Catros⁺-2 mounted compact disc harrows

Discs for the Catros

The discs for the Catros and Certos are made of high-strength steel and cut using a special process, meaning that they are robust, durable and sharp. Long-lasting.

Catros⁺ discs – for more intensive mixing

• Disc diameter of 510 mm
• Disc thickness of 5 mm
• Working depths from 5 to 14 cm
• Profile: smooth, fine serrated or coarse serrated
• Particularly suitable for fast, shallow and intensive cultivation of cereal stubbles, seedbed preparation or the incorporation of catch crops or organic fertiliser
• Universally usable for more intensive incorporation with aggressive operation

• Working depth from 5 – 14 cm

Maximum shredding capacity and mixing intensity for the Catros⁺ compact disc harrow

X-Cutter disc
The new X-Cutter disc has a diameter of 480 mm for a high peripheral speed and performs optimally at working depths from 2 to 8 cm. Thanks to the special wavy profile, the discs maintain that full-surface cultivation across the entire working width, even at these very shallow working depths. The special disc profile produces an intensive movement of the full-surface area and is sure to impress with its high mixing intensity close to the surface that generates faster rotting. This provides optimum conditions for the following crop.

Optimum shallow chopping and mixing
Very shallow tillage plays an increasingly important role when it comes to carefully managing the water balance in the soil. Shallow tillage significantly reduces the loss through evaporation of valuable soil moisture, particularly in hot and dry summers. Much less soil is moved than with other discs, which need to operate at much greater depths to move the full soil surface.

Optimum use in combination with the knife roller
All Catros⁺ models can be equipped with the X-Cutter disc. Combining the X-Cutter disc with the knife roller provides a multi-dimensional cutting profile, thereby increasing the longitudinal and lateral shredding intensity in stubbles, straw and catch crops.

No lubrication ever again – thanks to the maintenance-free disc bearings 
With no need to lubricate the disc bearings, this results in a significantly reduced overall maintenance time. The face seal has been used in AMAZONE tillage equipment for almost 25 years, and has, over this period, more than proven itself across every continent.

Advantages of the disc element

• Maintenance-free disc bearings with face seals and life-long lubrication
• Maintenance-free overload protection via rubber spring elements
• Individual disc suspension for optimised contour following and excellent through passage

Aggressively angled discs

The Catros⁺ and CatrosXL discs are mounted especially aggressively with an angle of 17° for the front row of discs and 14° for the rear row of discs. This ensures a smooth transfer of the soil/organic matter mix from the first to the second row of discs and results in first-class mixing of soil and plant material. Compared with flat angled discs, the discharge angle in this aggressive disc arrangement is noticeably smaller. In this way, the moved soil/organic matter mix is redeposited on the soil surface well ahead of the rear roller.

Perfect – individually suspended discs 

On all models, be it a Catros⁺, Catros^XL or Certos, each individual disc is suspended from the frame on elastic sprung rubber buffer blocks. This is much better than in implements with double disc suspension, as each concave disc can individually follow the ground contours and avoid any obstacles. Consistent shallow soil tillage is therefore possible, even on uneven or stony ground. The individually suspended discs also improve the through-passage of large quantities of organic matter.

Reliable and absolutely maintenance-free!

The elastic rubber spring elements which suspend each disc not only serve to aid perfect adaptation to the ground contours but also as an overload protection system for the individual discs. The large-dimensioned sprung rubber buffer blocks are maintenance-free and feature a long spring deflection that provides you with peace of mind, even in stony ground.
