes the residual mixture from nozzles and the spray lines instead of diluting it. This allows the system to be cleaned quickly, thoroughly and with an optimized water consumption – without having to get off the machine directly from the cabin – and the sprayer is completely cleaned when leaving the field. To fill the machine, a powerful rotary pump with Load Sensing is used with manual operation for the suction and pressure side.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/53130_03.jpgPowerGear wheel drive

  • Degree of efficiency in the main working range has been specially optimized for the use in the crop care sector
  • Selective traction control for every wheel
  • Powerful drive even in steep terrain and at slopes
  • Infinitely variable drive from 0 – 35 mph

The PowerGear standard drive allows for optimum performance in the field and on the road. Equipped with standard anti-slip control (ASR) and all-wheel drive, the machine easily manages any terrain. The degree of efficiency that has been optimized for the use in the crop care sector with larger wheel motors at the rear axle and the corresponding higher driving power distributes drive torques in the speed range 0 – 35 mph powerfully and efficiently.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/13957_03.jpgHighPowerGear wheel drive

  • Can cope with slopes up to 50 %
  • Maximum torque at the wheel for highest requirements in the field
  • Selective traction control for every wheel
  • Degree of efficiency in the main working range has been specially optimized for the use in the crop care sector
  • Infinitely variable drive from 0 – 35 mph

For farmers who want to or have to push the limits, we offer the HighPowerGear drive: more driving power when starting, more reserves in wet conditions and more torque in the low speed range for highest requirements in the field. HighPowerGear shows its strength especially with low operational speed and extreme slopes of up to 50 %. When driving slowly below 5 mph or if the machine is on the verge of getting stuck, HighPowerGear provides the required power reserves to manage the most difficult situations.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/48506_03.jpgBoom variants

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/33775_03.jpgBoomControl Pro

  • Independent angling of the boom section and the middle section to follow the terrain
  • Active adaption of the boom to the terrain due to 4 sensors
  • The precise, lowest possible working height is maintained due to automatic boom control system
  • Boom control system with a low target height ensures minimum drift
  • Boom is completely independent from the machine

With four ultrasonic sensors BoomContro Pro can angle the boom as well as the middle section to better adapt the boom control system to uneven and slightly hilly terrain. Thus, even at high operational speeds, this version of the automatic boom control system can accurately maintain the lowest possible working height. The safe and stable boom control system with a low target height ensures minimum drift. Active adaption of the boom that is completely independent from the machine via the height control of the middle section.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/53122_03.jpgBoomControl Pro Plus

  • The precise, lowest possible working height is maintained due to automatic boom control system
  • Boom control system with a low target height ensures minimum drift

Due to the 6 ultrasonic sensors, BoomControl Pro Plus can angle individual boom wings independently and also angle them at the middle section so that the boom can optimally follow uneven and hilly terrain. Thus, even at maximum operational speed, the top version of the automatic boom control can follow the topography of the field with the lowest possible working height. The safe and stable boom control system with a low target height ensures minimum drift. Active adaption of the boom that is completely independent from the machine via the height control of the middle section.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/33773_03.jpgBoomControl/BoomControl Pro extension

The hydraulic flange adjustment TrackControl allows for a reliable and comfortable adjustment of the track width of the self-propelled sprayer HORSCH Leeb VL.

The track width can be adjusted infinitely from 118" to 161" to react to any crop and row width. Tramlines can be avoided and stability and driving characteristics improve while spraying.

https://cdn.horsch.com/celum/38764_03.jpgHillControl

  • Track-true self-steering of the rear axle on the slope
  • Active slope counter-steering, infinitely adjustable aggressiveness
  • Simple operation, stored values are recalled in any direction of travel
  • Safer driveability on side slopes under demanding conditions

With the HillControl equipment, the rear axle of the self-propelled HORSCH Leeb plant protection sprayer is controlled separately. This ensures safe maneuverability on slopes even under difficult conditions. The slipping of the machine is actively overridden and the aggressiveness of the steering is continuously adjusted.

Operation is incredibly simple: activate HillControl and, if necessary, adjust the steering slightly to suit the conditions. The system stores the values until the next time the linkage is folded in - in any direction of travel across the entire field.

The active hillside counter-steering system HillControl compensates drift on side slopes and ensures a directionally stable following of the rear axle.
