The Horsch Pronto NT drill was displayed for the first ...More on previous page time in the UK. “Resistant grass weed pressures mean demand for tine and disc cultivators is increasing again but cultivations to control the weeds ahead of drilling mean less soil movement is wanted during planting,” explained UK general manager Stephen Burcham. “The NT has a wavy disc in front to loosen and well-proven Pronto double-disc coulters behind. Soils can become quite tightly packed in the six weeks or so between the final cultivation pass to control weeds and drilling, and the wavy disc freshens it up to ensure ideal seeding conditions. “The Pronto NT will be a popular choice in the UK and it’s fully available for this season. Combined seed and fertiliser drilling is an option which saves passes and money and means the nutrients are there when the seed needs them.” Pictured with the NT drill are (l-r) Thomas Mold, Stephen Burcham, Chris Chilvers, and Horsch regional sales managers Ben Harrison and Matthew Smith.
Cockfield, Suffolk farmer Neil Simpson of EW Simpson & Partners is pictured with his daughter Jade as Horsch regional sales manager Ben Harrison explains features and benefits of the latest Pronto DC drill. The heavy land mixed farm operates a Lexion combine and grows cereals and sugar beet as well as pigs that are contract fattened. “The Claas and Manns teams are great and look after us well,” said Neil. “It’s very handy having the main depot nearby.”
