Pasture preparation might signal the right time to upgrade, or pair your tractor with a new implement from either our Amazone spraying and seeding equipment range, or with a Claas disc mower.
Amazone’s ZA-M mounted spreaders, offer hopper capacities up to 1,500 litres and spreading widths of 10-36 metres, placing great emphasis on safety and reliability. Key features include slow-turning, heavy-duty agitators to maintain a constant feed and the low disc speeds ensure an even flow, while protecting the integrity of the fertiliser granules.
Claas recently celebrated Disco’s success with the 250,000th mower – a model 3200 FC – rolling off the production line in Bad Saulgau, Germany. Disco mowers offer the cleanest cuts at high speeds, ensuring optimal forage quality.
