Catros⁺ 12003-2TS trailed compact disc harrow

Catch crop sowing and soil tillage in one operational pass

AMAZONE offers the GreenDrill catch crop seeder box so that catch crops can be applied directly or together with the soil tillage operation. It can be combined with the Catros, CatrosXL and Certos compact disc harrows as well as the Cenius mulch cultivator, the KG rotary cultivator or the KE rotary harrow. The seed is distributed evenly by the spreader plates.

The GreenDrill seed hopper holds 200 l or alternatively 500 l and is easily accessed via the loading steps provided. In the metering system below the seed hopper, a seed shaft is fitted with normal or fine seed wheels depending on the seed type and desired application rate. The drive to the seed shaft is electric and that of the blower fan either electric or hydraulic.

The top benefits

• Sowing catch crops and fine seeds simultaneously with stubble cultivation or soil tillage
• Various different metering rolls are available
• Wide distribution via baffle plates
• Easily accessible via access steps
• Modern in-cab operating terminal computer in two levels of equipment

For the control of the seeder, two computer versions are available with differences in the level of operational comfort. In its basic format, the seed shaft and the blower fan as well as the rotational speed of the seed shaft can be adjusted via the 3.2 in-cab terminal. In the Comfort execution, the 5.2 terminal offers an additional selection menu to assist in the calibration test and to indicate the forward speed, the finished area and the working hours. The seed shaft speed automatically matches to the changing forward speeds if the on-board computer is connected to the 7-pin tractor signal socket.

Combine the Catros with the optimum seeding system ... it makes no difference whether it’s the GreenDrill, XTender or FTender

The universal conveying system enables the Catros to be combined with different sowing systems. For example, the GreenDrill 501 with a hopper capacity of 500 l can be used in exactly the same way as the front or rear hoppers with a capacity of 1,600 to 4,200 l. In addition to catch crops, other seeds or even mineral fertilisers such as micro-granules can be applied.
