Description – SW (Seed Wagon)
The HORSCH SW (Seed Wagon) has been specially design for use with other HORSCH equipment and
seeders.
The wagon can be hitched up either in the front of the seeder directly to the tractor or behind the seeder.
The Drill Management ISO Bus system controls and monitors the metering devices (seed & dry fertilizer
application), liquid fertilizer pump, hydraulic control block and all corresponding sensors.
The seed or fertilizer is metered out of the pressure tank(s) and in to the venture tubes via the metering
units according to the cellular roller size, speed and computer settings.
A hydraulic fan provides the required air flow to feed the product from the venture through the air duct
hoses to the openers.
Depending upon the soil type and individual requirements for accurate seed placement, it is possible to
sow seed sizes of 0.04 – 0.4” at a speed of 3.10 – 9.32 mph.
• Grain: Wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, sorghum, rice.
• Large Seeds: Corn, peas, beans, soybeans, sunflowers.
• Small Seeds: Grass, clover, alfalfa, rapeseed.
Seed Tank
The Seed tank is divided in to three separate compartments for a SW600 model machine, with a total
volume of 600 bushels; 210bu, 90bu and 300bu. The compartments are pressurized and must always
be kept closed and airtight in order to avoid malfunctions.
Each compartment has a metering unit and a large lid opening on the top.
To open the tank lid, press the release on the inside of the lever. Further information on the seed tank
and lids are noted in the following section on the next page.
Axle
The seed wagon is fitted with an adjustable track system. The track adjusts only for tension and
alignment for proper toe, trailing and travel, and cushioning.
The seed wagon is equipped with a hydraulic over accumulator system that applies pressure to the track
tensioning cylinders.
For further information on the track system see the Service & Maintenance section in this Owner’s
Manual.
The SW600 can also be optioned for installed Dual Tires system.
