Manufacturer in Focus – Horizon Agriculture
As the shift toward regenerative and low-disturbance farming continues to accelerate, Horizon Agricultural Machinery has remained at the forefront of equipment innovation. Based in Lincolnshire and exporting to over 30 countries, Horizon designs and manufactures quality, reliable machinery and components that address agronomic issues whilst at the same time increasing efficiency and productivity.
2025 marks another major milestone in our development, with the launch of three key innovations: the compact but capable 3m DSX, the high-output 9m MDSX, and RotorFlex — a precision peristaltic liquid pump developed by our sister company Regenovation. Each of these launches reflects our commitment to supporting regenerative agriculture through practical, forward-thinking technology.
The 3-4m DSX – Compact Capability Without Compromise
Developed in direct response to customer demand, the new 3-4m DSX brings the performance of our flagship trailed drill into a more compact, highly manoeuvrable format. Ideal for smaller farms or those with tight access and varied field sizes, the 3-4m DSX retains the same Gen 3 row unit used across our larger DSX platforms. With a 4000L 60/40 split hopper, an optional third 250L micro-granular hopper, and configurations to suit a wide range of cropping systems, the 3-4m DSX offers industry leading performance in a format better suited to more challenging terrain or transport restrictions.
Despite its compact frame, the drill is packed with the same advanced technology and modular design found across the DSX range. The 3-4m DSX is available in 3m or 4m working widths, and supports row spacings of 16.7cm, 18.75cm, 20cm and 25cm. We can also offer 560mm or 710mm rear flotation tyres, with an optional 750L rear mounted liquid nutrition tank.
Perfectly suited to mixed farms, contractors with customers in hard-to-access areas, or anyone seeking true no-till capability in a compact drill, the 3m DSX is proving popular with customers, with several already in the field.
The 9m MDSX – High Output, Low Disturbance, Three-Point Mounted
The MDSX platform has proved extremely popular since its launch, thanks to its combination of lightweight design, three-point linkage simplicity, and Horizon’s proven Gen 3 row unit. Until now, the MDSX has only been available up to 6m wide — but 2025 sees the introduction of our new 7.5m, 8m, and 9m MDSX platform, expanding its appeal to large-scale farms and contractors looking for high-output drilling in a mounted format.
Despite its wide working widths, this new platform only requires 25hp per meter, and has a transport size of less than 3m wide and 4m tall thanks to a three section toolbar design. With the same frame modularity and row unit options as the rest of the MDSX line, our 7.5-9m version is fully configurable to meet a wide range of cropping and operating needs. It supports both 22cm and 25cm row spacings, and can be fitted with stabiliser wheels and wing weights. We also offer a weight transfer kit, which is able to transfer any weight from 0-1200kg directly from the tractor to the MDSX frame.
Like all MDSX drills, it can be used in combination with the Horizon FT2200, a pressurised 2200L hopper split 60/40 with dual metering systems. The frame supports a rear mounted GH400 hopper for microgranular products, or alternatively an optional rear mounted 750L liquid nutrition tank. Whether working in CTF systems, delayed drilling or across mixed field conditions, the 9m MDSX delivers the performance and customisability of a large trailed drill, with the manoeuvrability and simplicity of a mounted platform.
RotorFlex – Precision Liquid Application, Made Simple
Developed by our sister company Regenovation, RotorFlex is a next-generation peristaltic pump system designed specifically with regenerative farming in mind.The robust peristaltic mechanism means RotorFlex is able to pump a wide variety of liquids, including highly viscous fluids such as molasses, or compost teas with particulates. RotorFlex requires no valves, seals or filters, is self priming and capable of running dry, and extremely accurate with repeatable flow rates that are very easy to control and calibrate.
RotorFlex integrates seamlessly with Horizon machinery— including the DSX and MDSX platforms — and can also be used as a standalone system or retrofitted to third-party equipment. Its compact size, modular design, and easy-to-service layout make it ideal for farmers looking to introduce or expand liquid inputs into their cropping system without adding complexity.
Looking Ahead
As Horizon continues to grow, our focus remains on delivering practical, performance-driven solutions for farmers who are looking to improve their soils, boost efficiency, and future-proof their operations.
Whether through our DSX and MDSX no-till drills, PPX precision planters, SPX strip till cultivators or upcoming innovations, we are committed to developing equipment that reflects real-world farming needs, supported by expert service and an expanding global dealer network.
