    Machine type: For all spare parts, options and fitting parts which have AMAZONE not been approved by AMAZONE as well as in case of Pack Top seed drill any other arbitrary technical changes the liability of AMAZONE for resulting damage is ruled out.

  • Page 8: Technical Data

    1000 l t2013gb03 Seed box, metering unit, distributor head and blower fan of the AD-P Special are fixed to the AMAZONE soil tillage implement with the aid of a coupling frame. The coulter frame rests on the strong roller. On AMAZONE combinations the seed placement depth remains the same even if the working depth of the soil tillage implement is changed.

  • Page 9: Amazone Ws (Suffolk)-Coulter

    2 - 3 AMAZONE WS (Suffolk)-coulter The AMAZONE WS-coulter (Fig. 2.2) is equipped with an exchangeable coulter tip (Fig. 2.2/1) made from cast iron. Due to its high wear resistance, cast iron is a proven coulter tip material. However, wear cannot be avoided during large area operation on aggressive, sandy and sharp edged soils.

  • Page 10: Amazone-Sabre Coulter Tip (Option)

    2 - 4 AMAZONE-sabre coulter tip (Option) The shallow angle of the AMAZONE sabre coulter tip (Fig. 2.4/1) allows a better straw passage. The larger surface of the coulter reduces the penetrating depth. That is why the sabre coulter tip can be used for a blockage-free mulch sowing in well mixed straw.

The steel disc (Fig. 2.5/1) is off set by only 7° as seen in the driven direction so that even at high forward speeds only a little soil is moved.
