New generation Catros-2TS

AMAZONE now offers a new generation of the folding Catros compact disc harrow with TS bogey chassis in three working widths: 4 m, 5 m and 6 m. Designated as the 02 series, the trailed Catros-2TS and Catros⁺-2TS versions feature a drawbar which is coupled to the tractor via the lower links with a Cat. III cross shaft. The advantage of the trailed version here is the improved operational flexibility of the machine with a wider working width being managed even by tractors with a low lift capacity. Another advantage of the TS bogey chassis is the possibility to fold the running gear in over the top of the machine to provide additional machine weight and an improved penetration behaviour of the discs into the soil.

Turning on the roller

In conjunction with the wedge ring roller, the Catros-2TS and the Catros⁺-2TS can be manoeuvred on the roller. So, on the headland, the machine is simply lifted via the lower links and during the turning procedure the machine runs on the roller. In this way, turning on the headland is simple and quickly done. Also on the headland, the machine weight is carried by the following roller, providing a soil structure-saving weight distribution. Turning on the roller is, in addition to the KW wedge ring roller or the KWM wedge ring roller with Matrix tyre profile, also possible with the Double U-Profile roller, the SW 600 cage roller and the PW tooth packer roller.

Braking system with 40 km/h permit

As a new option for the Catros-2TS and Catros⁺-2TS, AMAZONE now introduces a hydraulic or pneumatic braking system. If the Catros-2TS, or Catros⁺ 2TS, is equipped with an air braking system, a 40 km/h transport speed is legally possible allowing the quick movement from one field to the other.

Expansion of the following roller range

Depending on the soil type and operating conditions, the customer can choose the most appropriate roller for the Catros. With the new generation Catros-2TS and Catros⁺-2TS, the customer now can, apart from the well-known cage, tandem, knife ring, tooth packer or wedge ring rollers, also make use of the new DUW 580 Double U-Profile roller. The open U profile with its large contact surface provides a very high carrying capability for the roller. In conjunction with the modular design, that allows a very good passage of organic matter and soil, this roller shows its strength especially on very light land. Additional roller options for the Catros-2TS and Catros⁺-2TS are the new KWM 650 wedge ring and SW 600 cage rollers.
