Cruiser XL

Shallow tillage in perfection

With its 6 bars the Cruiser mixes and distributes excellently. Due to the clearance at the tine shaft of 700 mm even large quantities of organic material are no problem.
The working depth is adjusted via the support wheels at the front and the packer.
The Cruiser XL is a 6-bar specialist for shallow and medium-deep tillage. The available working widths range from 5 to 7.5 metre. It is equipped with the HORSCH spring tine which rests unobtrusively in the frame and has a release force of 150 kg. The cultivator can be equipped with all four different cultivating point version and thus can be used in all seasons.
The chassis of the Cruiser 5 and 6 XL is located behind the tine section, in front of the levelling tools. The chassis with its large wheels is used for road transport as well as for turning on the headlands. The 7 XL turns on the packer and thus protects the soil, as the weight of the machine is distributed over the whole width of the machine on the headlands.
The sophisticated design characteristics of the chassis guarantees high ground clearance when lifted as well as a save swivelling of the tyres out of the working range when lowered. The position of the chassis has been chosen to guarantee optimum manoeuvrability in the field and high driving comfort on the road.
To be able to make optimum use of the tractive output, the Cruiser XL is equipped with a fully integrated tractive power amplifier that transfers weight to the rear axle of the tractor with 1 200 kg while working. It is activated by switching the control device for lifting and lowering to a depressurised condition, without any additional control devices or cylinders.

FEATURES

HORSCH

POINT VERSIONS FOR ANY USE

Due to the many point versions the HORSCH Cruiser can be used almost the whole year – for a ventilation of the soil in spring, for seedbed preparation for maize, for stubble breaking in summer and for seedbed preparation in autumn. The point angle allows for an ultra-shallow and all-over cutting at a low working depth. All point versions are available with the wellproven HORSCH carbide-tipping (HM) for a long service life.
5 cm HM point 5 cm wide HM point: ideal for seedbed preparation and for the ventilation of the soil in spring – up to 15 cm working depth.
8 cm HM point 8 cm wide HM point: ideal for stubble breaking, straw distribution and mixing, can also be used for seedbed preparation – up to 10 cm working depth.
10 cm HM point 10 cm wide HM point: ideal for stubble and seedbed preparation on very light soils, perfect straw distribution and mixing of organic matter – max. working depth up to 10 cm.
Carbide duck foot point Ideal for shallow mechanical weed control, all-over cutting – as of 2 cm working depth.

HORSCH SPRING TINES

ELEGANCE MEETS POWER

To meet the requirement of flexible use for a tillage tool, new technologies and developments in this sector are essential. A tool for stubble cultivation needs a powerful tine that distributes harvest residues in an optimum way and guarantees good mixing. For seedbed preparation in the spring the farmer expects the highest precision with regard to levelling and at the same time high stability to break the topsoil from the winter furrow. HORSCH combines all these characteristics in a new generation of tines.
With a release force of 150 kg and a trip release height of 20 cm the HORSCH spring tine constantly maintains the promised working depth of up to 15 cm even in the most difficult conditions. Due to the novel design of the spring tine the clearance of the Cruiser XL is increased from 600 mm to 700 mm. This allows for working without blocking even if there are high quantities of organic residues.
The special geometry of the suspension of the new HORSCH spring tine allows for an easy upward release without a lot of movement in the spring. This novel technology eases the stress on the material and increases the service life considerably.
To achieve the best working result, HORSCH offers the perfect point versions for the new HORSCH spring tine for any range of use – from the 5 cm wide chisel point for seedbed preparation to the carbide duck foot point for an all-over cutting during stubble cultivation.

PACKER

FOR THE OPTIMUM RESULT

HORSCH offers the appropriate packer version for deep as well as for shallow consolidation. The choice of the packer always depends on the soil and HORSCH has a suitable solution for any type of soil. Consolidation compacts excessively loose soil, crushes clods and creates optimum surroundings with an optimum ratio of water-bearing and air-bearing pores.
The new SteelFlex packer for the Cruiser XL was developed to guarantee more flexibility with regard to consolidation. The SteelFlex packer is a mix of SteelDisc and RingFlex.The SteelDisc roller first consolidates the soil deeply to obtain an optimum connection to the water supply. Then the RingFlex packer covers the surface with fine earth for an optimum germination bed.
