Behind those headline-grabbing silver medal winning innovations, there is also an impressive array of new products:
For soil tillage then the monstrous Catros+ 12003-2TS is the immediate eye-catcher. Weighing in at just shy of 13 tons, the four-section folding machine can be operated at either 7m or 12 m in the field but folds down to just 3 m on the road, air braking means that 40 km/h is also possible. The ContourFrame system means it follows the field undulations perfectly. Based on the proven Catros+ disc system with its 510mm serrated discs carried on sealed for life oil-immersed, maintenance-free hubs, the machine is capable of working shallow for creating that perfect stale seedbed or down to 15 cm for medium-deep incorporation. It is also perfectly happy being used after the plough for seedbed preparation.

Alongside the flagship 12 m is the new range of trailed Catros models – 4002-2TS, 5002-2TS and 6002-2TS with its braked bogey chassis and expanded following roller range. Talking of following rollers the new U-Profile and Double U-Profile rollers will be shown alongside the Matrix 650 wedge ring roller and for the drill the new Cracker-Disc roller. There is a roller for all seasons with Amazone.

Following on from the success of the Cenius TX trailed mulch cultivators, the new Cenius 3003 Super will now adopt the pressure spring stone safety system from its bigger siblings as well as an extended range of share options now for the Cenius programme.

And don’t forget inversion tillage as the Cayron plough will also be shown with auto reset legs and a wider range of plough bodies.

Spreaders go increasingly hi-tech with the new Argus Twin spread pattern monitoring and adjustment system on the ZA-TS. Gone are the days of worrying about whether the product has changed from the previous batch or the fact that we even tested this fertiliser sort at all. The radar sensors keep the spread pattern in check continually. The new ZA-V range is also broadened.

Individual nozzle shut-off and in-cab nozzle selection with automatic switch over of nozzle size and type is now possible with AmaSelect, seen here at the show on the 12,000 litre trailed UX 11200 as well as the first showing of the 30 m boom now on the UF.

What with the new AD-P Super drill combination with multiple tank calibration potential via ISOBUS, 4m folding Cirrus trailed drills - with or without fertiliser placement and the updated third generation ED maize drills there is so much to see and talk about so come and find us on Stand G14, Hall 9 or visit Go for Innovations 2015 for a full rundown on what’s new at the Show.
