HORSCH has launched the new Fortis LT, expanding its successful range of universal cultivators.
Designed for medium-sized farms, the Fortis LT is made for tractors with up to 500 hp and comes in four working widths, ranging from 4.60m to 6.75m. It offers flexibility for both shallow and deep cultivation, working at depths of up to 30cm.
Built with strength and efficiency in mind, the Fortis LT meets the demands of modern tractors and heavy crop residues. The robust 4-bar frame, combined with 27cm tine spacing and 85cm frame height, ensures a large clearance for smooth operation without blockages. This design allows for a strong mixing effect and reliable incorporation of materials during soil preparation.
The Fortis LT features HORSCH’s proven TerraGrip tine system, designed with large shaft radii for lower power requirements. Compared to the existing Fortis AS model, the LT version is shorter and more compact, improving handling and manoeuvrability.
One standout feature is the positioning of the levelling tools close to the final tine row. This design guides the soil flow directly into the levelling discs, resulting in improved levelling and soil finish. The chassis is located outside the working area, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with soil movement or performance.
HORSCH offers several customisation options to suit different farming needs. The well-known MulchMix coulter system is compatible with a variety of coulter and wing types, increasing the machine's versatility. Farmers can also choose from a wide range of packer options, depending on soil type and conditions.
The angle of the double packers can be adjusted using HORSCH’s unique aluminium clip system, which is a standout feature in this class of equipment. This adjustment lets users set the right contact pressure for the packer roller, improving soil consolidation in dry weather and load-bearing in wetter conditions. It ensures better results and stability across different field conditions.
With its compact build, strong performance, and flexible setup, the Fortis LT is a practical solution for medium-power tractors. It brings together proven technology with new features to meet the evolving demands of modern agriculture.
