UX Special trailed sprayer

Simple and versatile

As an alternative to the ISOBUS terminals, AmaSpray⁺ allows the simple yet fully automatic regulation of the UX Special trailed sprayers. The buttons, integrated in the operator terminal, enable the switching of 5, 7 or 9 part-width sections. AmaSpray⁺ has a digital pressure display and digital tank level indicator. It records the quantity applied and area worked. The hydraulic functions are operated using the spool valves on the tractor. The boom tilt and pendulum lock are also displayed in the AmaSpray⁺. As an option, AmaSpray⁺ enables one-sided folding of the boom or, alternatively, control of the end nozzles.

The benefits:

• Single, high-contrast, backlit screen
• Overall and part-width section on/off
• Up to 9 part-width sections
• Digital pressure indication
• Digital fill-level indicator
• Display of boom position and lock status
• Hectare meter (total and daily counter)
• +/- 10 % key
• Field record management system

Additional functions (with optional equipment):

• Pre-select fold for independent boom folding
• End or boundary nozzle on/off control (alternatively to pre-select fold)
• Fold or tilt via 1 double-acting control valve (electro-hydraulic changeover valve)
• ASD inside: serial interface for documentation and GPS terminal versatility

The perfect supplement

The ProfiClick control box provides simple and precise control over the hydraulic booms and steering functions on the AMAZONE UX Special. The ProfiClick control box is available in combination with the electro-hydraulic Profi-fold 1. All the operational functions of the ProfiClick switchbox are ergonomically arranged and directly linked with a function. The potentiometer for the re-adjustment of boom tilt or for the automatic steering of a trailed sprayer can be controlled on the move without looking thanks to the detent position in the centre. So the driver can concentrate perfectly on driving.

The ProfiClick control box, used for the actuation of the hydraulic functions of an AMAZONE sprayer, can be combined with the AmaSpray⁺ in-cab terminal, the AmaTron 3 operator terminal or with any other ISOBUS terminal. Thus it offers a favourable and comfortable control of the hydraulic functions via an oil circuit. On the tractor, only one single acting spool valve with a pressure-free return flow is required.

One language, many benefits!
Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance:

• International standardisation provides uniform interfaces and data formats, meaning that compatibility with other manufacturers is ensured
• Plug and Play between the machine, tractor and other ISOBUS equipment

AMAZONE machinery and operator terminals offer a range of functions which are very easy and safe to operate.

The benefits:

• Highest compatibility and safety function of your ISOBUS equipment
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machines from AMAZONE come ready-equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functions as standard
• Practice-oriented machine software and logical menu structure
• MiniView display with all AMAZONE terminals and additional ISOBUS terminals. See, for example, the machine data in the map view.
• Possibility of operating the machine via the tractor terminal or a twin terminal solution
• Flexible assignment of the map and machine view between the tractor terminal and the operator terminal
• Unique operation concept. Freely configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver
• Useful additional functions such as automatic boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers
• Integrated Task Controller data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive
• Tailored to the machine
• Function scope above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

If the operating terminal features Section Control, such as, for example, GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the switching of the part-width sections can be carried out completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.

Benefits of automatic part-width section control:

• Stress relief on the driver
• Increase in precision especially at night or at higher speeds
• Fewer overlaps and gaps
• Saving on input costs
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

“With Section Control, the ISOBUS computer relieves the driver from a lot of work.”
(“dlz agrar magazine” – “Test report ZA-TS fertiliser spreader”· 02/2017)

Up to 85 %* less overlap in comparison to conventional Section Control part-width section switching, e. g. on the headland

* Savings are dependent on field structure, boom width and the number of part-width sections

The decisive benefit of individual nozzle control is the possibility to operate with small part-width sections giving an even greater degree of accuracy in wedge shaped fields, short work and on the headland. If AmaSwitch or AmaSelect is combined with the automatic GPS-Switch Section Control, the automatic switching of individual nozzles in 50 cm part-width sections is made possible. With this system, areas of overlap are significantly reduced and are, in comparison with a conventional Section Control part-width section shut-off system, up to 85 % less. So, the combination of GPS-Switch and individual nozzle control results in, depending on field shape and size, the working width and number of part-width sections, significant savings in spray agent compared with a normal spraying system used thus far.

With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.

GPS-Switch basic 

• Automatic part-width section control of up to 16 part-width sections 
• Creation of virtual headlands 
• Automated boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

GPS-Switch pro (as an extension of GPS-Switch basic) 

• Automatic part-width section control with up to 128 part-width sections, in particular for crop protection sprayers with individual nozzle control 
• Marking obstacles (e.g. water holes, pylons) 
• Auto-zoom when approaching the headland 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

Overlaps on the headland or in wedge shaped fields are prevented via precise switching with GPS-Switch.

Special crops and bed work often require the on/off switching of the individual part-width sections in the middle of the boom. AmaClick is an additional ergonomic control unit that can be used either in conjunction with the AmaPilot⁺ multi-function joystick or also as a standalone system alongside an ISOBUS terminal.

Comfortable operation as intuitive as your tablet.
Why not have a terminal that is as intuitive as a tablet or smartphone? With this in mind, AMAZONE developed the highly intuitive and operator-friendly AmaTron 4 which offers a noticeably smoother operation, especially when it comes to job management. AmaTron 4, with its 8" multi-touch colour display, meets the highest demands and offers you maximum user-friendliness. Via a finger swipe or the App carousel, one quickly navigates from application to application and to the clearly and simply structured operator terminal.

New ways of comfortable networked operation

With AmaTron Connect, AMAZONE provides a digital interface to a smartphone or tablet. The mobile device and AmaTron 4 are simply connected as a hotspot. AmaTron Connect enables use of the AmaTron Twin App as well as data exchange via agrirouter and the myAmaRouter App.

AmaTron Twin App – Clear display enhancement
The AmaTron Twin App offers the driver even more comfort in work, as GPS functions in the map view can also be operated via a mobile device, e.g. tablet, in parallel with machine operation in AmaTron 4.

Advantages of the AmaTron Twin display enhancement: 

• Use of an existing mobile device  
• Greater clarity – all applications in view 
• Comfortable control of GPS functions in the map view in parallel via the mobile device 
• Clear, authentic representation of the working machine and its part-width sections

Secure data exchange: agrirouter is an independent data exchange platform for farmers and contractors. It enables simple and cross-manufacturer data exchange between machines and agricultural software applications, thereby reducing administration. The user retains full control over the data at all times.

Benefits of agrirouter:

• Simple data exchange between the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS operator terminal and the manufacturer-independent agrirouter data exchange platform
• Easy and rapid transfer of job and task data without the need for a USB stick
• More flexibility for data exchange and documentation

myAmaRouter App – For the on-line transfer of data between AmaTron 4 and agrirouter
The myAmaRouter App enables data to be exchanged between the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS terminal and the agrirouter, the manufacturer-independent data exchange platform. If an AMAZONE machine is to be used to carry out a task with job data (e.g. application maps), the data can be easily transmitted from a Farm Management Information System (FMIS) to AmaTron 4 via agrirouter and the myAmaRouter App. After the work has been completed, the job can be sent back and is available for documentation in an agricultural software application.
