Update March 21, 2020: this tour has been cancelled until further notice.
Following its inaugural showing at Agritechnica 2019, Amazone’s unique all-black Pantera 450350 is being let out on tour for the next six months.
Designated the Black Isle to the Black Sea Tour, this elegantly-lacquered self-propelled sprayer will leave Scotland and wing its way South across 11 countries and travelling about 6,000km in 23 weeks; the machine ending up on the coast for a paddle in Bulgaria in and around September 2020.
In Britain, the grand tour starts on March 31 at the Black Isle Showground for a breakfast meeting, courtesy of local Amazone dealer, Mark Garrick Ltd, where visitors can come and check out the new model 4503 with its Category IV cab; Stage V emission system; the all-new ContourControl boom with SwingStop; Comfort-Pack II; its eloquent Amazone in-house developed software; and the many thought-through tweaks to what’s already a successful product.
