Horsch Maestro DV

Maestro DV

THE ALL-ROUNDER AMONG THE SEED DRILLS

The very compact unit Maestro DV that consists of a high-capacity seed wagon, a seed bar with 6 m working width and a single grain seed bar with 8 rows guarantees high efficiency combined with comparably little requirements on the tractor. As a seed bar can be linked via a 4-point linkage it is possible to attach a Pronto NT seed bar with a working with of 4 or 5 m for broadcast sowing. Thus, the Maestro DV can be used even more universally and becomes an all-rounder among the seed drills.
To meet all customer requirements in an optimum way, two configurations of the seed wagon of the Maestro DV are available.

Single hopper for fertiliser

The 2 800 litre hopper is used to apply fertiliser via the coulters of the underground fertilisation. In this case, the seed is supplied in the large individual row boxes with a capacity of 70 litre.

Pressurised double hopper for two components

If the Maestro DV is equipped with a Pronto NT seed bar the 3 500 litre double hopper can be used to apply seed and fertiliser into the seed slot at the same time (Grain & Fertiliser system). As an alternative, the double hopper with the single grain seed bar can be used to apply two different components via the underground fertilisation unit.
For both versions the hopper is equipped with the well-proven HORSCH metering technology and can supply the underground fertilisation system respectively the seed bar of the Maestro reliably and precisely.
The row body of the Maestro DV is equipped with a wide, sturdy parallelogram and, as a standard, with springs to create the coulter pressure. Thus, coulter pressures up to 260 kg per row can be generated mechanically. As an option, it is possible to equip the machine with hydraulic cylinders to generate the coulter pressure. Thus, the innovative coulter pressure regulation system AutoForce carries out the coulter pressure adjustments up to max. 350 kg per row. The weight of the seed wagon is used to generate the coulter pressure over the whole width of the machine and relieves the seed wagon tyres while sowing.
