Citan trailed seed drill

Flexibly combined
The Citan offers the option of placing fertiliser or a second seed type as a companion plant in the seed furrow together with the seed. The hopper is divided into 3 sections and can be flexibly combined. If division of the hopper is not required, it can be completely filled with just one seed type.

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

The options:

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

Metering cassettes for different seed types

Supplied as standard:

1.    2 x 20 ccm e.g. for rape, stubble turnips, lucerne
2.    2 x 120 ccm e.g. for catch crops
3    2 x 210 ccm e.g. for barley, rye, wheat
4.    3 x 600 ccm e.g. for spelt, oats, wheat
5.    2 x 660 ccm e.g. for beans, peas, fertiliser
6.    2 x 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 system enables easy adjustment of the seed rate from the tractor cab, pre-metering in field corners and calibration at the touch of a button.

For the Citan with ISOBUS, metering can even be carried automatically on a part-area, site-specific basis via application maps. 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 perform the calibration directly on the machine without having to repeatedly get in and out of the tractor. 

The TwinTerminal 3.0 consists of a water- and dust-proof housing with a 3.2" display and four large keys for operation.

The benefits:

• Easy calibration via the TwinTerminal without having to repeatedly get on and off the tractor
