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 
• Practice-oriented machine software and logical menu structure 
• 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 features Section Control, such as, for example, GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the switching of the part-width sections can be carried out completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, the driver can concentrate fully on operating the vehicle in automatic mode, 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 especially at night or at higher speeds
• Fewer overlaps and gaps
• Saving on input costs
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

Simple and convenient operation as intuitive as your tablet

Why not handle a terminal as intuitively as a tablet or a smartphone? With this in mind, AMAZONE has developed the operator-friendly AmaTron 4, which offers a noticeably smoother operational process, especially when it comes to job management. AmaTron 4, with its 8" multi-touch colour display, meets the highest demands and offers you maximum user-friendliness. A swipe of the finger or use of the App carousel allows quick changes between applications and the simple and clearly structured operating menu. The practical MiniView, a freely configurable status bar and an integrated light bar make the AmaTron 4 exceptionally easy and convenient to use.

Benefits of AmaTron 4: 

• Automatic full screen mode when not in use 
• Automatic control button display via a proximity sensor 
• Practical MiniView concept 
• Actuation via multi-touch colour display or soft keys 
• Especially intuitive and user-friendly 
• Field-related documentation 
• Practice oriented and intelligent menu navigation 
• Practical quick-start menu with import and export of job data, help windows, day/night mode and the AUX-N assignment 
• One camera input and automatic reversing detection 
• Free test phase for all chargeable licences 
• AmaTron Connect – for optional entry into the digital age

• Equipped as standard with: GPS-Maps&Doc

Thanks to the AUX-N feature, you can operate multiple functions on the machine via AmaPilot⁺ or any other ISOBUS multi-function joysticks.

The benefits of AmaPilot⁺:

• Adjustable palm rest
• Freely available key assignment

New ways of comfortable networked operation

With AmaTron Connect, AMAZONE provides a digital interface to a smartphone or tablet. The mobile device is simply connected to the AmaTron 4 as a hotspot. AmaTron Connect enables use of the AmaTron Twin App.

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

Support for needs-based fertilisation
When applying fertiliser, drivers have to juggle various tasks. Firstly, they need to ensure optimal lateral distribution of the material to be spread, as well as maintaining the desired application rate of the fertiliser. Secondly, they must ensure that the most appropriate border spreading mode is used alongside ditches, footpaths or field boundaries, to guarantee legally compliant and precise fertilisation. This can lead to operator errors, especially when changing drivers, as the right border spreading procedure is not activated or deactivated in the right place. Lack of driver knowledge can also lead to non-compliance when applying fertilisers.

Automation of complex switching processes and reduced driver workload
In the following application, the driver only needs to activate the previously plotted scenario and the fertiliser spreader will automatically perform the saved switching processes. GPS ScenarioControl enables the precise, resource-efficient use of fertiliser, as the various spreading procedures are performed in exactly the right places. This ensures that any subsequent applications by other drivers are legally compliant. In addition, drivers can use the pre-plotted, optimised field route as a guide.

Recording and storing the right driving strategy
When crossing the field for the first time with the fertiliser spreader, all the switching points, driving route and driving direction can be automatically plotted by an experienced driver via GPS ScenarioControl by pushing the record button. The switching points are clearly marked on the map and the driving direction is visualised with arrows. GPS ScenarioControl is integrated in the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS operator terminal and can be viewed and operated via the AmaTron Twin display extension.

The advantages at a glance:

• Always the same switching processes with different fertiliser applications 
  – Prevention of operator errors 
  – Legally compliant and resource-efficient fertiliser application guaranteed  
  – Correct application in poor visibility, e.g. darkness or fog 
• No flattening of crops because routes in the field are always optimised
  – Supports inexperienced drivers

GPS ScenarioControl can be used in conjunction with the AmaTron 4 ISOBUS operator terminal and the AmaTron Twin App.
