The Profihopper is nicely compact and all the important components are within easy reach. This makes maintenance and cleaning a breeze.

1. Diesel engine
2. Self-cleaning radiator system

The use of high-quality components, such as robust diesel engines, are a characteristic feature of these professional machines. Thanks to the modern exhaust gas after-treatment with recirculation and particle filter, no DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is required.

The AMAZONE Profihopper is fitted as standard with a self-cleaning coolant system (AMAZONE Cooling-System), that removes the contamination from the radiator grill of any plant residues that collect there, this is especially important when mulching.

Maximum power is available at all times thanks to the automated engine management system on the Profihopper 1500. However, the engine works efficiently and economically when maximum power is not needed.

A distinction is made between transport and work modes as well as the new ECO mode, in order to make optimum use of the power of the Profihopper 1500.

The benefits: 

• Optimisation of the fuel consumption by matching the power utilisation. 
• 45 % higher performance in tall grass (compared to the Profihopper 1250).

In ECO mode, the rotor is driven at a reduced speed of 2500 rpm, and the revs of the diesel engine are at just 2000 rpm. This saves fuel and reduces the noise level by up to 4.5 dB. The new ECO mode is ideal for collecting leaves and for mowing under easy conditions.

The benefits: 

• High work and transport speeds. 
• ECO mode for reduced fuel consumption and large-capacity fuel tank give long working periods. 
• Modern exhaust gas treatment without DEF.

Large fuel tanks, with a capacity of 40 and 55 l on the Profihopper 1250 and Profihopper 1500 respectively, guarantee uninterrupted operation, even during long working days and high usage: Less downtime, greater impact, more flexibility.

The engine revs are determined exclusively by the forward speed in transport mode. Maximum forward speed is 20 km/h.

In work mode, the engine speed is increased to 2,800 rpm. The driving speed is then limited to 11 km/h. The perfect interaction of drive and engine power allows maximum coverage of up to 15,000 m² per hour, thanks to the working width of 1.50 m.

Equipped with intelligent 4WDi all-wheel drive, the speeds of the four driven wheels are individually controlled depending on the steering wheel position and the forward speed. The Profihopper actuates the drive to the steered rear wheels only when the front wheels need this assistance. The system functions both when going forwards or backwards.

Benefits of the 4WDi technology

• 0-turning circle steering
• Increased safety at maximum steering lock
• Also for difficult applications, such as, for instance, in cases of slippage on wet ground or in sloping terrain
• All-wheel drive only when necessary reduces the fuel consumption and saves the environment

Also, when working under difficult operating conditions – for example, when slipping on wet ground or when working on sloping terrain – the operator especially benefits from the intelligent four-wheel drive. The danger of slippage is minimised because every wheel is driven at all times at the optimum speed. This results in greater safety and improved operational performance, e.g. fewer wheel marks on lawns.
