The Partner FT front hopper line from Horsch is completed by a small double tank, in addition to the current small single tank. Moreover, there will be two new tank capacities for the large double tank, also as a triple tank. Capacity amounts to 1,700 l for the Partner 1.7 FT, 2,100 l for the Partner 2.1 FT and 2,500 l for the Partner 2.5 FT.

The Horsch Partner hopper family offers different combination options with mounted implements. These can be used to apply different products like seed and fertilizer.

Among others, the Partner can be combined with the Maestro RV/RX for single grain seeding or with seed drills like the Express 4 KR, the Avatar 6 SL or the Taro line. In the tillage sector, it can for example be used with the Terrano FX for deep fertilization.

The new generation is equipped with the touch-capable I-Manager operating concept which has already has been proved in the Pronto DC, Versa KR and SW, as well as with some Avatar lines.

Moreover, there will be new equipment options for packers to distribute the weight that is taken along in the front hydraulics in such a way that tractor tracks can be minimized.

Options like the Horsch Partner support kit for the pneumatic piping are already available for the existing front tanks. This kit consists of a flexible attachment arm which can be adjusted flexibly depending on the tractor.

Quick couplers for the pneumatic tubes of the FT facilitate the coupling and uncoupling of the pneumatic hoses of the mounted implements of the front tank. The tool-free and easy handling saves time when it comes to coupling and uncoupling the most different implements.

A small pre-series with the new Partners has been produced already. The new Partner lines will be available in addition to the existing front tanks in 2025.
