HORSCH Leeb Xeric 14 FS goes into series production
The HORSCH Leeb Xeric 14 FS, the first pneumatic HORSCH fertiliser spreader, will go into series production for season 2026.
After its presentation at the Agritechnica 2023, the machine was used intensively and further developed following on extensive field experience. Series production now starts with new features and optimised technology. In addition to the previous working widths of 36m and 48m, a 39m version now completes the range.
The Leeb Xeric represents a brand-new product in a new sector for HORSCH. Using its proven experience with developing precision sprayers, HORSCH has brought the same level of productivity and control to granular fertiliser spreading.
The short time window for spreading fertiliser is a challenge for but with a capacity of 14m3, working widths of 36m, 39m and 48m, a powerful metering output and high operational speeds up to 20kph, the new Leeb Xeric sets new standards in the market. Advanced features like a 12-section boom, automatic section switch-off and curve compensation bring a new level of precision to granular fertiliser application.
Based on the well-proven tandem axle chassis of the Leeb 12 TD sprayer, the Leeb Xeric features BoomControl for precise boom levelling, a metering box with a central metering system and innovative boom design has a smooth passage for the fertiliser. This allows for a precise longitudinal and lateral distribution and precise application regardless of wind and a bad fertiliser quality (fertiliser granulate).
