British manufacturer Horizon made its U.S. debut at the National No-Tillage Conference last month in St. Louis. The company makes seeding and planting equipment designed specifically for no-till and strip-till systems. In just 5 years, they’ve already sold machines in 40 countries, and now they’re breaking into the North American market. Charlie Eaton gives us an up-close look at one of their new seeding units.

Charlie Eaton, Sales & Marketing Director, Horizon Ag“This is our Gen 3 DSX row unit. We launched this row unit about a year ago and it’s been really well received. What we’re striving to achieve here is to do a fantastic job of managing the challenges of no-till. That would be residue management at the front, cutting into and penetrating hard, heavy soils, accurately placing seed and nutrition and then closing the slot in the back. Those are the 4 main challenges that we’re trying to overcome with this drill. I won’t go into all the details of it but if you take a look at our website, or get in touch with me and my colleagues, we’ll talk you through everything on it.”
