Cut with care
OPINION: The new government has clearly signalled big cuts across the public service.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the first Amazone seed drill – the 2m wide horse-drawn D1 launched in 1949.
At next week’s Agritechnica Event – in Hanover, Germany – Amazone will showcase several tweaks to its sprayer line-up, alongside the arrival of some new additions.
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.
Paintwork on a fertiliser spreader is exposed to heavy wear and tear due to the potentially corrosive nature of the products being spread, particularly if they are exposed to any moisture.
At the recent SIMA Show in Paris, Amazone has introduced the Centaya Special; a pneumatic, mounted seed drill, with a working width of 3m and hopper sizes of 1,000 or 1,500 litres capacity.
Ag machinery maker Amazone has paired up its Precea precision air seeder and Combi-Disc 3000 compact disc harrow to deliver onepass seedbed preparation and sowing, with operating speeds of up to 15km/h.
While Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) has become increasingly popular over the last decade, German company Amazone is looking to take things further, by placing an emphasis on individual rows.
