ZA-V mounted spreaders

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.

In order to check the position of the border spreading system from the tractor cab, AMAZONE offers a specific position indicator. The position can be comfortably monitored during the spreading procedure via the mechanical display within the line of sight at the front of the fertiliser spreader.

The roll-over hopper cover, either manually operated or hydraulically actuated from the tractor, is available for all S extensions and L extensions. It safely covers the whole of the hopper access area and ensures, when compactly rolled up, the maximum filling opening. The roll-over hopper cover can also be combined with the bolt-on S 600 and L 800 extensions.

As a cost-effective alternative to the roll-over hopper cover, the swivel hopper cover, with large sight windows can be chosen but only for the S extensions.

The swivel rolling and parking device facilitates the easy mounting on and off the tractor and manoeuvring in the yard. The castor wheels are quickly folded in and out and optimally protected from dirt.

The robust rolling device makes it easier to mount and demount the spreader and manoeuvre it in the yard. The castor wheels can be quickly removed. 

For the comfortable spread rate check without removal of the spreading disc, the lateral calibration kit, left or right hand side, is available. In conjunction with the ZA-V Control and ZA-V Tronic spreading systems, an automatic time measurement is also possible.

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.

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-V 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 spreading vanes.

The controls of 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 AmaSpread 2 or ISOBUS terminal.

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

Practical users will particularly love the filling aid provided by the work lights and the Profis weighing system. Initial flashing followed by continuous illumination of the work lights signals that the fill level has been reached. A second person, or frequent dismounting for checking, are no longer necessary.

• The pre-set capacity is achieved when the work lights comes on continuously.

Two in one fell swoop 
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.

Comfortable and reliable 
To enable the use of a “reversed” fertiliser spreader on the front of the tractor, intelligent software has been employed that reliably mirrors the spreading function, thus allowing for work without a rethink. In this way, even normal, side, border and water course spreading can be actuated on the correct side without any problems. Even the optimum switching points for the automatic on/off switching on the headland is matched.

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
