A Horsch Pronto 6 KE is a seed drill, a precision planting machine manufactured by Horsch, a recognised German producer of agricultural machinery for cereal and row-crop cultivation. Seed drills are designed to place seed at controlled depths and spacing in prepared soil, enabling uniform crop establishment across large areas with minimal labour and seed waste.
This 2006 model features a working width of 6 metres, allowing efficient coverage of ground in a single pass. The machine is equipped with a hydraulically-operated transport fold system for roadway travel and storage. A rotary harrow and prismatic roller prepare the seedbed ahead of the drilling mechanisms, while a removable support foot stabilises the machine during operation. The unit is towed via a drawbar eye and coupling system.
Seed placement is executed through double-disc coulters, which cut individual furrows in the soil. Pre-emergence line marking is fitted to guide the driver for the next pass, with hydraulically-controlled row marking. A pneumatic gauge wheel system and hydraulic adjustment of seed metering allow precise depth and seeding rate control. A 550/60-22.5 tyre-based packer roller firms the soil after seeding, and intermediate inter-row packers are also provided.
The seed hopper incorporates a lockable cover and is fitted with hydraulic metering controls. Access to the machine is provided by an integral step ladder. Work lighting comprises LED units powered by the tractor. A Horsch operator terminal is mounted on the frame for electronic control and monitoring of seed metering. Rubber pressure rollers are included for additional consolidation capability. The machine is equipped with headland marking, headland switching, and a complete pneumatic tramline-marker system.
The machine is located in Demmin, Germany, and is offered in used condition.
