Horsch Launches the Finer XL — a Trailed Spring-Tine Cultivator for Ultra-Shallow Tillage

German tillage specialist Horsch continues to expand its light spring-tine lineup. The new Finer XL builds on the mounted Finer SL series and, for the first time, comes as a trailed unit, opening fresh opportunities for Ukrainian growers.

Key Technical Highlights of the Finer XL

• Working widths: 7 m and 8 m (additional versions in the pipeline).
• Working depth: 2–10 cm, ideal for both stubble cultivation and seed-bed preparation.
• Six-bar frame with 15 cm tine spacing and 52 cm under-frame clearance for clog-free residue flow.
• Interchangeable tines — 5 cm standard points or 20 cm wing shares for full-width weed undercutting.
• Consistent depth control: front gauge wheels plus single or double packer keep depth uniform even with medium-horsepower tractors.

How the Finer XL Complements Horsch’s Current Range

The mounted Finer SL (5–8 m, three-point-linkage) has proven its worth for ultra-shallow cultivation, mechanical weed control and seed-bed finishing. The trailed Finer XL addresses two critical needs:

1. Lower tractor power requirement — the running gear lets 7- and 8-metre models pair with mid-class tractors.
2. Year-round versatility — from first-pass stubble management to spring cultivation and inter-row weeding, one machine covers the entire shallow-tillage spectrum.

Why It Matters for Ukrainian Farms

Demand for low-depth, fuel-saving tillage is rising as farmers seek to cut diesel costs while curbing herbicide use. The Finer XL meets these challenges through:

• Low draft force — spring tines work the topsoil without wicking moisture from deeper layers.
• High work-rate — the 8 m model covers 7 ha / h at 10–12 km / h.
• Modular options — packers, harrows and the MiniDrill small-seed kit let users tailor the machine to their system.
