The holder, including a 12 m GPS connecting cable, serves to mount a GPS receiver on the fertiliser spreader instead of on the tractor. The GPS receiver can remain on the spreader if the tractor is changed frequently, such as with machine cooperatives. In use, the GPS receiver is always located clearly above the fertiliser spreader.

The SafetySet, which is fitted as standard equipment ensures improved safety. The outer guard tube fulfils the accident prevention regulations. Large marker boards to the rear and the LED road lighting kit ensure more recognisability in road traffic.

AMAZONE offers the FlowCheck monitoring device for the ZA-TS Hydro series as an inexpensive alternative to FlowControl.

Whereas FlowControl can control and adjust the application rate independently to each side, FlowCheck only detects blockages and when one of the two shutter apertures is running empty. Should a blockage occur, both systems rectify the fault by quickly opening and closing the shutter slide whilst simultaneously reversing the agitator. This means absolute reliability of operation for the farmer.

The hydraulically controlled roll-over cover provides maximum comfort as it can be opened and closed from the tractor cab. The mechanical roll-over cover is operated manually.

The swivel hopper cover is a simple alternative to the roll-over cover. Only available for S extensions. The maintenance position enables easy cleaning from the inside.

As an alternative to the swivel rolling and parking device, there is also a cheaper parking stand with integrated skid available.

For optimum access to the hopper from outside, even on the narrow extensions, a ladder is available which can be fitted to the left and/or right hand side. For the wide L extensions though, ladders are provided to both sides as standard.

“Amazone sets the standard, even with the ladder: The steps (of stainless steel!) are well integrated on both sides and do not protrude."

The optionally available camera system mainly serves for safety when manoeuvring. The high resolution, antiglare monitor is backlit and can also display two cameras at once. The coupling to an ISOBUS terminal with an analogue video input is also possible.

• Alternatively, the picture from the camera can also be displayed via the analogue video input on the AmaTron 4
   

Spread fan, spreading unit and hopper internal lighting

An optional work light kit is available as a supplement to the standard LED lighting for the ZA-TS mounted spreader.

LED work lights are mounted in the hopper above the spreading discs and at the sides of the spreader. This ensures that the user has an overview of the fill level in the hopper at night, and has adequate lighting for changing the spreading discs and for setting the telescopic blades on the spreading vanes.

The work lights are fully integrated in the software of the fertiliser spreader and can therefore be operated remotely from the tractor cab via the ISOBUS terminal.

The two side-mounted LED work lights provide perfect illumination of the spread fan to the left and right in the dark.

"In conjunction with the weighing system, the LED work lights become a filling aid. A light flashes and then lights up continuously to indicate that you are approaching and then have reached your pre-defined desired weight – fantastic." (profi - "Big, bigger, ZA-TS" 12/2024)

Two in one go

For customers who intend to accurately spread two different mineral fertilisers in just one pass, AMAZONE offers the unique possibility of a front-mounted spreader. Other than when utilising blended fertilisers in one fertiliser spreader, this option allows the optimal setting of each spreader according to the properties of the relevant fertiliser. In this way, the perfect lateral distribution for both fertilisers is achieved. Also spreading with two different application maps is possible.

The benefits of front-mounting:

• Possibility to accurately spread two different types of fertiliser in just one pass
• More capacity from the additional hopper capacity yet with the benefits of a mounted machine – manoeuvrable and speedy
• Front-mounting is possible with all ZA-V and ZA-TS ISOBUS spreader models

A road lighting kit is available for safe road use when in transport with the front-mounted spreader. 

Bed spreading via bed spreading deflector on both sides
AMAZONE offers the bed spreading deflector for spreading special crops in beds on the left and right of the tramline. It keeps the track virtually free from fertiliser. Actuation of the bed spreading deflector is carried out hydraulically from the tractor seat.
