When it comes to sowing Horsch’s teacher, Ciprian Ion has a lot to say:

«At sowing with an empty system (models with letter V), the seed is absorbed on the disc through the void and when the seed leaves from the disc, it comes in free fall in the place where it is put on the ground. To the vacuum cleaner, the working speed reaches up to 14 km/hour.

To sowing with a system by overpressure – in a popular language, «shooting», (models with letter x), half of the air flow blows on the disc and the other half of the air flow blows the seed in the wake, when the disc made the complete rotation, thus winning the speed. In these models, the working speed increases up to 15-18 km/hour.»

Of the over 400 units of Horsch sold on the Romanian market, in 2021, about 50 sowers were Master of Horsch.
