The new Amazone Pantera self-propelled sprayer was featured for the first time in the Sprays & Sprayers arena at Cereals 2014.
The first of the new generation 4502 sprayers are already working on farms and offer increased output and driver comfort compared to the out-going model.
At Cereals, the demonstration machine features new Category IV cab filtration where a pressurised air system excludes everything down to aerosol sizes particles out of the cab for enhanced operator working conditions as there’s no additional PPE needed while driving.
The new larger 4,800-litre tank and the new 218hp, emissions-friendly Deutz engine offer increased performance and residual spray volumes are yet further reduced with the new Altek pump layout and shortened pipework systems.
Self-steer is carried out via the Amapad controller and the complete cleaning, filling, washing, mixing cycle is all simplified or automated by the use of clever electronics.
Even without self-steer, Amapad still offers parallel tracking and SectionControl, plus the virtual Amaclick switch box system as standard.
Data transfer for documentation, field boundaries and variable rate application is again via ISO-XML files to a USB stick.
