New ZA-V Profis Control weigh-cell spreader with AMASPREAD+

At Agritechnica 2015 the new model ZA-V Profis Control will be introduced to the market and, as standard, the ZA-V Profis Control features the new, machine specific AMASPREAD⁺ operating terminal.

The new AMASPREAD⁺ operating terminal has been freshly designed specifically for fertiliser spreader operation. All the important functions now can be directly accessed via illuminated function keys. These soft keys and the illuminated 5.7" display with its large icons and clear, unmistakable figures show all the functions and the simple operating structure and menu guidance of the AMASPREAD⁺ providing a high level of operational comfort.

The complete settings for a total of 20 different fertiliser types can be stored and recalled at any time directly in the terminal. With documentation of the worked area, the applied quantity and the time taken, AMASPREAD⁺, in addition, features a job management system of up to 99 jobs.

As standard, all ZA-V Profis Control with AMASPREAD⁺ feature a forward speed dependent spread rate regulation and state-of-the-art 200 Hz weighing technology via two weigh cells. As an option, a tilt sensor is also available for the ZA-V Profis Control resulting always in a precise weight monitoring, even in undulating terrain. In addition, the ZA-V Profis Control offers the option of low level sensors which display a warning message in the terminal individually for the left and right hand hopper tips as soon as the pre-set minimum fill level has been reached.

The Limiter V⁺ border spreading device is also operated via the AMASPREAD⁺. In the fertiliser menu, separate pre-set adjustments can be saved for any individual fertiliser type including, for instance, the settings for side, border and water course spreading and these can be accessed directly via the individual function keys on the operator interface. In this way, when using the mechanically-driven ZA-V in conjunction with AMASPREAD⁺, the farmer can now, depending on the border spreading situation and quite simply at the press of a button, changeover from normal spreading to side, border or water course spreading on the move from the tractor seat.

The ability to be able to change between the different spreading functions at the field edge offers the big advantage that when side spreading next to neighbouring fields, the full yield potential of that area can be exploited whereas, when spreading alongside water courses, any relevant environmental regulations can easily be complied with.
