Citan trailed seed drill

Flexibly combined
The Citan 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 tank is not required, it can be completely filled with just one seed type.

The options:

Advantages of single-shoot:

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

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 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

AMAZONE offers Comfort-Pack 1, with its TwinTerminal 3.0, for the Citan with 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 carry out the calibration and input the data directly at 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 the TwinTerminal without having to repeatedly get off and on the tractor
