Precea precision air seeder

The AmaCheck in-cab terminal was specially developed for monitoring the Precea Special and its mechanical singling drive and mechanical fertiliser metering system. No ISOBUS system is required on the tractor. The terminal is very clearly laid out and can be conveniently operated. 

Functions of the AmaCheck:

• Precise monitoring of the seed placement accuracy
• Fill level monitoring
• Speed display
• Hectare meter

AMAZONE offers an optimum solution for the Precea Special without ISOBUS control in the shape of the AmaScan 2 in-cab terminal. The simple operation is the tailored solution for machine operation without ISOBUS and yet still provides a high level of comfort. AmaScan 2 offers even more functions than the AmaCheck operator terminal.

Functions of AmaScan 2: 

• Precise monitoring of the seed placement accuracy 
• Fill level monitoring 
• Speed display 
• Hectare meter 
• Fertiliser monitoring

One language, many benefits!
Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance:

• International standardisation provides uniform interfaces and data formats, meaning that compatibility with other manufacturers is ensured
• Plug and Play between the machine, tractor and other ISOBUS equipment

AMAZONE machinery and operator terminals offer a range of functions which are very easy and safe to operate.

The benefits:

• Highest compatibility and safety function of your ISOBUS equipment
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machines from AMAZONE come ready-equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functions as standard
• Practice-oriented machine software and logical menu structure
• MiniView display with all AMAZONE terminals and additional ISOBUS terminals. See, for example, the machine data in the map view.
• Possibility of operating the machine via the tractor terminal or a twin terminal solution
• Flexible assignment of the map and machine view between the tractor terminal and the operator terminal
• Unique operation concept. Freely configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver
• Useful additional functions such as automatic boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers
• Integrated Task Controller data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive
• Tailored to the machine
• Function scope above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

Precise sowing is very important, in order to avoid over- and under-sowing in critical areas. A solution for precise placement is offered by the individual row shut-off of the Precea. This enables each row to be controlled and individually switched off or on. This means that a considerable amount of seed is saved, especially in wedge shaped fields and on the headland. Each row corresponds to a switchable part-width section.

1. Virtual headland
2. Field application maps for different seed rates are also possible
3. Worked area
4. The seeder automatically switches off precisely

If the operating terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.

Benefits of automatic part-width section control: 

• Stress relief on the driver 
• Increase in precision, also at night or at higher  
• speeds 
• Fewer overlaps and gaps 
• Saving on input costs 
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.
