ZA-TS mounted spreader

Advantages of the ZA-TS:

• Maximum precision during normal spreading and border spreading, regardless of external influences such as wind, hilly terrain or varying fertiliser properties 
• Quick exchange of spreading vanes for flexible working widths 
• User-friendly operation thanks to comprehensive software solutions for the spreader over and above the ISOBUS standard 
• Precise fertilisation with high efficiency

The deep-drawn hopper 
The base hopper has a capacity of 700 l. It is deep-drawn, meaning that it does not have any corners, edges or welded seams. This provides a continual and even flow of the fertiliser. Also the cleaning of the spreader is made easy thanks to this design. The available hopper extensions allow for total volumes of up to 5,000 litres.

The benefits of the design 

• No edges and weld seams, one-piece hopper 
• Optimum fertiliser flow, consistent passage 
• No residues 
• Open frame structure facilitates easy cleaning 
• Electronic components protected in the box section frame

For the ZA-TS, the following frames are available:

• Super frame: 3,200 kg payload, Cat. 2 linkage
• Ultra frame: 4,500 kg payload, Cat. 3 linkage

The benefits 

• lightweight frame design with excellent rigidity 
• optimised centre of gravity and yet plenty of space for hitching up

High-quality, multi-layer paint finish

The paintwork on a fertiliser spreader is exposed to particular demands. The paintwork is intended to protect the spreader from corrosion, especially when handling fertiliser and where moisture is involved. Starting with the 2022 model year, there is a new painting process for the ZA-V, ZA-TS and ZG-TS fertiliser spreader ranges. This involves, on the one hand, a cathodic dip painting process (known as KTL) for priming to give the best possible protection on the internal surfaces of tubes and box sections and, on the other hand, a powder coating process to create a high-quality visual finish with extra-thick paint providing increased protection against mechanical demands.

7 year manufacturer’s guarantee

Based on this optimum painting process, AMAZONE is able to offer its customers a manufacturer guarantee of seven years against rusting through, starting with the 2022 model year. From 01/01/2023, customers can apply to have the guarantee activated for ZA-V, ZA-TS, and ZG-TS models, starting from the 2022 model year. This registration is done very simply via the

manufacturer’s portal, myAmazone, bearing in mind the terms and conditions (www.amazone.net/7-years) stated there. After registration, one can continue to work without any worries.

The benefits

• Cathodic dip painting process 
  • Suppression of rust infiltration 
  • Best possible protection, even on the inner surfaces of tubes and box sections 
• Powder coated top coat 
  • Double protection through additionally applied powder coating 
  • Improved resistance against everyday wear and tear 
• Quality and reliability 
  • All the components on the spreading system and all hydraulic fittings are made from stainless steel 
  • Impact, UV and chemical resistant plastic sieves

High-quality multi-layer paint finish – the most modern from all angles:

1. 14-step paint preparation (e.g. degreasing) 
2. Zinc phosphating provides the most effective counteraction of rust formation 
3. Thick cathodic dip priming for full corrosion protection, even in cavities and those hard-to-reach areas 
4. Powder coating for a high-quality appearance and extra thick paint for increased protection against mechanical demands
