Amazone's new AmaSpread 2 terminal is said to provide users with simple menu navigation of the ZA-V Profis Control weigh cell fertiliser spreader.
All spreading information is shown constantly on the 4.3- inch colour display, while allimportant functions such as application rate and the position of the border spreading device can be actuated directly using a back-lit button.
Additionally, spreading rates, area covered, working time and material-specific settings for up to 10 different fertilisers can be stored and recalled, while the terminal also allows for variable rate application in relation to forward speed, the manual switching of up to six partwidth sections and the use of the Profis weighing system.
The 200Hz weighing system is said to provide precise spread rate regulation which, says Amazone, results in a constant application rate, even with varying fertiliser quality. Combined with the optional tilt sensor, it guarantees precise weighing results, even on sloping ground.
A further feature allows operators to switch between side, boundary or watercourse spreading modes when using the optional Limiter V+ border spreading system. Other options include a hopper low level sensor and the integration of work light control via the terminal.
