Amazone recently introduced the new ZG-TS 7501 and 10001 trailed fertiliser spreaders. As the model numbers suggest, these machines have hopper capacities of 7,500l and 10,000l respectively.

The introduction of these new ZG-TS 01s models will see the existing ZG-TS 5500 and 8200 being replaced.

These ZG-TS 01 spreaders are equipped with the TS Amazone spreading system.

The firm explained that these high-spec machines have working widths of up to 54m, a flow rate of up to 10.8kg/s or 650kg/min and a working speed up to 30km/h.

Amazone offers two drive systems as an option so farmers can run the spreader off smaller tractors if desired.

The ZG-TS 01 is equipped with an automatic steering axle with a steering angle of 28 ° as standard.

As a result, operators can use the conventional hydraulic system or use the new hybrid system.

This new system receives two-thirds of the power required from the tractor’s load-sensing oil circuit and the last third is generated by the on-board hydraulic system.

To make this possible, a hydraulic pump is driven directly off the tractor’s PTO.

The spreader can be equipped with both the ArgusTwin and WindControl systems.

It can also be equipped with the ProfisPro automatic weighing system, which sees the hopper and frame connected to the main frame by four load cells at the four corners.
