The Horizon DSX 60-16 is a precision seed drill designed for large-scale arable farming. Seed drills are tractor-mounted implements used to sow cereal and small-seeded crops across wide working widths at controlled depths and spacing, making them essential equipment for efficient field establishment.
This machine is a demo unit manufactured in 2022, with a recorded operating history of 639 hectares. The DSX 60-16 features a working width of 6.0 metres across 36 individual rows spaced 16.67 centimetres apart, enabling consistent crop establishment over large areas in a single pass. The transport width is 3.0 metres and transport height is 3.78 metres, with an overall length of 7.5 metres, making it manageable for road haulage. The machine weighs 7,594 kilograms and requires approximately 180–220 horsepower from the tractor.
The dual hopper system has a combined capacity of 4,700 litres, divided in a 60:40 ratio to 2,800 litres and 1,900 litres respectively, allowing simultaneous application of different seed types or treatments. Working speed is 8–12 kilometres per hour. The drill incorporates pneumatic rear-wheel gauge control for precise depth adjustment without tools, and individual hydraulic pressure application to each row nozzle ensures uniform seed placement. Each row is fitted with individual diffusers for accurate seed metering, and the machine is equipped with rear work lights for visibility.
The hydraulic fan drive, hydraulic braking system, and Category III hitch coupling are standard features. The drill is controlled via ISObus protocol, compatible with TopCon ISObus terminals for full integration with modern farm management systems. Hitch category is Category III.
