Quick and safe with the induction bowl – trouble-free filling
The 60 l induction bowl is positioned directly underneath the operator control chest. The phenomenal suction capacity of 150 l/min guarantees the quick, absolutely trouble-free filling and a complete emptying. For inducting powders or granular spray agents, an additional mixing nozzle is positioned underneath the suction aperture which safely prevents any blockage of the suction aperture.
SUPER STABLE + SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT – AMAZONE booms in an aircraft wing design
The high-tensile steel profile is more than just a solid core
Thanks to their special profile design, AMAZONE booms are extremely rigid yet extremely light. The inside of the boom is made of high-tensile steel, so that the boom remains stable and spraying errors caused by oscillation are prevented. The 3-fold shock-absorbed suspension, hydraulic height adjustment and elastic skids guide the booms safely over the crop at the right distance.
It’s those important quality features that make the difference!
Compactness matters!
The UF 02 is ideal for use with crop-treatment tractors owing to the small centre of gravity distance, the sturdy construction and the lightweight design.

Wherever you are in the world, the wind is always blowing. According to Prof. Dr. Karl Wild, of HTW Dresden, the influence of wind on the spread pattern can be continuously monitored and automatically compensated for by a wind sensor. This enables an optimum spread pattern to be generated, even in difficult windy conditions.
The challenge: the wind is always blowing
Sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, sometimes continuously, sometimes gusting and from all different directions. As a result, spreading fertiliser within a tramline can be subject to different wind speeds and changing wind directions. When spreading fertiliser, wind is a parameter that you, as the user, can never influence directly. In practice, you spread your fertiliser on calm days, but even then, the wind continues to have a direct influence on the accuracy of application. In a cross wind, the spread pattern is compressed on one side and stretched on the other, creating an asymmetrical pattern. The aim of WindControl is to adapt the settings of the fertiliser spreader in real time, to maintain a symmetrical and precise spread pattern.
Without WindControl
With WindControl
The solution: WindControl
A high-frequency wind sensor attached to the machine measures both the wind speed and direction and conveys this information back to the job computer. Using this data, the computer calculates new settings for the delivery system and spreading disc speed, which are then automatically adjusted. In a cross wind, the disc speed is increased on the side into the wind and the delivery system is rotated outwards. At the same time, the disc speed is decreased on the side facing away from the wind and the delivery system is turned inwards. This automatically counteracts the effect of the wind, to ensure optimal lateral distribution. With WindContol, the spreading accuracy remains at a very high level, even under the influence of wind. In addition, WindControl creates larger time frames for spreading in windy conditions. As well as all the important parameters, you always have an eye on the current wind parameters, such as direction, speed and gustiness. WindControl also issues an automatic warning in strong winds, when the system is no longer able to compensate for the effects of the wind or when there are too many gusts of wind from different directions.
The wind sensor is automatically extended or retracted when the spreading discs are switched on or off. When extended, the wind sensor protrudes above tractor to prevent any air turbulence caused by the tractor being measured. When retracted, the wind sensor is located between the tractor and the spreader to protect it from low-hanging branches during road travel.
WindControl in practice: The economic efficiency
Key data and information
Field size 70 ha
Wind speeds of up to 27 km/h
WindControl improves the lateral distribution across 70 % of the area*
This means an additional yield of 24 €/ha as a result of WindControl*
* Results based on long-term trials
Example farm:
Size of farm: 500 ha
Average wheat yield: 7.8 t/ha
Average profit: 280 €/t
The wind is always blowing during the spreading season. Wind speeds of up to 27 km/h were measured on the 70 ha field during spreading. An average wind speed of 14 km/h was recorded. WindControl compensated for the effect of the wind on 70 % of the area during spreading, thereby optimising the lateral distribution by 5.6 %. Only 30 % did not require optimisation. This results in improved nutrient distribution and more uniform crops.
Based on long-term trials, which investigated the relationship between fertiliser distribution and the effect on yields, this provides an additional yield of ~1.1 % (Δ CV 5% = 1 % increase in yield). This corresponds to an additional revenue of 24 €/ha as a result of WindControl.

The effect of fluctuating fertiliser properties and qualities, changes in humidity and differing ground topography is automatically compensated for and a spread pattern with perfect lateral distribution maintained.
Profis weighing system
Precise monitoring and control of the application rate via the 200 Hz weighing technology and the tilt sensor. Input the spread rate, drive off and always apply the right quantity, even when border spreading and in wedge-shaped fields and, at the same time, have perfect control over the hopper fill level.
NEW: ProfisPro weighing system with FlowControl
ProfisPro combines the advantages of the weighing system with the FlowControl torque monitoring system: In addition to weighing, the quantity to each side is controlled by measuring the torque on each spreading disc. This guarantees a precise application rate from the very first second. Moreover, the ProfisPro spreader is equipped with independent high-speed monitoring and control of the two outlet openings.
AutoTS disc-integrated border spreading system
AutoTS guarantees the user significantly higher yields in the border area in comparison with existing border spreading procedures. You can conveniently switch between normal spreading and border spreading from the cab while driving, and activate side, border or water course spreading at any time, according to the headland location. Amazone offers settings for all these techniques.
GPS-Switch and DynamicSpread automatic part-width section control
Thanks to different spreading disc speeds, the hydraulic system enables the use of WindControl and ensures optimal lateral distribution during side, border and water course spreading. The automatic part-width section control with up to 128 part-width sections in the form of a kidney-shaped pattern guarantees a highly-precise shut-off in wedge-shaped fields or on the headland. Outer part-width sections can also be controlled.

Professional crop production is faced with ever greater challenges: The new Fertiliser Directive and the withdrawal of individual plant protection agents on the one hand combined with increasing resistance on the other. But the increasing number of extreme climatic events with persistent drought or increasingly frequent torrential rainfall also have a major impact on crop production.
Mounted or demounted – Clever, simple and flexible
Thanks to the QuickLink quick release coupling system, the seed drill can be easily and quickly linked to the various AMAZONE soil tillage implements without the need for tools. In this way, optimised sowing combinations can be put together to cope with the most diverse of soils and applications.
The answer to this question is currently the key driver for many innovations. The need for precision and automation in agricultural machinery will continue to increase in the future, in order to ensure optimum crop development with sustainable and good quality, whilst reducing the use of pesticides and fertilisers.
This means: Maintaining yields, saving costs and yet, at the same time, conserving the environment. We have therefore set ourselves three important...
The plant protection sector will have to change in the future.
Plant protection is an important part of agriculture for securing high yields and optimum quality. Due to the increasing world population, both factors play an enormous role in securing food supply. However, the chemical plant protection sector is also facing a big challenge in future. On the one hand there is the problem of resistance and on the other side there is an increasing amount of legal regulation.
