Wear-Resistant Shares for HORSCH Cultivators: New Options for Shallow and Deep Tillage

HORSCH is expanding and more clearly structuring its range of wear-resistant working tools for cultivators. This is not about just one separate part, but about a complete system of shares and wings that can be selected depending on tillage depth, mixing intensity, and field conditions. In its official materials, the manufacturer directly names the following options: TerraCut wing HM, MulchMix wing, MulchMix wing HM, MulchMix point, MulchMix point HM, MulchMix point HM Plus, Point LD, Point LD Plus, and Point ULD Plus. HORSCH also notes that with this set, the cultivator can be adjusted for almost the full range of working depths - from very shallow cutting at 3 - 4 cm to primary soil cultivation.

1. What the New Range Is About

The main idea behind the HORSCH concept is to offer farms not a “one-share-fits-all” solution, but a set of options for different agronomic and technical tasks. For shallow full-surface cultivation, the company offers the TerraCut wing HM. For intensive mixing of crop residues and more versatile operation across different soil horizons, there is the MulchMix family. For deep loosening and breaking compacted layers, there are the narrow LD and ULD series shares. This approach makes it possible to change the working character of the cultivator without switching to another machine - simply by selecting the right working tool geometry.

Special attention should also be paid to the HM and HM Plus versions. In HORSCH nomenclature, these designations indicate increased wear resistance, and the concept behind these tools is aimed at a longer service life under demanding conditions - especially in abrasive soils and under heavy load. In practical terms, this means not only a longer working life, but also more stable share geometry during operation, which directly affects the quality of loosening, cutting, and soil mixing.

2. Which Cultivators These Shares Fit

According to official HORSCH materials, the basic set of wings and shares in this series is directly specified for the Terrano 5 - 7 FM, Terrano FX, Tiger AS, and Tiger SL cultivators. These are the machines that the manufacturer presents as the main carriers of the TerraCut wing HM, MulchMix wing, MulchMix point, and deep-loosening Point LD / ULD Plus range. This is important because compatibility here is confirmed directly by the manufacturer itself, not assumed from secondary sources.

In addition, in related official HORSCH materials, the same range or part of it is also listed for the Fortis AS, Fortis LT, Terrano GX, Tiger MT, and Terrano MT. For the Fortis AS and Fortis LT, a wide selection of both wings and shares is specified, including HM and Plus versions. For the Terrano MT, the manufacturer places separate emphasis on wingless share configurations - MulchMix point, MulchMix point HM, MulchMix point HM Plus, Point LD, Point LD Plus, and Point ULD Plus - which logically matches the purpose of this machine for combining top-layer mixing with deeper loosening.

3. Brief Overview of Compatible Models

HORSCH Terrano 5 - 7 FM is a heavy-duty universal cultivator with a working width of 4.8 - 7 m, tine spacing of 28 cm, frame height of 750 mm, and a release force of 570 kg. This machine is designed for a wide range of tasks, so an extended choice of shares is entirely logical for it.

HORSCH Terrano FX has a working width of 3.00 - 5.00 m, tine spacing of 30 cm, frame height of 850 mm, and a release force of 550 kg. The manufacturer positions this model as a cultivator with a very broad application range, which is why modular share selection is especially relevant for it.

HORSCH Tiger AS is a machine designed for intensive cultivation and deep loosening. Official specifications include a working width of 3 - 7.5 m, transport width of 3 m, tine spacing of 23 cm, and frame height of 850 mm. This is exactly where wear-resistant narrow shares are especially useful for deeper work and breaking compaction.

HORSCH Tiger SL is a more compact three-point cultivator with a working width of 3.00 m, tine spacing of 23 cm, and frame height of 850 mm. According to HORSCH, it is suitable for working depths of up to 35 cm, so it can operate both in intensive mixing mode and in deeper tillage mode.

HORSCH Fortis LT and Fortis AS have tine spacing of 27 cm and a frame height of 850 mm. The working width of the Fortis LT is 4.60 - 6.70 m, while the Fortis AS covers 5.60 - 8.90 m. The manufacturer also includes these models in the list of machines for which the relevant wings and shares are available.

HORSCH Terrano MT occupies a special place in this range. It has a working width of 4.4 - 6 m, tine spacing of 40 cm, frame height of 850 mm, and a release force of 500 kg. For this model, HORSCH separately highlights share configurations without wings, which fits well with the machine’s intended role - mixing in the upper layer and loosening deeper below.

This HORSCH development is important above all because the manufacturer is focusing not just on spare parts, but on a complete system of working tools for different tillage scenarios. For farmers, this means more precise cultivator setup for a specific task: shallow full-surface cutting, intensive mixing of crop residues, or deep loosening. And the use of wear-resistant HM and HM Plus versions adds a practical benefit in the form of a longer service life for the working tools.
