Horsch Leeb

Precision Application Engineering

The defining technical edge of the Horsch Leeb lies in its BoomControl system. Unlike conventional mechanical dampers, this solution utilizes active hydraulics coupled with ultrasound sensors. This allows the boom to maintain a constant, minimal height of 30–50 cm above the crop or soil, significantly reducing chemical drift and ensuring uniform coverage even when operating at high field speeds.

Fluid Dynamics and System Efficiency

The core of the spray system is the CCS (Continuous Cleaning System). It ensures constant circulation of the spray liquid throughout the entire circuit, effectively eliminating "dead zones" and chemical residues. This is vital when switching between different crop protection products to avoid phytotoxicity. The variable-displacement pump system reacts instantly to speed variations, maintaining precise application rates regardless of the tractor's velocity.

Critical Design Advantages:

• Section control (25–50 cm increments): Prevents overlaps during headland turns, reducing input waste by up to 10%.
• Stable chassis and suspension: Engineered for uneven terrain, the suspension geometry keeps the booms stable at speeds exceeding 15 km/h, preventing oscillations.
• Tank geometry: The polyethylene tank features optimized bottom shaping and ultra-smooth internal surfaces, ensuring complete drainage and simplified cleaning cycles.

Horsch Leeb represents a shift from general spraying to precision agriculture. By integrating seamlessly with farm management systems and GPS guidance, it transforms fluid application into a data-driven, highly efficient operational process.
