The Pantera self-propelled sprayer is now available with the new high-clearance chassis that allows flexible, hydraulic adjustment of both the ground clearance and the track width.
The Pantera-HW self-propelled field sprayer is extremely versatile with a track width adjustment range of:
- 2.25m to 3.00m with a ground clearance of 1.25m or
- 2.45m to 3.20m (maximum 3.30m) with a ground clearance of 1.70m.
In spite of its higher centre of gravity, the Pantera 4504-HW turns out to be very stable and can be flexibly used in a wide variety of crops and row spacings. In particular, contractors looking to offer a flexible plant protection service across a wide range of customers and crops can clearly increase the scope of crop protection treatments possible.
In addition to the standard drive wheel motor guards with additional drive wheel gearbox covers, crop dividers and the underbelly cover, Amazone offers three more optional extras on the Pantera-HW for optimum protection of the crop.
The SunflowerKit was specially developed for the Pantera-HW in order to be able to carry out plant protection and fertiliser applications in tall sunflower crops without causing excessive plant damage. The kit consists of crop dividers, wheel housings and a shaped, flexible underbelly sheet. The crop dividers precisely separate the plants between the rows directly in front of the tyres. Thanks to the profile of the underbelly sheet and the properties of the flexible material, the sunflowers gently slide under the machine without hindrance.
The optional lift module 700 can be used to raise the Super-L2 boom by a further 70cm. When used with this lift module, the Pantera-HW has an application height of 3.85m, measured from the lower edge of the nozzle.
Handling is made especially comfortable by Comfort-Pack plus. Instead of operating taps, TwinTerminal 7.0 makes machine operation much easier with its pressure-sensitive touchscreen. The spray agent circuit is completely controlled solely via the touchscreen of the secondary terminal, which functions perfectly even when wearing gloves. The user just selects the desired function and the sprayer adjusts itself automatically!
In the job computer, two individual filling profiles for different operators or applications can be stored. For filling, just the hose has to be coupled and the machine automatically fills the spray agent tank and fresh water rinse tank up to the desired tank fill level. As an option, the operator can select an individually adjustable pause in the filling of the spray agent tank.
The complete sprayer, along with the induction bowl, can be cleaned fully automatically. For this purpose, the Pantera with Comfort-Pack plus is equipped with the following cleaning programs: intensive clean, quick clean and boom rinsing. In addition, after every fill, the induction bowl rinses itself on its own.
Comfort-Pack plus includes a fresh water pump with an output capacity of 160 lit/min. This can be used to supply the induction bowl with fresh water from the fresh water tank during bowser filling. The fresh water pump can be used to fill the fresh water tank and the spray agent tank in parallel via the suction port. The additional fresh water pump also enables faster cleaning of the Pantera.
