In addition to the already comprehensive following roller programme, AMAZONE also offers for Cenius-2TX and Ceus-2TX a double tine harrow. Instead of the targeted reconsolidation of the soil via the following roller, the double tine harrow, on the contrary, ensures that the crop residues are more evenly distributed and that the surface is optimally levelled. In the spring, the double tine harrow makes shallow operation possible and thus ensures a quicker warming and drying of the soil. Thanks to the universal and flexible application possibilities of Cenius-2TX and the Ceus-2TX, these are the perfect all-rounders on any farm.

• Changing over to the double tine harrow is simple, and works in the same way as either the changing over or the mounting or demounting of the following roller because the same roller frame is used.

The double harrow and duckfoot shares are the ideal combination for mechanical weed control and shallow soil tillage. Any capping of the upper 1 to 2 cm of the surface, for instance after rain, is broken up and thus the soil is aerated. Weed and disease carryover is improved because the double tine harrow leaves the grown weeds on the soil surface which then dry out. In this way, any impairment in the crop growth is minimised and the application of crop protection agents is reduced accordingly.

Why work shallow?

• The soil is loosened near to the surface so that the aeration of the soil, and thus the root growth, is increased
• A higher activity of the micro-organisms is promoted and thus nutrients are mobilised
• Minimising any evaporation of water in the soil 

On all Cenius, the depth setting of the levelling system is carried out quickly, safely and without tools via two spindles. To further improve the operational performance and the level of comfort, AMAZONE now also offers the hydraulic adjustment of the levelling unit. In this way the complete adjustment of the Cenius is possible from the tractor cab. The hydraulic adjustment provides maximum comfort and operational safety. Via the clearly visible scale, the current working depth of the levelling discs is visible from the tractor seat so that a simple and quick adjustment on the move is possible.

The position of the trailing discs or the spring levelling tines for crumbling and levelling is adjusted centrally via the setting spindle, again without the use of tools. Adjustable side elements enable the clean matching up to the next bout.

Top-class levelling of the worked soil horizon is the basic requirement for an even reconsolidation. This is why, mounted behind the tine rows, an additional levelling system is attached. Available here is a choice of spring steel closers or smooth and serrated levelling discs.

To ensure a clean matching to the next bout, the side discs and outer spring steel closers are adjustable in their height and angle.

When used on areas with light soil and low straw content, the Cenius can be equipped with the more cost-effective spring steel closers.

These spring steel closers are lighter than the levelling discs and feature a spring steel overload safety device. For an optimum matching up at either side, either the adjustable outer spring elements, or the lower-cost rigid outer closers are available.

For use in medium to heavy soils, levelling discs behind the tines are recommended.

The serrated 460 mm diameter levelling discs have a powerful mixing effect and provide a 
consistent drive, even where there are large amounts of straw.

The individual concave discs are mounted via elastic sprung rubber buffer blocks and thus feature a maintenance-free overload safety device. The bearings of the discs are, of course, maintenance-free.

With no need to lubricate the disc bearings, this results in a significantly reduced overall maintenance time. Face seals have been used for decades in road construction equipment where rollers on the running gear of caterpillar-tracked vehicles have to be effectively sealed and work with complete reliability under the toughest of operational conditions.

The benefits:

• Optimum levelling by means of spring steel tine levellers or levelling discs
• The height and angle of the outside discs can be adjusted separately for a perfect profile when matching bout to bout  
• Maintenance-free disc bearings with face seals and life-long lubrication
• Maintenance-free stone protection via sprung rubber buffers as standard

1. 2-row angular contact ball bearing
2. 2 x seal ring (O-Ring)
3. 2 x cast rings with face seal
4. Face seal built into conical seats
5. Gear oil filled housing
6. Proven 1,000,000 times over!

“The levelling concave discs do a super job. The side discs can be pushed in and out very easily and are provided with appropriate adjustment options in the slots.“

A wide range of following rollers for reconsolidating the soil are available for all AMAZONE soil tillage implements. Decide which roller suits your farm best!

All rear rollers on AMAZONE soil tillage implements are equipped with bolt-on bearing shafts. This keeps repair work to a minimum in the case of bearing damage. The robust spherical roller bearings provide high reliability and a long service life.

The roller bearings are now available as an option in an HD version for maximum operational reliability and an extreme service life

• Extreme service life thanks to a metallic face seal 
• Completely maintenance-free with life-long lubrication thanks to the gear oil filling
• Robust and insensitive due to spherical roller bearings instead of ball bearings

The perfect supplement to seedbed preparation

For seedbed preparation, the AMAZONE cultivators can also be equipped with a following harrow on many of the rollers. The following harrow creates a very fine-crumbled soil surface structure and thus the perfect germination conditions for the following crops. An additional advantage when using the harrow is the optimised straw distribution.

* Please note! Turning on the rear roller is not possible 
in conjunction with TS running gear.
