HORSCH: New 5000 litre HORSCH Leeb PT expands self-propelled sprayer range
The HORSCH Leeb PT self-propelled sprayer range has been expanded with the introduction of a 5000-litre model.
As with the new Leeb VT, the Leeb 5.230 PT and Leeb 5.300 PT feature a polyethylene tank, and they are powered by either a 230hp or 300hp 6.7-litre six-cylinder FPT Stage
5 compliant engine, along with the new high-comfort cab. A wide range of boom widths, from 24m to 48m, is available on all self-propelled
sprayers.
“The 230hp engine suits the 5000-litre model very well and opens up a new segment for HORSCH. We have already seen a lot of interest from
farmers wanting a high capacity, high precision self-propelled sprayer but at lower entry point. The Leeb 5.230 PT offers the renowned quality,
reliability and productivity that HORSCH is known for, at a highly competitive price,” said Stephen Burcham, general manager at HORSCH
UK.
New cab offers high levels of operator comfort
All self-propelled models feature an all-new cab that offers significantly higher levels of operator comfort. Quieter, more spacious
and more intuitively designed controls that have been specifically tailored to crop care, the new cab creates a productive environment that
allows operators to work more effectively.
Based on the latest Claas cab, the state-of-the-art cabin features an advanced A-column terminal as standard and new Leeb-designed armrest and
joystick control systems specific for crop care applications. Category IV filtration is fitted as standard and pneumatic 4-point cabin
suspension is available as an option for those looking for ultimate comfort.
Leeb VT self-propelled sprayer with variable track
The HORSCH Leeb VT was the first sprayer to feature the new cab. It combines variable track adjustment with the well-known performance of a
Leeb PT self-propelled sprayer. The flexible track adjustment is ideal for mixed crop farms and contractors requiring varying row widths
between 1.8m and 2.4m, assisting with stability in the field and manoeuvrability on the road.
