GreenDrill 501 with third conveying system for triple-shoot

Cirrus 3003 Compact Compact, easily manoeuvrable, fast

The Cirrus Compact models offer an attractive option for smaller fields. Tremendous manoeuvrability is provided with a 550 mm shorter axle position than on the Cirrus 6003-2 and in conjunction with its lower link mounting. So excellent work rates are possible, even on tight headlands. With its 3,000 l hopper capacity and a maximum speed of 40 km/h, the Cirrus Compact is ideal for farms which do not have any facility for in-field filling. Depending on the relevant national traffic road regulations, the Cirrus is available with an unbraked axle, dual-circuit air braking or a hydraulic braking system.

• “The machine is a joy to use due to its compactness and easy operation!” 
  (Michael Hantelmann, farmer · 08/2021)

The Cirrus trailed cultivator drill, in a working width of 4 m, is available in either rigid or folding versions. The folding version folds down to a transport width of 3 m for road transport.

AMAZONE offers the folding Cirrus 6003-2 in a working width of 6 m for higher work rates and larger farms.

AMAZONE offers the Cirrus Compact and the Cirrus with a hopper capacity of 3,000 l or 3,600 l for the simple and effective sowing of just one seed type.

• “I’d recommend the machine to other farmers! It’s very easy to pull and very easy to adjust in comparison to other machines!”
  (Andreas Benke, farmer · 08/2021)

The Cirrus-C system

In addition to the single-tip, open hopper version of the Cirrus, the Cirrus-C also offers a divided, twin outlet pressurised hopper and one conveying system. If, for instance, fertiliser is also to be applied along with the seed, the Cirrus-C, in working widths of 4 m to 6 m, offers the option of metering two different materials. These machines sow either a second crop or fertiliser directly with the seed into a seed row using the single-shoot method. The Cirrus-C has a hopper capacity of 4,000 l with a 60:40 split.

With the Cirrus-CC, AMAZONE offers an additional model in the Cirrus range with a conveying system concept that allows for the delivery of two different materials. The various possible combinations of the conveyor system with the Cirrus-CC provide users with a wide range of options to meet modern arable farming methods. Both the Cirrus-CC and the Cirrus-C have a twin outlet pressurised hopper with a capacity of 4,000 l. 

In addition to the level of equipment found on the Cirrus-C, the Cirrus-CC has a separate distributor head and a FerTeC single disc sowing coulter. This means that a variety of sowing systems can be used, from simple sowing to double-shoot with simultaneous single-shoot. A third crop can be sown in combination when equipped with the GreenDrill 501. This is referred to as the triple-shoot method.

FerTeC coulter 
Due to the additional FerTeC single disc counter, which is located in front of the tyre packer, the Cirrus-CC can sow simultaneously two materials at different rates and depths. For example, fertiliser can be applied as well. This promotes the development of the young plant.

A wide variety of agronomic methods are easy to implement with the Cirrus

• Single-shoot: via the sowing coulter 
• Double-shoot: via the sowing coulter + fertiliser coulter or GreenDrill (for instance via baffle plates)  
• Triple-shoot: via the sowing coulter + fertiliser coulter + GreenDrill (via baffle plates)

All the methods at a glance

Single-Shoot 

• Support of the plant at the early growth stages 
• No leaching or evaporation of the fertiliser

Double-Shoot 

• Deep deposition of fertilisation extends the availability of the fertiliser 
• Fertiliser can be placed between the rows 
• Improved root development thanks to the initial dosage of the fertiliser

Triple-shoot 

• Companion plants sown on the surface suppress weeds

1. The GreenDrill 501 enables placement in the seed row and on the surface. 
2. Each individual hopper can be independently controlled.
3. On the surface
4. e.g.: 2 cm 
5. e.g.: 7 cm

Advantages of the Cirrus hopper

• Good accessibility via the front ladder or lateral loading board  
• Favourable centre of gravity and narrow hopper for good all-round visibility  
• Steep hopper walls for low residual volumes  
• Quick-emptying device for fast seed changeover

The open single-chamber hopper has a capacity of 3,600 l. Thanks to this large hopper, the re-fill times are kept to a minimum. A roll-over cover provides secure and rapid closure. This variant makes for a simple set-up which is suitable for sowing one type of seed.

The twin outlet pressurised hopper differs due to its divided hopper. Two different materials can be metered from this split hopper. The flexibly usable hopper with a capacity of 4,000 l can be used solely for seed or also in combination with fertiliser or different seed types.

Steps ease climbing up and the safe loading platform with railing facilitates access to the seed hopper. The hopper can be easily filled from small bags and big bags or via a filling auger on a trailer or a loading shovel.

Filling auger

The optional, hydraulically swivelable filling auger provides a convenient solution for quickly filling the Cirrus. Easy swivelling of the filling auger allows for convenient loading from a trailer. The filling auger can be combined with all other equipment and still allows for a good visibility during manoeuvring due to the arrangement of the auger on the left side.
