Ceus trailed disc & tine combination cultivator

• The following tine element enables deep soil layers to be loosened down to a working depth of up to 35 cm.
• The flexible working depth adjustment also allows for shallow working depths of 5 cm for the tines.
• With the 430 mm wide wing shares on the tines, the entire soil surface is cut.

The system in comparison with a cultivator

The Ceus is the universal machine for soil tillage. The principle of the Ceus is different from that of an ordinary cultivator. When the two implements are compared, the Ceus demonstrates its strength first and foremost with its intensive mixing. The front disc element helps with distribution and incorporation, especially in fields with a large amount of organic material. The low pulling power requirement of the Ceus provided by the wider spacing of the tines is also sure to impress when deep loosening. The front disc element means that the Ceus gets by with a larger tine spacing without having to compromise its mixing performance.

The tine element with C-Mix Super tines or C-Mix Ultra tines allows deep soil layers to be loosened at a working depth of up to 35 cm to alleviate compaction and improve root growth. However, it can also be used for cultivating stubbles or mechanical weed control where, with the wing shares, for instance, the share points run just below the working depth of the disc harrow. This loosens the soil and creates a rougher soil structure. Water infiltration into the soil is significantly improved and the risk of soil capping is significantly reduced. Deep loosening also improves the mixing and incorporation of organic matter.

The AMAZONE C-Mix share system is used with the tine element. With a tine spacing of approx. 40 cm, the Ceus proves to be particularly easy to pull while allowing high passage of organic matter, even when deep loosening. The tines can be lifted up and work carried out with just the leading disc element if only shallow stubble cultivation is required.

The benefits:

• For operating in conditions with an occasional overload
• Ideally suited to locations with light to heavy ground
• Automatically resets after triggering – high force ensures a reliable reset
• Trigger force of 600 kg for high operational reliability

The benefits:

• For operating in conditions where there is regular triggering
• Ideally suited to locations with very variable soils and lots of stones
• Damped via the hydraulic cylinder when it is reset after triggering – less wear in conditions with a large number of trip cycles
• Stepless, hydraulic adjustment of the release force from 500 to 800 kg for maximum operational reliability under all conditions

The separation of guide plate from the share point above all serves to reduce wearing metal costs. Depending on soil type, location and soil moisture, up to 3 to 5 share points can be worn-out before having to replace the guide plate. The new guide plates on the C-Mix share system are manufactured with a spiral design that ensures, in combination with the optimum radius of the share, the perfect deflection of the soil flow and thus a very high mixing intensity but yet with a lower power requirement.

1. C-Mix duck foot share point 320 mm* Working depth 3 – 10 cm
2. C-Mix wing share 360 mm Working depth 5 – 15 cm
3. C-Mix point 100 mm with guide plate 100 mm Working depth 10 – 20 cm
4. C-Mix point 80 mm* with guide plate 80 mm Working depth 12 – 30 cm
5. C-Mix share 40 mm* Working depth 20 – 35 cm

AMAZONE offers an extensive selection of different shares for the wide range of application of the Ceus. The various wing shares ensure excellent loosening at a medium working depth. The narrower 80 mm and 100 mm shares loosen and mix the soil intensively, even at slightly greater working depths. For even deeper loosening up to 35 cm, the 40 mm wide C-Mix narrow share should be used, since it is easier to pull than the 80 mm and 100 mm shares.

The 430 mm wing share, the 350 mm wing share, the 320 mm duck foot share, the 80 mm point and the 40 mm share are also available as a hard-wearing, HD pro version, especially for particularly high performance applications. The length of the share remains constant over the entire period of use. This means that the maximum working depth can always be achieved. Depending on application and soil conditions, the service life is up to five times longer than with the standard system.
