German manufacturer Horsch has introduced the new Leeb FT front tank, that mounts to a tractor’s 3-point linkage and offers additional spraying capacity.

Available in 1,200 litre and 1,800 litre capacities, the Leeb 1.2 FT and 1.8 FT complement the brand’s recently launched Leeb CS rear-mounted sprayer, but will obviously also work with other brands of sprayer.

Designed with compact dimensions and an optimised centre of gravity, when combined with the rear CS unit, the combination offers up to 4,000 litres of spraying capacity in a highly flexible and manoeuvrable format. The FT uses a standard coupling triangle to ensure short set-up times and easy handling without the need to manually couple hydraulic lines.

The FT Basic can also be used as an additional water tank with a 2” suction line towards the rear of the tank, without agitator and cleaning, and can be combined with all trailed Leeb models.

The higher specification Leeb FT Pro is completely integrated into the software and the water circuit of the Leeb CS and features its own agitator and cleaning.

Featuring ISOBUS control with an intuitive interface, the Leeb FT has lighting integrated in the front tank and an optional camera system for a better overview of the space in front of the machine.
