manent monitoring of the seed flow. Tram-
line control is organised so that the excess
seed is returned to tank. Via the flap box
the seed flow from the tramline seed hoses
is re-routed to the metering unit.

The electric drive is regulated via the AMATRON+
on-board computer. The calibration test in conjunction
with the electric drive is comfortably automated. The
electric drive offers additional functions, such as, for
example, the pre-metering of the seed at the beginning
of the field and the increase and reduction of the seed
rate during operation.
The drive is carried out mechanically via the star
wheel and Vario gearbox or electrically via electric
motor. The seed rate is set on the infinitely variable
gearbox. With the aid of the calculator disc rule only
one calibration test is necessary.

Hopper and loading board

The large hopper is easily accessed via the steps and

loading board. Sieves protect the contents against
foreign objects.
Easy filling of the hopper from the loading board via a
trailer mounted filling auger, from big bags or with a
loading shovel. The swivelable hopper cover prevents
dust and moisture penetrating the hopper.

Fan drive with a choice of V-belt via PTO shaft

through drive or hydraulic. The hydraulic drive offers
the advantage that the fan is driven independently
from soil tillage implement ensuring a constant flow of
air to deliver the seed from metering to the distributor
head. With the new metering device the metering rollers
can easily be exchanged. This allows the precise
metering with good longitudinal distribution for all
seeds and seed rates even at high operational speeds.

AD-P Special AMAZONE sowing combinations: With RoTeC precision and efficiency
For all soil conditions the suitable technology!
Sowing disc

With the combination of AMAZONE soil tillage implements and AMAZONE seed drills soil tillage and sowing are
carried out as efficiently as possible. Especially in combination with the rotary cultivator – the original that is only
available from AMAZONE – the sowing combination can be carried out directly into stubble without any pre-work.
The rotor shafts and tine carriers forged as one piece make the
AMAZONE KE rotary harrows incredibly strong. The deep gear
trough casing made from high-grade steel is highly torsion resist-
ant. The huge underbelly clearance ensures an optimum material
passage even when the tines are severely worn with a resulting
ideal structure obtained to ensure an optimum field emergence of
the young plants.
The three components for a perfect coulter:
• Sowing disc made from wear resistant boron steel with clearly
improved lifespan
• Furrow former made from hard cast alloy
• Depth limiter and cleaning disc made from elastic polyurethane Depth

on-board computers
The AMALOG+ and AMATRON+ on-board computers control the
tramline system and pre-emergence markers
A sensor monitors the creation of tramlines and the re-programming
to other tramline rhythms is very simple. Working position of track
markers and tramline control, sown area, fan speed and fill level are
displayed.
Additionally AMATRON+ allows for the adjustment of the seed rate,
for instance, in 10 % steps, and the creation of intermittent tramlines in
hilly terrain from the tractor cab. For this, in the tramline seeds are sown
and then not sown so that, although the tramline is still visible, any water
erosion down the tramlines is slowed down by the sown areas. With the
integrated serial interface the AMATRON+ can also be used in combination
with GPS terminals for part area site-specific sowing.
