The HORSCH Leeb VL sprayer is a state-of-the-art agricultural machine engineered to meet the demands of large-scale farming operations with an emphasis on precision, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Designed to optimize crop protection applications, the Leeb VL combines powerful performance features, cutting-edge boom control technology, and exceptional operator comfort, making it one of the most advanced models in HORSCH’s Leeb series.

Tank Capacity and Pump Performance

The Leeb VL offers three tank options: a 5000/6000 liter polyethylene tank or an 8,000-liter stainless steel tank, allowing farmers to choose based on their field sizes and operational needs. The sprayer's large tank capacity enables extended operational periods between refills, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. The machine is equipped with a 1,000 liters/min pump, providing a high output, maintaining powerful and steady application over extensive field areas. Its working widths of up to 45 meters are ideal for large-scale operations focused on efficient crop coverage.

Robust Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system, featuring a Load Sensing system with an axial piston pump operating at 210 bars and a 320-liter pump capacity, ensures consistent hydraulic power. This powerful setup allows the Leeb VL to support large booms and navigate challenging terrain efficiently.

Enhanced Manoeuvrability

For exceptional manoeuvrability, the Leeb VL is equipped with all-wheel steering and a central tube frame, enabling tight turns with a turning radius of just 5 meters. This precision makes it suitable for both open fields and confined spaces.

Traction Control and Soil Preservation

The Traction Control System (TCS) ensures power distribution across all wheels, providing stability and speed even on uneven or slippery surfaces. Large tires, measuring 2.18 meters in diameter and 71 cm wide, improve ground contact, reducing soil compaction and maintaining crop yield potential.

Comfort Drive Chassis

The Leeb VL’s Comfort Drive chassis offers a smooth, stable ride with hydropneumatic individual wheel suspension and active level regulation. This minimizes operator fatigue by ensuring a car-like driving experience, both in the field and on the road. Parallel suspension ensures optimum weight distribution and boom stability.

Operator-Focused Cabin

The cabin emphasizes operator comfort with a spacious interior, excellent visibility, noise insulation, and dust control. It features air suspension seats with heating and ventilation, automatic climate control, a CAT.IV cabin filter system, and Bluetooth radio, enhancing productivity and reducing operator stress.

HighPowerGear for Difficult Terrains

The HighPowerGear system provides additional power reserves at low speeds, essential for managing steep slopes and rugged landscapes. This ensures traction and stability, making the Leeb VL ideal for farms with challenging terrains.

Advanced BoomControl Technology

One standout feature is its BoomControl system, ensuring the boom remains stable and level at high speeds and over rough terrain. The BoomControl Pro and ProPlus systems further maintain precise boom height, reducing drift, overlap, and enhancing spray consistency. The parallelogram suspension and axle-near placement minimize sway.

Precision and Sustainable Spraying

HORSCH’s GPS-controlled SectionControl system, with up to 42 individual sections, ensures precise spray applications, minimizing overlap and chemical waste. PrecisionSpray technology independently manages boom sections, matching spray rates to crop and field requirements, promoting sustainable farming practices.

Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

In line with HORSCH's sustainability goals, the Leeb VL meets EU Tier 5 emission standards and employs eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Components with environmental certifications, including EU Ecolabel and Cradle-to-Cradle printing inks, align the sprayer with modern sustainability standards.

Conclusion

The HORSCH Leeb VL sprayer is designed for large-scale, high-precision applications, meeting diverse farming needs efficiently. Its extensive features, comfort-focused cabin, advanced technologies, and sustainability focus exemplify HORSCH’s innovation in agricultural technology.
