Amazone has announced a series of updates to its ZG-TX combi spreader range, including integrated weighing and FlowControl spread rate regulation for lime.
The weighing system enables accurate fill level indications and offline spread rate regulation of fertiliser and lime. Weight is measured by two integrated weigh cells positioned between the axle and the frame, as well as by an additional sensor on the drawbar.
The weight is clearly displayed on the Isobus terminal.
As an option, the weighing system can be linked to the work lights, which will flash in sequence to indicate the fill level of the hopper.
As it is integrated into the Isobus system, calibration can be fully automated, with the weight being checked after a known quantity has been spread.
When working with lime, a newly developed driveline enables torque measurements to be used to regulate spread rate. FlowControl automatically adjusts the discharge of material.
Both systems are now available for all Isobus-equipped ZG-TX models. This applies both to the ZG-TX Super, with a maximum permissible machine weight of 21 tonnes, and the ZG-TX Special with 12.5 tonnes.
