FOCUS TD
Targeted loosening, targeted fertilisation, targeted sowing
The Focus 6.50 TD 3-point meets the demand for loosening in the traditional row crops with a spacing of 50 cm, e. g.
- Rape
- Sunflowers
- Sugarbeets
- Soy beans
- Maize
The TerraGrip 3L tines are arranged on two bars and pre-loosen the row in spacing of 50 cm. The fertiliser is planed in different horizons (deep = working depth, shallow = close to the surface and combination of both).
The newly developed tyre packer 320 / 70 – 24 AS runs exactly between the rows and supports the weigth of the machine with a large contact area.
Strengths
Of the focus td
- TerraGrip tines pre-loosen the soil in a targeted way and remove harvest residues from the seed and root area
- A fertiliser deposit is placed (if required in different depths)
- Moist soil is transported to the germination horizon
- Angled discs work between the seed rows and create ridges or level the soil according to the requirements
- The tyre packer consolidates the soil in front of the seed coulters
- Sowing is carried out by the strong and precise TurboDisc seed coulters into moist soil that is free of harvest residues
- Row spacings of 30 cm for rape seed and row crops and of 15 cm for crop sowing are possible
- The optional 3-point linkage of the Focus 6 TD allows for a quicker and easier changing from the TurboDisc seed bar to a Maestro RV seed unit. Thus, a deep placement of fertiliser is now also possible for maize and other single grain seeds with row spacings of 45 – 75 cm.
- Enormous efficiency due to optional MiniDrill G & F for sowing rape

FEATURES
TurboEdge coulter
SOWING INTO THE OPEN FURROW
What are the excelling features of the TurboEdge coulter?
Ideal for sowing rape and beans with row spacings of 28.6 – 30, 35 and 50 cm at all Focus models.
Assets of the TurboEdge coulter
- Intensive clearing of the harvest residues in the seed furrow
- Optional embedding of the seed grain with a guaranteed soil contact
- Perfect depth control by integrated press wheel at seed body
- Optimum complement for sowing with the Focus when the preparation intensity was low
MiniDrill
HIGH EFFICIENCY DUE TO THREE COMPONENTS
For rape sowing there are further equipment options that are specifically adapted to the Focus like a HORSCH MiniDrill . It can be used as a third hopper and thus almost doubles efficiency or saves one pass for pest management.
There are two different options for the MiniDrill equipment. The version MiniDrill G & F is used as a third hopper for seed. Thus, you can almost double the efficiency of the machine when sowing rape. The MiniDrill has a hopper capacity of 400 litres. If the MiniDrill hopper is filled with rape seed, the two large hoppers (capacity 2 000 and 3 000 litres) can be filled with mineral fertiliser. Thus, you can quite easily reduce downtime for refilling and gain valuable time for sowing.
The MiniDrill PPF is the second version. In this case, the MiniDrill is used to take micro-granular compound, underseeds or slug pellets along. This optional third component is applied via outlets to the surface of the field. This MiniDrill version is equipped with its own fan, and its own pneumatic system with separate distributor tower and a outlet in front of every seed coulter.
The option of placing three different components precisely in three different seed horizons makes the Focus the perfect catch crop seed drill. Via the tine section you can for example place field beans deeply, the seed coulters can drill vetches on the normal seed horizon and via the outlet you can apply grass or clover.
The placement of catch crops into the optimum seed horizon, the application of micro-granular compound or slug pellets as well as the option to drill underseeds point out the manifold possibilities to use the MiniDrill PPF at the Focus TD.
