The new Fortis LT extends HORSCH’s successful universal cultivator range with a compact solution for medium-sized farms. The Fortis LT was specifically developed for standard tractors up to 500 hp and is available in four working widths from 4.60m to 6.75m. The cultivator has the flexibility to be used for shallow tillage to primary soil cultivation at depths of up to 30cm.

 The Fortis LT’s robust design considers the increase in tractor powers in recent years, harvest residues or catch crops performance and incorporation quality. The combination of a 4-bar design, a 27cm tine spacing and an 85cm frame height ensures an enormous clearance for working without clogging at a maximum working depth of 30cm. The intensive flow of soil in the machine offers a high mixing quality. The well-proven TerraGrip tine system with large radii on the tine shaft ensures a low horsepower requirement and compared to the proven Fortis AS, the LT is even more compact and shorter.

 A special feature is the placement of the levelling tools as close as possible to the last row of tines to allow the flow of soil to be directed into the levelling discs. The chassis can be moved out of the working area and therefore does not prevent the flow of soil from leaving the tine zone. This contributes to the large clearance with perfect levelling quality.

 The Fortis LT can be customised to meet individual customer requirements and operating conditions. The well-known MulchMix coulter system, with its wide range of coulter options and wings as well as the wide range of packer options, contributes to the flexibility of the machine. The angle of the double packers can be adjusted by means of the proven aluminium clips, a system that is unique in this class. This allows adjustment of the contact pressure of the packer roller, resulting in better consolidation in dry conditions and increases the load-bearing capacity in wet conditions. This can be individually adapted to changing soil conditions.
