FAQs About Horsch Sprayers
How does a trailed sprayer work?
Horsch Trailed Sprayers are towed behind a tractor, hitched to the drawbar or hitch point. Using the tractor’s power and control systems, trailed sprayers are designed to deliver efficient, high-capacity crop protection over medium to large areas.
How does a self-propelled sprayer work?
A self-propelled sprayer is a fully integrated machine with its own engine, cab, and spray system, built for fast, precise application. It features an automated tank, and hydraulic booms with auto-height control along with GPS and section control to ensure accuracy, delivering large scale spraying without the need of a tractor.
What is a 3-point sprayer?
A 3-point sprayer is a compact solution that attached directly to a tractor’s 3-point hitch, making it ideal for small farms or fields where manoeuvrability is key. Horsch’s 3-point hitch features a spray tank and boom or nozzles. While smaller than a trailed or self-propelled sprayers, it’s flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and precision make it a practical solution for smaller-scale operations.
