Schwandorf, Germany - HORSCH Maschinen GmbH., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has confirmed that its Leeb Xeric 14 FS pneumatic fertilizer spreader will enter series production for the 2026 season, following further development and extensive field testing after its debut at Agritechnica 2023. The new model introduces updated features, expanded working widths, and enhanced precision technology to optimize fertilizer application.
The Xeric 14 FS is now available in 36 m, 39 m, and 48 m working widths, offering farmers greater flexibility. With a 14 m³ capacity, the machine enables quick filling, long spreading times, and operational speeds up to 20 km/h, providing efficiency within tight fertilizer application windows. A new optional tyre pressure regulation system has also been added, allowing automatic adjustment of tyre pressure while driving, reducing ground pressure and extending application periods.
The Xeric delivers precise fertilizer distribution with its BoomControl system, which keeps the boom stable at 150 cm and adapts to terrain for accurate application. Its PrecisionCalibrationSystem ensures fast, reliable calibration by weighing fertilizer via augers and a metering box, with additional augers allowing adjustments for different types, rates, and speeds.
The Xeric offers 12-section metering, with optional PrecisionSpread Pro for curve compensation and PrecisionSpread Pro Plus for variable rate control per section. Fertilizer enters the air stream by gravity and is evenly distributed through pipes, minimizing wear and operational costs.
Built on the proven Leeb 12 TD tandem axle chassis, the Xeric 14 FS features optimized vertical load distribution and active steering on both axles with up to 28° steering angle. This ensures precise track following, crop protection, and compatibility with tyres up to 2.19 m in diameter.
With its high capacity, advanced control systems, and durable design, the Horsch Leeb Xeric 14 FS sets a new standard for efficient, precise fertilizer application in modern farming.
