German cultivation and seeding manufacturer
Amazone has
launched a new semimounted
plough range,
suitable for tractors in
the 400hp class.
Available in seven,
eight and nine furrow
variants, the Tyrok 400
series features the Speed-
Blade plough body. This
incorporates a patented,
extra-large front shinpiece
that helps to reduce
wear rates across the
main body of the plough
– thereby reducing wearing-
metal costs.
Other new features
include SmartTurn; where
at the headland, the turnover
cycle – which takes
just nine seconds – is
slowed at each end of
the ram stroke to create
a damping effect. This
reduces stress on the
frame of the plough.
Meanwhile, AutoAdapt
automatically adjusts the
front furrow hydraulically,
after the overall ploughing
width is adjusted, to
accommodate changing
soil conditions or sloping
ground.
The machine offers
mechanical furrow width
and hydro-pneumatic
suspension on the transport
wheel as standard.
There are also a wide
range of options, including
hydraulic working
width adjustment,
hydraulic overload protection
and traction control.
The latter uses a
hydraulic cylinder to
transfer weight to the
tractor’s back axle, helping
to reduce wheel slip
and overall fuel consumption.
A selection of solid
or slatted mouldboards
are complemented by a
range of skimmers, trash
boards, landside protectors
and sword landsides
for stony ground. It also
comes with a disc coulter
assembly for the last
furrow and a swivel press
arm for working with
packer assemblies.
As we go to press,
Rural News understands
that the NZ importer
Landpower is reviewing
the new range with
regards to introducing
it to the New Zealand
market.
