Metering drive – mechanical or electric 

The mechanically or electrically driven metering system guarantees a precise and uniform seed flow at seed rates ranging from 2 to 400 kg/ha, depending on the working speed. The metering cassettes supplied as standard cover up to 95 % of all seeds. Additional cassettes are available, for instance, for maize or specialist crops.

The benefits:

• Easy exchange of the metering cassettes
• Calibration kit included as standard
• Simple emptying of residual quantities via the separate outlet

Supplied as standard:

1. 20 ccm: e.g. for rape, stubble turnips, lucerne
2. 210 ccm: e.g. for barley, rye, wheat
3. 600 ccm: e.g. for spelt, oats, wheat
4. 660 ccm: e.g. for beans, peas, fertiliser
5. 880 ccm: e.g. for high seed rates

Mechanical metering drive – reliable and tried-and-tested
The mechanical land wheel drive is a reliable but simple and cost-effective solution. The large diameter land wheel ensures an even, uninterrupted drive of the metering system.

The FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart consists of two liquid fertiliser tanks with a capacity of 3,000 l each and two fresh water tanks with a capacity of 300 l each. At an application rate of 60 l/ha, one tank is sufficient for 100 ha, which corresponds to a complete day shift on large farms.

The two liquid fertiliser tanks have as standard fill level indicator, so that the driver can always monitor the fill level. All the tanks can be safely accessed from a working platform and have a large tank opening.

The GPS-Track parallel guidance greatly helps with orientation in the field, especially on grassland or in areas without tramlines.

• With a virtual light bar in the status bar 
• Automatic tramline control via GPS for seed drills 
• Various track modes such as A-B lines or contour following 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

The weight is optimally distributed over the ground via the large 800/45/26.5 tyres, so that the soil is protected. Depending on the requirement, the trailed Fertiliser Delivery Cart is attached to the tractor via a lower link cross shaft of Cat. 3, 4 or K700, a drawbar eye or a ball point coupling, and in the same way at the rear, where the trailed seed drill is hitched.

The drawbar has additional ballast weights as standard equipment to achieve optimal weight distribution and to improve the traction of the tractor. For easy coupling and uncoupling, the drawbar is equipped as standard with a hydraulic cylinder for aligning the machine, as well as a hose rail.

The liquid circuit is very easily operated using the control panel on the left-hand side of the machine, which is already familiar from the AMAZONE crop protection sprayers. Suction and pressure filters in the liquid circuit remove impurities in the liquid fertiliser and ensure high application reliability.

• Automatic determination of the conveying time of seed flow from the metering unit to the sowing coulter 
• Minimisation of misses and overlaps for good field hygiene 
• Minimisation of the disease pressure results in fewer plant protection measures and simultaneous cost reduction

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 once 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 especially at night or at higher speeds
• Fewer overlaps and gaps
• Saving on input costs
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

GPS-Switch

With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.

GPS-Switch basic 

• Automatic part-width section control of up to 16 part-width sections 
• Creation of virtual headlands 
• Automated boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

GPS-Switch pro (as an extension of GPS-Switch basic) 

• Automatic part-width section control with up to 128 part-width sections, in particular for crop protection sprayers with individual nozzle control 
• Marking obstacles (e.g. water holes, pylons) 
• Auto-zoom when approaching the headland 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

The electrically driven metering enables easy adjustment of the seed rate from the tractor cab, pre-metering in field corners and calibration at the touch of a button.

The metering can even be provided automatically on a part-area, site-specific basis via application maps in the Citan with ISOBUS. The calibration can be easily carried out on the machine via the TwinTerminal. 

The benefits:

• Easy adjustment of the seed rate from the tractor cab. Also, an alternative, automatically seed rate control on a part-area, site-specific basis via application maps
• Easy calibration possible via TwinTerminal directly on the machine

The liquid fertiliser is pumped through hoses to the coulters on the seed drill and delivered directly through a special outlet on the sowing coulter. In order to prevent dripping at the headland, each outlet is equipped with its anti-drip diaphragm. Each outlet also has an appropriate metering disc depending on the application rate.

Profitable results in practice
Application results (from season 2018) in Russia show the difference. The plant development with the support of AHL liquid fertiliser was clearly better than in the areas without AHL. The bright green colour of the plant is an indicator of good nutrient supply. The plants with AHL fertilisation also show much more advanced plant growth.

1. Without AHL fertilisation
2. With AHL fertilisation

The primary areas of application for the FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart are in arid farming areas, in which the application of granular fertiliser is at its limits. The liquid fertiliser is delivered directly at the sowing coulter as starter fertilisation.

Advantages of liquid fertiliser application:

• Increase in the plant growth right from the beginning of the growth phase thanks to faster availability
• Reliable plant growth even at cold temperatures, thanks to better usability
• Reduction in the plant protection agent usage owing to a decrease in weed pressure
• Water-conserving, since the fertiliser does not first have to be dissolved to be available to the plants
• Higher yields thanks to positive seedling development

The FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart is equipped with a speed-related spray fluid pump which allows for very accurate metering of application rates between 40 and 300 l/ha. Accurate control is achieved by the AmaSpray⁺ operating computer. The Fertiliser Delivery Cart is filled by a separate, motor-driven filling pump with a filling rate of 500 l/min.

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⁺:

• Almost all the functions directly to hand via the 3 levels
• Adjustable palm rest
• Freely available key assignment

Software licence for the display of one camera image on AmaTron 4 and up to two camera images on AmaPad 2.

Accurate and reliable application of liquid fertiliser directly when seeding

Amazone offers a practical solution for liquid fertiliser application during sowing in the shape of the FDC 6000 Fertiliser Delivery Cart. This additional pairing, with a tank capacity of 6,000 l, is simply hitched between the tractor and the air seeder.

The FDC 6000 Fertiliser Delivery Cart can be used in combination with the Primera DMC, Condor and Citan seed drills or the EDX precision air seeder. The pairing of the FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart and a seed drill with its own granular fertiliser tank even allows for the application of liquid fertiliser and mineral fertiliser in parallel in a single pass.

The FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart can be combined with these seed drills:

The segmented distributor head provides huge flexibility for the pneumatic seed drill. Asymmetrical tramlines can be implemented without any undesirable seed rate reduction on the other half of the machine. The segmented distribution head facilitates the electric half-side shut-off. The half-side control is located directly inside the distributor head.  In combination with Section Control, or GPS-Switch automated part-width section control from AMAZONE, the use of the half-side shut-off can lead to considerable savings, as overlaps and unsown areas are avoided.

The benefits: 

• Electric half-side shut-off 
• Reduction in overlapping saves seed 
• Minimising dust creation inside the seed hopper because no seed is rerouted

“We have 15 AMAZONE Condor seed drills, and the daily output per seed drill, in two shifts, is an average of 200 ha. So we cover up to 3,000 ha every day” reports Timur Pshenov, who founded the Kazakhstani farm “En-Dala LLP” in 1996. Starting with an area of 46 hectares, the farm now encompasses 60,000 hectares in the Tselinograd district of Kazakhstan. “The AMAZONE tine seed drill makes a particular impression with its low fuel consumption of approx. 3.7 to 3.8 l/ha. An additional benefit is the required tractor power rating of just 250 hp”, says Timur Pshenov. As a result of the low precipitation in the region, we use the Condor to sow directly into the stubble, mown as tall as possible, without soil tillage. Base fertiliser application is also carried out at the same time. The direct seeding into very tall stubble is intended to enrich the organic mass in the soil in order to increase the water capacity of the soil. Timur Pshenov explains: “The No. 1 yield factor in our region is the moisture in the soil.” Lots more moisture remains in the soil as a result of the minimal soil movement caused by the Condor. “The seed lies in a sort of depression and is thus less influenced by the wind. This is also an outstanding characteristic.”, according to Timur Pshenov.

“Last year we achieved approx. 1.6 t/ha on the land that we sowed using the AMAZONE Condor. In areas where we sowed using a different seed drill, with different coulters, the yield was an average of just 800 to 900 kg/ha.” reports Dalel Dzhuzbaev, whose Miras 2000 farm is located in Sadyrbay in Kazakhstan. The farm grows mainly wheat, barley, flax, durum and grass on an area of 20,000 hectares. The farm decided to use the AMAZONE Condor, on account of the very dry local conditions. “We need to conserve our water resources. Our main precipitation is in winter and there is very little rainfall in the summer months. For that reason we chose the tine seed drill.” says Dzhuzbaev. The simplicity of the Condor made for a convincing argument, even for a practical person such as Dalel Dzhuzbaev: “The seed drill is of a simple construction and there are just a few component parts that could fail or shut the machine down. We haven’t really changed any spare parts over the past year.” Dzhuzbaev is a also very happy with the yield per unit area figures: “The sowing speed is also very good. We can cover around 130 hectares in a 10 hour shift. That is very good. But it is not only the output that we like, the Condor also sows the seed at the required depth. We don’t need to be constantly walking the fields checking. Once you have set the coulter and the coulter pressure, the seed drill sows the seed accordingly. The sowing rate is also precisely maintained. The seed rows are easy to see at field emergence after sowing with the Condor. There are fewer gaps when compared with other seed drills. I recommend the seed drill everywhere, even on social media, the seed drill makes a real contribution to an increase in the harvest yield.”

Precise sowing is very important, in order to avoid over- and under-sowing in critical areas. A remedy for accurate placement is offered by the half-side control, which reduces the overall working width to half so that a significant saving is achieved, especially in wedge shaped fields and on the headland. The two halves of the drill each correspond to one controllable part-width section.

1. Virtual headland
2. Field application maps for different seed rates are also possible
3. Worked area
4. With half-side shut-off
5. The seeder automatically switches off precisely

The primary areas of application for the FDC Fertiliser Delivery Cart are in arid farming areas, in which the application of granular fertiliser is at its limits. The liquid fertiliser is delivered directly at the sowing coulter as starter fertilisation.

Advantages of liquid fertiliser application:

• Increase in the plant growth right from the beginning of the growth phase thanks to faster availability
• Reliable plant growth even at cold temperatures, thanks to better usability
• Reduction in the plant protection agent usage owing to a decrease in weed pressure
• Water-conserving, since the fertiliser does not first have to be dissolved to be available to the plants
• Higher yields thanks to positive seedling development

For the operation on light or unconsolidated soils, and as an option, tractor wheel mark eradicators are available. The wheel marks are loosened and levelled. Hydraulic control enables automatic lowering and lifting on the headland or when folding for transport.

As an option, AMAZONE offers an on-board hydraulic system with an oil tank on the seed drill and a separate hydraulic pump, in order to ensure that the oil pressure is sufficiently high and an appropriate amount of oil is available to the hydraulic blower fan when it is used behind tractors with a poor hydraulic capacity. AMAZONE offers a variety of clip-on pumps for a wide range of tractors, meaning that a solution is possible for virtually every tractor.

The establishment of rape in high continental regions primarily depends on the sowing system. Precise seed placement is of vital importance owing to a short and dry growing season. Precise placement of the seed is possible with the individually depth-guided ConTeC pro coulters. Apart from the placement depth, the optimum seed rate plays a key role in rape establishment. Low seed rates promote the development of the individual plants and reduces the risk of the yield being decimated through premature and stress ripening. The stepless Vario gearbox enables seed to be precisely metered at rates as low as 2 kg/ha. Precise lateral distribution over the complete working width enables crops to be sown particularly evenly.

Field trials in dry regions demonstrate higher yields for rape and wheat in row widths of 31.3/33.3 cm and the same yields in wet years as in the case of a row spacing of 25 cm.

• Reduction in use of inputs, such as seed and fertiliser

The concept – for extensive farming systems
The AMAZONE Condor is the ideal machine for operation in arable farming systems where there has been a minimum of prior soil tillage or just direct sowing. Particularly in large arable areas, where time and soil moisture are the limiting factors, the Condor stands for high work rates, precision and water conservation. The low pulling power requirement in relation to its working width helps significantly in reducing the financial costs in these most extensive of arable farming systems.

The benefits:

• Minimum ground disturbance
• Fertiliser applied with the seed. Seed placed at an optimum depth below the straw and in the appropriate reconsolidation
• Extremely wide variety of crops can be sown
• Huge cost reduction

1. Millet
2. Winter wheat
3. Spring rape following spring wheat
4. Spring wheat following spring rape
5. Catch crop mixture

Condor for increased efficiency
The method of tillage can now be matched to the prevailing conditions of an individual region even more precisely with the Condor trailed seed drill.

Row width 25 cm
Row widths of 25 cm are ideal in the more moist steppe regions.

• Higher seed rates possible
• Plant distribution and higher water availability provide the optimum conditions for growth and minimise competition within the row
• Mechanical weed control possible on 25 cm row spacing

Row width 31.3/33.3 cm
Row widths of 31.3/33.3 cm are recommended for very dry conditions.

• Lower seed rates with a large row spacing result in extremely vital single plants
• A maximum amount of water is available to plants
• Effective minimisation of the risk of early stress ripening and considerable losses in yield
• A reduction in fuel consumption and an increase in work rates thanks to the higher working speeds

1. Row width 25 cm
2. Row width 31.33/33.3 cm

ConTeC pro coulter

1. Precise working depth adjustment
2. Air diffuser
3. Packer wheel
4. Chisel coulter

A filling auger is also available as an option for the trailed seed drill. The filling auger allows quick and easy filling directly from a transfer trailer vehicle.

1. Air filled wheel
   The air filled wheel is suitable for a large variety of operational conditions. By the flex in the tyre it is kept free from wet soil. Under dry conditions, it provides a reliable reconsolidation of the soil.
2. Fully foam-filled wheel – round profile
   Due to its robust design, this wheel is ideally suited for use in extremely dry conditions and where harsh stubbles prevail. Burst tyres and cost-intensive down times are no longer a potential risk. The hard wheel provides optimum reconsolidation of the seed furrow.
3. Fully foam-filled wheel – triangular profile
   Due to its wedge shape, this wheel provides the maximum contact pressure in especially dry conditions and on light soils. Its robustness pays off especially when sowing in harsh stubbles.
4. Semi-pneumatic wheel
   This tyre is indeed the real all-rounder. Its thick rubber wall makes it extremely resistant against even the harshest of stubbles. Under dry conditions, this tyre achieves a very good reconsolidation. The air chamber provides this tyre with a very good flexibility preventing the sticking of wet soil on the wheel.
5. V press wheels
   V press wheels are particularly suitable for the sowing of crops that need a shallow placement depth, such as rape. In addition, targeted reconsolidation can be used reliably to close the furrow to the left and right of the sowing. Under mulch sowing conditions, we also reduce the covering of rows.

The ConTeC pro coulter achieves perfect ground adaptation through its simple yet ingenious construction without the need for the usual hydraulic cylinder on every coulter. The flexible connection between the frame sections and the coulter is achieved via the proven sprung rubber buffer blocks.

The benefits

• Compensation in ground undulations of up to 65 cm with sowing depth maintained
• Low incidence of failure
• Hydraulic adjustment of the coulter pressure
• Very high coulter pressure of up to 120 kg
• Blockage-free operation owing to the large spacing between the coulters of 25 cm and the frame height of 80 cm

1. Coverage depth

For many decades on farms in the CIS states the “Yellow Giants” are the standard tractors for multiple operations on the farm and in the field. AMAZONE offers the possibility to operate ultra-modern sowing technology alongside these available powerful and robust tractors. Measurements prove an effective fuel consumption of 4 l/ha for a K700A combined with a Condor 12 m. This is just 1 l/ha more than is achieved with a modern imported tractor! This eliminates the financial pressure of having to buy a new tractor for the new seed drill.

The seed drill fulfils all road traffic requirements concerning transport safety with a lighting kit for road transport.

When using reduced mulch sowing or direct sowing methods, it is important in both cases that the fertiliser is placed in the ground below the crop residues in order to prevent losses due to gaseous emission, especially in times when fertiliser costs are rising. Scientific trials in Regina, Canada and Samara, Russia show that with this method it is possible to apply 30 kg/ha of pure N when sowing wheat and approximately 25 kg/ha when sowing rape. In the very dry and continental conditions in Canada and the Eurasian Steppe, where the potential yield is relatively low, this quantity is often completely sufficient for the usual spring cropping.

Thanks to the technical features of the Condor as described, it is ideal when used for direct sowing on large-sized farms. The coulter is only 12 mm wide and thus moves only as much soil as is absolutely necessary for optimum seed placement under the straw. This not only prevents ground water loss but also lowers the tractive power requirement and fuel consumption. 220 hp was sufficient tractor output for the Condor 12001 in extensive tests under true working conditions. On average, the spectacular figure of only 2.7 litres of diesel per hectare was recorded with the Condor 15001. Also under working conditions, the Condor 15001 was able to achieve a daily work rate in 13 hours of 150 hectares at a working speed of 8 to 10 km/h.

3-section pressurised hopper for seed and fertiliser or a combination of seed types
The Condor offers the option of placing fertiliser or a second seed type as a companion plant/undersown crop in the seed furrow together with the seed. The hopper is divided into 3 sections and can be flexibly combined. If division of the hopper is not required, it can be completely filled with just one seed type.

Advantages of single-shoot:

• Direct placement of fertiliser near the grain for good starter fertilisation or the easy availability of immobile nutrients
• Undersown crops for plant and yield protection

The options:

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

Advantages of AmaPilot⁺:

• Almost all the functions directly to hand via the 3 levels

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

Metering drive – mechanical or electric 

The mechanically- or electrically-driven metering system guarantees a precise and uniform seed flow at seed rates ranging from 2 to 400 kg/ha, depending on the working speed. The metering cassettes supplied as standard cover up to 95 % of all seeds. Additional cassettes are available, for instance, for maize or specialist crops.

The benefits:

• Easy exchange of the metering cassettes
• Calibration kit included as standard
• Simple emptying of residual quantities via the separate outlet

Supplied as standard:

• 2 x 20 ccm: e.g. for rape, stubble turnips, lucerne
• 2 x 210 ccm: e.g. for barley, rye, wheat
• 2 x 600 ccm: e.g. for spelt, oats, wheat
• 2 x 880 ccm: e.g. for high seed rates

2. 120 ccm: For catch crops, maize and sunflowers
3. 350 ccm: For fertiliser
4. 660 ccm: For peas and beans

Mechanical metering drive – reliable and tried-and-tested

The mechanical land wheel drive is a reliable but simple and cost-effective solution. The large diameter land wheel ensures an even, uninterrupted drive of the metering system.

• Automatic determination of the conveying time of seed flow from the metering unit to the sowing coulter
• Minimisation of misses and overlaps for good field hygiene 
• Minimisation of the disease pressure results in fewer plant protection measures and simultaneous cost reduction

The high-capacity oil cooler prevents any overheating of the oil circuit. At the same time, the blower fan of the seed drill sucks air for the delivery route through the fins on the cooler. The heated air effectively prevents the sticking of seed and fertiliser at high application rates and in wet weather.

AMAZONE offers Comfort-Pack 1 with its TwinTerminal 3.0 for the electric metering drive, in order to further simplify calibration and residue emptying. The small, additional TwinTerminal mounted directly on the machine offers a key advantage: The driver can now perform the calibration operation and input the data from that calibration directly into the machine and no longer has to repeatedly get on and off the tractor.

The TwinTerminal 3.0 consists of a water- and dust-proof housing with a 3.2" display and four large keys for actuation.

The benefits:

• Easy calibration via TwinTerminal without having to repeatedly get on and off the tractor
