Cirrus trailed cultivator drill

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, with a pneumatic braking system, single-circuit braking system or dual-circuit 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 4003, 4003- 2 and 6003-2 with a hopper capacity of 3,600 l for 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!”

The Cirrus-C system

In addition to the single-tip, open hopper version of the Cirrus, the Cirrus-C offers an advanced solution with a twin-chamber pressurised hopper and an integrated conveyor section. If, for example, fertiliser is to be applied in addition to seed, the Cirrus-C, in working widths of 4 to 6 m, enables two different materials to be metered simultaneously. In this case, the drills can sow either a second crop or fertiliser directly with the seed into the same seed row using the Single-Shoot method. The Cirrus-C hopper has a capacity of 4,000 l and is split in the ratio of 40: 60.

The Cirrus-CC system

With the Cirrus-CC, AMAZONE has extended the Cirrus range with an additional variant, featuring an innovative conveyor concept for applying 2 different materials. Thanks to the versatile combination options of the conveyor sections, the Cirrus-CC offers the user a wide range of possibilities for modern agronomical practices.

Like the Cirrus-C, the Cirrus-CC also has a twin-chamber pressurised hopper with a total capacity of 4,000 l.

In addition, it is equipped with a separate distributor head and the FerTeC single-disc coulter. This allows a wide variety of different establishment methods to be implemented – from classic simple sowing to Double-Shoot applications with simultaneous Single-Shoot application.

In conjunction with the mounted GreenDrill 501, simultaneous sowing of a third component is even possible – the so-called Triple-Shoot method.

FerTeC coulter

Thanks to the additional FerTeC single-disc coulter, positioned in front of the tyre packer, the Cirrus-CC 2 allows you to meter and deliver the applied material separately. For example, fertiliser can be applied at the same time as the seed – a decisive advantage for promoting early plant development.

All the systems 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

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 single-chamber hopper has a capacity of 3,600 l. Thanks to this large hopper, refill 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 swivelling filling auger provides a convenient solution for quickly filling the folding Cirrus models. 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.
