Description
DIRECT / NO-TILL SEEDING AS A FOUNDATION OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE
WHAT STANDS BEHIND THE HORIZON AGRICULTURE BRAND?
“Our vision starts with the soil. At Horizon, we believe that as farmers we must properly preserve, maintain, and regenerate our soil. This philosophy underpins everything we do. We are committed to producing innovative products that promote soil regeneration while helping farmers improve productivity, yields, and profitability.”
George Sly’s passion for agronomy and his active commitment to promoting better soil health through regenerative agriculture principles are the driving force behind the launch of his own business in 2006. The 300-hectare family farm in Lincolnshire, England, forms the foundation of the company’s operations, providing a platform for essential on-farm research, the results of which inform and contribute to product development.
In 2019, Sly Agri was rebranded as Horizon Agricultural Machinery Ltd, focusing on the production of innovative agricultural machinery that supports regenerative and sustainable farming.
The Horizon DSX is a flagship direct drill. Designed and developed through generations of hands-on experience combined with the latest technological innovations, it enables farmers to place seeds precisely into the ideal growing environment with minimal disturbance to soil structure.

The most technologically advanced row unit on the market
Gen 3 Row Unit
-
Consistent seed placement in a variety of soil types and applications, and requires very little horsepower.
-
4cm narrower and 25kg lighter than our previous design, allowing even narrower row spacings and lighter machinery.
-
Features a reinforced parallelogram which makes the row unit stiffer whilst also able to travel 37cm for contour following.
-
Improved optional pneumatic row cleaner, now mounted on its own independent parallelogram extremely close to the disk to ensure debris cannot fall into the slot.
-
The Gen 3 row unit now clamps onto the toolbar, making the row unit even stiffer whilst allowing easier row spacing adjustment or removal.
-
New cast seed boot with tungsten carbide tile, dramatically increased durability whilst featuring a spring loaded design that automatically compensates for wear.
-
Same extremely successful undercut disc design with accurate depth control.
Pressurized Split Hopper
The DSX features a 4700l main pressurized hopper, split 60/40. Each hopper has its own metering unit, which enables the selective seeding of two different products. The hoppers are sealed with their own individual lids.
To expand capacity and distribute additional products, our 400l GH400 mini hopper can be fitted to the front, rear or both front and rear of the machine. Each GH400 features their own metering system.
Row Spacing
Range of options for any application.
The 4-7.2m supports row spacings of 15cm, 16.7cm, 18.7cm, 20cm and 25cm. Thanks to the profiled toolbar and clamping mechanism on each row unit, the row spacings we can offer are extremely flexible with virtually any spacing possible as long as it is wider than our minimum spacing.
The clamping mechanism also means that operators can always adjust their spacings if needed, as each row unit is only held on by two M16 bolts.
Stabilizer Wheels
The 4-7.2m DSX does not feature contour following wings, as the DSX row units are mounted on independent parallelograms with 37cm of travel. Optional stabilizer wheels can be used on wider working widths to keep the DSX wings parallel to the ground on undulating terrain, assisting the row units to contour follow and ensuring consistent and accurate depth control.
Modular, upgradable design.
The 4 / 4.8 / 6 / 6.4 and 7.2 meter DSX drill models utilize a modular frame design, enabling our customers to easily expand the width of their machine should they need to cover a greater area in the future.
Liquid Fertilizer Application
Modular systems bespoke to your needs.
We offer a range of liquid fertilizer options depending on the farmers nutrition requirements, including a rear mounted 1500l tank for our trailed DSX. Our tanks come complete with electric or hydraulic pumps, pipework and Wilger flow indicators that are easily expanded to suit a variety of machine configurations. Liquid fertilizer
Seeding Configurations
With the Horizon DSX direct seeder, you can apply up to 4 different types of seeds/microgranules and one type of liquid fertilizer simultaneously. You can choose between placing the different products together in all rows (seeds and fertilizers), switching off 50% of the devices, and using different rows for different products (for sowing intermediate and cover crops with small or large seeds).
