Centaya Super harrow-mounted seed drill

AMAZONE offers a universal, front-mounted hopper for multi-functional use in the shape of the FTender with a capacity of 1,600 l or 2,200 l. The machine control on the FTender takes place via ISOBUS. This means that the mounted front hopper can be easily operated intuitively and with all the advantages of ISOBUS communication. The FTender is operated via its own complete, standalone ISOBUS electronic system (ISOBUS autonomous). The FTender from Amazone can be used in conjunction with a variety of implements across a wide range of operations.

With the option of a second, segmented distributor head, the Centaya offers further possibilities for the simultaneous sowing of different application materials (seed, fertiliser). The material must be fed to the coulters, in order to deposit the additional applied material at the same placement depth. This is provided via a Y-piece in the case of the RoTeC single disc coulters. The TwinTeC double-disc coulter also offers the option of applying the second material via a separate outlet on the coulter.

The Micro plus micro-granular applicator can be used to place even small quantities of fertiliser directly alongside the seed during sowing. The micro-granular applicator meters the fertiliser into the seed tube of the drill. The fertiliser is thereby delivered to the seed row via the conveying system together with the seed using the single-shoot process.

Micro plus is equipped with a central electric metering system under the easily accessible 110 l hopper. The filling opening with a diameter of 195 mm enables quick and easy filling. The micro-granular applicator is controlled via the ISOBUS software of the seed drill.

The GreenDrill universal catch crop seeder box is the ideal solution for sowing catch crops or undersown crops in a single pass. The GreenDrill seed hopper can be easily accessed via the loading board and has a capacity of 200 litres. The seed can be delivered directly into the coulter (deposited at a placement depth) or distributed across the full working width via baffle plates. The delivery point can be adjusted to be in front of or behind the harrow.

The in-cab controller 5.2 is available for controlling the machine. This can be used to control the seed shaft and the blower fan. In addition, an options' menu is available to assist the calibration as well as also indicating the forward speed, the worked area and the working hours. The seed shaft speed is automatically adjusted to varying forward speeds.

The benefits: 

• Sowing catch crops and fine seeds simultaneously with stubble cultivation or soil tillage 
• Various different metering rolls are available 
• Full-width distribution via baffle plates or directly in the seed furrow
