Amazone extends hoe range
With many European manufacturers releasing mechanical weeding systems to counter the backlash around the use and possible banning of agrochemicals, Amazone has added a new model to its Venterra mechanical hoe range.
Carrier XL 725 is available with 510mm diameter TrueCut discs, CrossCutter Discs or the recently introduced CrossCutter Disc Aggressive configurations. To suit different farming needs, the cultivator can be equipped with a wide range of front tools, rear roller/packer options and the small seeder BioDrill 360 unit.
In addition to the new model, the Carrier XL 425-725 family is also being updated with frame enhancements, including a strengthened parallel linkage for the rear packer. To allow easier set-up and guide the operator, all models are now fitted with new visible scales to help operators monitor the overall working depth and the front tool depth.
The new Carrier XL 725 also features a new transport height position scale for a safer road transport. The wider models, Carrier XL 625 and Carrier XL 725, can also be equipped with a new wheel axle, as well as 560/45 R22.5 wheels, approved for 40km/h road transport.
“Carrier XL is a well-known, versatile machine concept, that can help the farmer save passes, decreases machine costs per hectare and provides the best start possible for the coming crop, says Wolfram Hastolz, director tillage product management, at Väderstad.
“The new Carrier XL 725 will slot well into the product range.”
Carrier XL 725 is now available for order, with delivery from early 2024.
