Twenty-five years ago, Amazone developed the Catros compact disc harrow. Designed as a high-performance shallow stubble cultivator, the three-point linkage mounted implement impressed from the start.
Over the years, the Catros has been continuously developed to meet the increasing demands of modern agriculture.
In 2003, the range was expanded to include additional working widths and offered with a new, hydraulic working depth adjustment feature.
In 2004, the switch was made to oil-immersed, maintenance-free disc bearings. This reduced set-up times and maintenance costs and also permitted an increase in performance.

In 2005, the range was further extended with the introduction of trailed models with integrated running gear, with greater working widths for use with smaller tractors.
In 2011, the introduction of the Catros+ model provided new disc diameters of 510mm and allowed more intensive incorporation of organic matter. The innovative TS bogey chassis and, for the first time, bolt-on bearing shafts on the disc arms offered greater flexibility.

In 2013, the pro-Pack was added as an optional extra for certain models. This is a special solution for long-term use in slurry application, which was supplemented shortly afterwards with a convenient central lubrication system.
In 2016, the Catros+ 12003-2TS became the new flagship of the Catros family. The 12-metre working width was designed to adapt to uneven ground thanks to the ContourFrame feature with its hydraulically pre-pressurised frame sections and individually suspended discs.
Thanks to ContourFrame, the Catros+ 12003-2TX adapts perfectly to the ground, even on uneven terrain.
In 2020, the introduction of the CatrosXL added a new dimension to the range of discs, expanding the range of applications. Its 610mm discs allowed for deep and intensive mixing of large amounts of organic matter.
The agriculture of tomorrow
Amazone says that recent years have been dominated by technical innovations designed to make soil tillage more sustainable and efficient.
Special optional equipment, such as the X-Cutter disc with a wavy profile, has been developed in response to the increasing demand for shallower soil tillage to protect the soil structure and conserve soil moisture in dry locations.

Amazone explained that it responded to the growing importance of field hygiene with leading tools such as the knife roller. This enables intensive shredding before incorporation, accelerating the decomposition process.
The front-mounted crush board provides a powerful crumbling and levelling effect, which, in combination with a rear roller and a harrow, is ideal for seedbed preparation.
The new Smart Frame System allows the working depth to be adjusted hydraulically from the cab. The depth is also adjusted independently of any leading tool.

The disc bearing, which the firm says has proven itself over two million times, and the HD roller bearing with metal face seal are completely maintenance-free thanks to being filled with gear oil.
At Agritechnica 2025, it introduced the Catros+ 12003-2TX. The 12.25m working width features a new folding design and integrated central running gear, a wide range of disc and roller options, as well as the option of an extended disc element for controlled traffic farming systems.
Amazone also presented AutoLane, a true-track following system which automatically compensates for drift on slopes.
Today, Amazone offers the Catros in working widths from 2.5m up to high-output machines of 12m.
