Amazone’s trailed XTend system is aimed at farmers who want to apply seed and/or fertiliser using tractors that may not be necessarily fitted with three-point linkage. The 4,200 litre hopper which can be split 50:50 is mounted on a single axle towed behind the tractor. The hopper is connected to the following cultivator by means of a CAT 3 or 4N lower link cross shaft. It can be used in conjunction with implements from other manufacturers which broadens its appeal. Two electrically driven metering units can apply either seed or fertiliser in rates varying from 2 to 400 kg/ha. The hydraulically operated fans take care of getting the seed or fertiliser from the hopper to the cultivator.
