Leeb LT – HORSCH’s entry into the large market of spraying technology with a capacity of 4,000 and 5,000 litres

At the Agritechnica show HORSCH will present for the first time the Leeb LT with 4,000 and 5,000 litres plastic tank. Thus HORSCH opens an attractive and large sprayer market for the whole of Europe. The equipment options for the Leeb LT are various. There are three different equipment lines. The boom control system BoomControl (keeps the boom steady even when driving fast on uneven terrain) which was awarded a silver medal at the Agritechnica show 2013 is standard equipment. The ECO model has the base equipment. The machine is equipped with a piston diaphragm pump with manual operated valves for suction and pressure side. The medium equipment models are equipped with CCS which is the the automatic inside cleansing system CCS (Continuous Cleaning System). The CCS Pro version is equipped with a modern electronic system at the suction and pressure side and thus is similar to the premium equipment level of the Leeb GS spraying technology.

The capacity of the fresh water tank is 500 litres.

Boom widths range between 18 and 42 m. The larger boom widths with more than 36 to 42 m are now also available for the Leeb GS.

A highlight of the Leeb LT is the ISOBUS operating concept. It is a HORSCH in-house development and incorperates of a lot of new and innovative function which will facilitate adjustment, operation and control of the machine. Part of it is the HORSCH nozzle switching with a nozzle spacing of 50 or 25 cm. This together with BoomControl allows for a target area height of 30 cm, thus allowing for an enormous drift reduction and optimisation of the plant wetting. With regard to the nozzle switching all combinations from 1-0 (every 50 cm a nozzle) to 4-2 (every 50 cm 4 nozzles plus every 25 cm 2 nozzles).

The optional steering axle of the machine uses its own gyroscope. Thus, the direct connection to the tractor steering via cable or mechanical connection is no longer necessary. You only have a connection to the tractor of the hydraulic system, road lights and ISOBUS plug.

The Leeb LT is equipped with Load Sensing hydraulics to relieve the hydraulic system of the tractor. Moreover, the underbody is completely smooth for plant protection with a ground clearance of 85 cm. For parking a hydraulic support leg is standard equipment.
