Cirrus Grand trailed cultivator drill

The Cirrus 04 can be equipped with a twin-chamber pressurised hopper with a capacity of 5,750 litres split in a ratio of 40:60, or a three-chamber pressurised hopper with a capacity of 5,900 litres and split 40:50:10. The multi-chamber hoppers are optimised for filling with big bags and designed with sufficient excess capacity. The excess capacity means that the hopper can be filled whenever it suits the operator. The hopper can always accommodate the entire contents of a big bag, even with large residual amounts. This simplifies seed logistics, since the time of filling can be more flexible.

The multi-chamber hopper enables the separate metering of different types of seeds or fertiliser. The individual hoppers can be filled with just one applied material, if required, for maximum output. Exact distribution is guaranteed by the pressurised hopper system with its high-performance conveying system. Up to 400 kg/ha can be efficiently applied at a working speed of 15 km/h. Furthermore, the low power requirement of the blower fan underlines the enormous efficiency of the machine. A TwinTerminal can be used for the simple and precise calibration of the metering unit.

Flexibility for versatile farming

The Cirrus Grand can meter up to three different applied materials from the various hopper chambers using the same conveying system using the Single-Shoot process.

This means that up to three crops (two seed types with fertiliser), one seed type and different fertilisers, or even applied materials such as slug pellets or micro-granules can be embedded in the seed furrow in a single pass. All the hoppers can also be used for a single seed.

These illustrations apply to different combinations of seeds, fertiliser and micro-granules

The Cirrus can now deposit the applied material at a second, shallow placement depth via a second distribution system, either via a baffle plate or an additional outlet on the coulter.

As a result, it is now possible to grow oil seed rape with companion plants at double the row spacing, for example.

The metering system is suitable for all seeds and seed rates from 1 kg/ha. The metering cassettes are specifically designed for the crops concerned. As a result, rubberised, flexible cassettes can be used for sowing legumes, for example – they protect sensitive seed from breaking and thus from impairing germination capability. The change from fine seeds to normal seed is carried out by simply replacing the metering cassettes – quickly and without the need for tools, even when the seed hopper is full. Up to 95% of all common seed types can be sown using the metering cassettes supplied as standard.

In order to make pre-metering, calibration and emptying of any residual amounts even easier, AMAZONE offers Comfort-Pack 1 with TwinTerminal 3.0 for the Cirrus in conjunction with an ISOBUS terminal. The TwinTerminal is mounted directly on the seed drill near the metering units. This position offers a decisive benefit: the driver can perform the calibration operation and input the data for 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 waterproof, dustproof housing with a 3.2" display and 4 large keys, which can also be operated with gloves.
