Description
Inside the HORSCH factory in Landau an der Isar, Germany 🇩🇪, see how a giant HORSCH Leeb self-propelled crop protection sprayer is assembled—from its chassis and FPT diesel engine to the liquid system, wheels and folding boom.
This independently produced 40-minute factory documentary follows the real production sequence inside the assembly plant. Different HORSCH Leeb machines and customer-specific configurations can be seen progressing through the production line.
The film covers the chassis and rear undercarriage, rear lifting frame, parallelogram linkage, boom-damping hydraulics, hydraulic valve block and hose routing. It then follows the FPT diesel engine and hydraulic pump assembly, engine installation and Stage V exhaust aftertreatment.
The liquid-system assembly includes the induction-centre valve manifold, filters, swivelling induction hopper, fresh-water tank, spraying mixture container, control units, hoses and circuit connections.
You will also see steering and wheel-alignment setup, wheel and tyre installation, protective wheel housings, lighting checks, and the assembly of the boom spray lines, nozzles and pneumatic controls. The completed folding boom is then checked during a clean-water functional test.
TESTING NOTE:
Only clean water is used during every spraying demonstration shown in this film. No crop protection products are used.
This documentary was filmed with authorised access as an independent media production. It records the actual work observed during our factory visit, without staged assembly scenes. "Cars garage media" is an independent media YT channels group, and this is not an official HORSCH promotional film.
