Precea precision air seeder

A seeder in a class of its own

With the Precea, AMAZONE offers a precision air seeder that meets the highest requirements. The new, high-performance centralised singling drive and the first-class PreTeC mulch seeding unit are perfectly matched. Both systems work almost independently of the speed and the field conditions. The high seed placement accuracy impresses from the first to the last grain and so does the intuitive and comfortable operation of the precision air seeder.

The benefits:

• Accurate seed placement
• Excellent depth control with accurate sowing depth
• High work rates due to forward speeds of up to 15 km/h
• More comfort due to the very simple adjustment of the singling and the sowing units

CC = Version for fertiliser application

There are different versions of the Precea available. A distinction is made between the Special and Super. The main difference between the Special variant and the Super is in the singling drive. This is mechanical on the Special and is capable of forward speeds up to 12 km/h. 
In contrast, the Precea Super is equipped with the ElectricDrive singling drive. This makes possible forward speeds of up to 15 km/h. A detailed overview of the most important differences between the two variants is shown in the table below.

Precea 3000 
The Precea 3000 is the compact mounted high-speed precision air seeder. A fertiliser application hopper is available as an option 
(CC models). Maximum flexibility is built in as the number of rows and the row spacings can be changed.

Precea 4500 and 6000 with rigid frame 
As an alternative to the telescopic and folding frames, these models are also offered with a rigid frame. Row spacings from 45 to 80 cm are possible with this format. On the Precea 6000, the number of rows possible is between 8 and 12 and between 5 and 8 for the Precea 4500.

Overview:

• Precea 3000 (CC) Special / Super
  Number of rows: 4, 5, 6 | Row spacings: 45 to 80 cm

  Number of rows: 4, 5, 6 | Row spacings: 50 to 75 cm
• Precea 3000-ACC Super
  Number of rows: 4, 5, 6 | Row spacings: 50 to 75 cm

Row spacing adjustment in no time at all 
The telescopic Precea stands for high flexibility.  Row spacings can be changed in no time thanks to the telescopic frame design. There are three different telescopic frame options which enable different row spacings. All the models can also be configured with fertiliser application equipment. Furthermore, it is possible to combine the Precea 4500-2 with a mounted front hopper for fertiliser. 

The benefits:

• Operating speed: up to 15 km/h
• Number of rows: 6 or 7
• Row spacings: 45 to 80 cm
• Fertiliser hopper: CC models 950 or 1,250 l – FCC models 1,600 or 2,200 l

Single and 2-stage telescopic function – transport width 3.3 m* or 3 m

AMAZONE offers two different frame options, one with single and one with 2-fold telescopic function. The frame with single telescopic function is cheaper and has a transport width of 3.3 m*. The 2-stage telescopic frame has a transport width of 3 m. The unique bearing concept, with maintenance-free bearings, ensures a long service life and makes retracting and extending the frame particularly convenient.

* Country-specific road traffic regulations apply and must be complied with, meaning that special approval may be required.

Variable telescopic frame – telescopic precision

The variable telescopic frame allows flexible and convenient adjustment of the row spacing to suit different crops. Different row spacings are therefore a problem of the past. The Precea frame is limited just to the essentials. For example, the telescopic frame offers real operational comfort. Extend the frame at the press of a button quickly, reliably and conveniently either out or back together.

Different guide wheel options

The Precea 4500 and 4500-2 have two guide wheel options which can be mounted ahead of, or in between, the seeding units. Support wheels in front of the mounting frame offer the full spectrum of row spacing, however, the very compact option of between the seeding units impresses with a clearly reduced lifting power requirement.

Folding – Quick and precise
The Precea 6000-2 is the high-speed, 3-point linkage mounted precision air seeder with a pressurised singling system. The machine can be supplied with a rear fertiliser hopper, as in the CC model, or without . The number of sowing units can be easily changed thanks to the special folding frame. The model can also be equipped with a hydraulic tramline offset.

The benefits:

• Operating speed: up to 15 km/h
• Number of rows: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
• Row spacings: 45 to 90 cm 60 to 90 cm with CC models
• Fertiliser hopper: 950 or 1,250 l

The frame – hydraulic and quick folding 
Also equipped with a folding frame, the Precea 6000- 2 can be quickly and easily moved from the working position to the transport position. The high-output machine folds from 6 m working width to a manageable 3 m transport width at the touch of a button.

The benefits:

• Transport width 3 m
• Transport height of less than 4 m
• Low lifting power requirement due to a short and compact design
• Excellent accessibility of the seed hoppers

• Precea 6000-2
  Number of rows: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
• Precea 6000-2CC
  Number of rows: 7, 8, 9

Front/rear combination – manoeuvrability combined with maximum performance 
The Precea 6000-2FCC model comes with the new FTender mounted front hopper for maximum fertilisation efficiency. Capacities of either 1,600 l or 2,200 l result in less downtime and therefore higher outputs. The weight distribution on the tractor is ideal thanks to the combination of front and rear mounting.

The benefits:

• Operating speed: up to 15 km/h
• Number of rows: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
• Row spacings: 45 to 90 cm 
• Fertiliser hopper: 1,600 or 2,200 l

The support wheels – in front of or in the folding frame
The Precea 6000-2FCC can be equipped with a choice of positions for the support wheels. This ensures the perfect configuration for any farm. The support wheels in front of the frame allow row spacings from 45 to 90 cm. Up to 12 sowing units can be installed due to the narrower row spacing.

The support wheels in the frame enable row spacings from 65 to 80 cm. The machine remains very short and compact.

The frame – flexible and fast 
Also equipped with a folding frame, the Precea 6000-2FCC can be quickly and easily moved from the working position to the transport position. In this respect, the centre joint is designed in such a way that row spacing and number of rows can be changed in a short time with little effort.

Front/rear combination with active soil tillage – everything in a single pass

The rotary cultivator and precision air seeder combination provides the highest possible performance. The active soil tillage tool upfront means that a pass can be completely dispensed with. FTender capacities of either 1,600 l or 2,200 l result in less downtime and therefore higher outputs. The weight distribution on the tractor is even better thanks to the combination of front and rear mounting.

The benefits:

• Operating speed: up to 12 km/h
• Number of rows: 8
• Row spacings: 75 cm
• Fertiliser hopper: 1,600 or 2,200 l

KG 6002-2 rotary cultivator - "the folding Flagship"

The KG 6002-2 folding rotary cultivator, in its 6 m working width, is particularly impressive with its high work rates. The Cultimix system provides the rotary cultivator with a high clearance and unbeatable robustness. Thanks to its hydraulic folding, the KG 6002-2 is also safe on the road with a transport width of only 3 m.

A perfect seedbed

The KG 6002-2 folding rotary cultivator not only stands out as a result of its high work rate potential but also because of that perfect seedbed. The 20 tine carriers provide an intensive mixing of the soil. Harvest residues are thoroughly incorporated in the soil when mulch sowing. The tines pull themselves into the soil without any problem and reliably maintain the working depth, even under the toughest of conditions. The spring-loaded side plates retain the soil in the machine.

Exchangeable rear unit – Singling units or sowing coulters

The rotary cultivator and the Precea seed rail can be very easily separated to allow the rotary cultivator to be flexibly used elsewhere. Despite a working width of 6 m, the complete seed rail can be dismounted in just a short time. This also enables the rotary cultivator to be combined with the Avant 02 seed rail. As an alternative, the rotary cultivator can also be used on its own for seedbed preparation.
