Convenient electric adjustment and control 

The machine-specific EasySet 2 in-cab terminal guarantees ultra-easy operation in any tractor. Only a 12 V power connection is required. This results in minimum requirements for the tractor and a wide variety of tractors can be used without additional requirements.

In conjunction with the electric double shutter, EasySet 2 has the advantage of being able to adjust the application rate in extremely small steps. The desired application rate is simply entered in the in-cab terminal and this can be easily increased or reduced from the cab on both sides, or to either side, during the spreading operation.

Machine control is rounded off by a convenient function for semi-automatic rate calibration and the emptying of any fertiliser residues. The AutoTS border spreading system can be comfortably controlled via the EasySet 2. The working position of the border spread deflector for lime also has a visual indicator. 

The benefits 

• Forward-speed dependent application rate control 
• Comfortable electrical operation and adjustment of the application rate from the tractor cab 
• Simple in-cab terminal without menus, only direct function keys 
• Integrated hectare meter with total area counter 
• Low demands on the tractor 
• Easy operation of the AutoTS border spreading system

The complete level of functionality in the ISOBUS world

The range of ZG-TX combi spreaders is rounded off at the top with the ZG-TX Tronic. On this model, ISOBUS communication is integrated by default.

The new intuitive ISOBUS control provides all the functions of the ISOBUS world in the ZG-TX Tronic. In addition to Section Control, part-area, site-specific application and job management, the control system can be integrated in the operating system of the tractor with AUX-N. There is nothing left to be desired here. 

Up to 16 part-width sections are possible as standard with the ZG-TX Tronic. This enables even more precise spreading in wedge-shaped fields.

AutoTS can be operated with any ISOBUS terminal for comfortable side, border and water course spreading. The material-specific, optimised settings for the relevant border spreading situations are conveniently stored in the fertiliser menu.

The benefits 

• Convenient operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals 
• Integration into the tractor operation 
• GPS-Switch automatic part-width section control 
• Use of application maps with GPS-Maps&Doc 
• Job-related documentation in the Task Controller

One language, many benefits!
Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance:

• International standardisation provides uniform interfaces and data formats, meaning that compatibility with other manufacturers is ensured
• Plug and Play between the machine, tractor and other ISOBUS equipment

AMAZONE machinery and operator terminals offer a range of functions which are very easy and safe to operate:

• Highest compatibility and safety function of your ISOBUS equipment 
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machines from AMAZONE come ready-equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functions as standard

• MiniView display with all AMAZONE terminals and additional ISOBUS terminals. See, for example, the machine data in the map view. 
• Possibility of operating the machine via the tractor terminal or a twin terminal solution 
• Flexible assignment of the map and machine view between the tractor terminal and the operator terminal 
• Unique operation concept. Freely configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver 
• Functions such as HeadlandControl and parabolic part-width section control 
• Integrated Task Controller data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive 
• Tailored to the machine 
• Function scope above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

More precision, more efficiency!

In view of the very large working widths used now, the matching of the spread patterns is very important. Thanks to the electric delivery system adjustment on the TS spreading system, it is able to react precisely and sensitively in these cases. So even outer part-width sections can be easily controlled. In addition, due to the individual speed adjustment of the left and right hand side discs, the spreading width can be reduced from the far outside to the centre, so that, even at large working widths, long and shallow-shaped wedges and short work are optimally spread. This means part-width section control. In the simplest configuration, 8 part-width sections can be easily controlled manually (via the operator terminal). Up to 128 part-width sections can be controlled with the appropriate Section Control licence for the terminal.

If the operating terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.

Benefits of automatic part-width section control:

• Stress relief on the driver
• Increase in precision, also at night or at higher 
• speeds
• Fewer overlaps and gaps
• Saving on input costs
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

AmaTron Twin App – Clear display enhancement

The AmaTron Twin App offers the driver even more comfort in work, as GPS functions in the map view can also be operated via a mobile device, such as a tablet, in parallel with machine operation in AmaTron 4.

Advantages of the AmaTron Twin display enhancement: 

• Use of an existing mobile device  
• Greater clarity – all applications in view 
• Comfortable control of GPS functions in the map view in parallel via the mobile device 
• Clear, authentic representation of the working machine and its part-width sections

1. Working width
2. Throwing distance (2x working width)
3. Active HeadlandControl
4. Border spreading
5. HeadlandControl provides an increase in the working width towards the inside of the field on the headland

The problem: Over- and under-fertilisation on the headland

The AutoTS border spreading system makes it possible for the operator to reliably generate a very steep cut-off to the border spread pattern and thus create the perfect growing conditions right up against the field edge. Compared to other border spreading systems, a significant increase in yield is possible.

Switch-off time on the headland: Without HeadlandControl

• Spreader switches off too late and is already turning 
• Tractor would have to drive beyond the headland tramline

Result: Over- and under-fertilised zones are created

1. Over-fertilisation (dark-green)
2. Under-fertilisation (white)
3. Standard headland
4. Inner throwing distance without HeadlandControl

The solution: HeadlandControl

When HeadlandControl is activated, the throwing width and spread rate are increased on the field side, so that the switch-off point is moved towards the inside of the field. Furthermore, the new part-width section control, which is now adapted to the shape of the spread fan, causes the part-width sections to be switched off from the outside to the inside when entering the headland. Over- and under-fertilised zones on the headland are subsequently avoided.

With HeadlandControl

• HeadlandControl means that the spreader continues to apply fertiliser to the crop when it is on the headland 
• The tractor can follow the wheel tracks of the sprayer

Result: Uniform crops across the headland

1. Improved lateral distribution at the headland
2. Switch-off point moved
3. Extended headland
4. Inner throwing distance with HeadlandControl
