Innovations presented in 10 countries
On tour with AMAZONE! Over the past few weeks, two of our working students travelled through Europe on behalf of AMAZONE and presented two of our big new products. Emma Nottbohm and Jan Schmüser set off across Europe with our self-propelled Pantera 7004 crop protection sprayer and the trailed
ZG-TX 11200 combi spreader on-board.
Starting from the main factory in Hasbergen-Gaste, the tour travelled through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Croatia. Our two students finally found their way back home via Austria.
Emma Nottbohm and Jan Schmüser were representing AMAZONE and they explained the various sophisticated boom functions of the Pantera: Flex fold, ContourControl boom guidance and SwingStop.
On the way through these ten countries, we were able to present the new products to interested parties and potential customers at a total of 35 regional events. This gave contractors, farmers and cooperatives the opportunity of seeing for themselves our highlights and technical innovations in the fields of plant protection and fertilisation. The ZG-TX combi sprayer was a real hit with the audience, above all due to the simple conversion between the TS spreader unit and the new spreader unit for lime. This means that both mineral fertilisers and earth-moist limes can be precisely applied using just the one machine. The new self-propelled Pantera 7004 crop protection sprayer, on the other hand, impressed with its particularly high level of driving comfort thanks to the new chassis with automatic slope levelling. The new spray liquid tank with a capacity of 7,000 litres also attracted a lot of interest, so much so that the spectators would have liked to have kept the machine right there and then. In total, these two students covered a distance of 8,300 kilometres on tour, 7,200 of which were covered by the machines under their own steam. What an experience!
