High-Capacity Precision Planter

Beat the tight Ohio planting window and eliminate yield-robbing pinch rows. The HORSCH Maestro SP combines massive seed and fertilizer capacity with a pioneering weight transfer system to keep you planting longer while maintaining perfect furrow integrity. Factory-equipped with Precision Planting® technology, this pull-type planter is built to maximize acres per day without sacrificing seed placement.

Why It Matters for Ohio Growers

• Capitalize on Tight Planting Windows: In the Midwest, your ideal planting window is often just 10 to 14 days. With up to 249-bushel seed capacity and 1,940 gallons of liquid fertilizer on board, you spend less time idling at the tender truck and more time putting seed in the ground.
• Eliminate Pinch Row Compaction: Heavy bulk-fill carts usually mean stunted center rows in wet Ohio springs. The Maestro SP uses a hydraulic weight transfer system to shift cart weight evenly across the entire toolbar. Paired with massive, low-PSI floatation tires, it completely eliminates center-row yield drag.
• Perfect Seed Depth in Tough Ground: A stable toolbar means row units aren't bouncing. With up to 770 lbs of hydraulic downforce available per row, double-disc openers maintain a true, perpendicular angle to place seeds exactly into moisture—giving you rapid, uniform emergence in heavy clay or conventional till.

Key Capabilities

• Precision Planting® Integrated: Comes factory-equipped to run on the Gen III 20|20 monitor, utilizing vSet meters, vDrive electric motors, DeltaForce, and optional SpeedTube and CleanSweep.
• Unmatched Liquid & Seed Capacity: The Main Tank Supply System (MTS) scales up to 249 bushels of seed and 1,940 gallons of liquid fertilizer (including dual 250-gallon saddle tanks on the Deluxe model).
• Hydraulic Downforce: Parallelogram design combined with hydraulic downforce eliminates the chatter of spring downforce systems, preserving singulation integrity across changing soil types.
• ISOBUS Compatibility: Control the implement, folding, and basic functions smoothly through your tractor's standard virtual terminal alongside your precision ag monitors.
