Amazone will launch an updated range of its AD-P Special and AD-P Super pneumatic seed drills at Cereals 2011.
The new models, which are part of the company's Generation 2011 offering, now feature Amazone's Roller Drill System, which features wedge ring rollers, RoTeC Control disc coulters and Exact following harrow or Roller harrow. These elements are perfectly matched to give more even and precise seed placement and embedment.
In addition, the AD-P pneumatic seed drills are available now, from choice, in row spacings of either 12.5cm or 16.6cm. Plus, just for use on the AD-P Special, Amazone has extended the range of operator terminals by adding the new Amadrill+. Offering control of the electric metering drive system, in addition to the functions familiar from the Amalog+ terminal (tramline control, pre-emergence markers, hopper level monitoring), the machine specific Amadrill+ terminal enables adjustment of the seed rate while on the move and the creation of intermittent tramlines. Up to now this was only possible with the more expensive Amatron+ terminal.

Designed for operation on the AD-P Special, Amazone now offers the new Amadrill+ terminal for controlling the electric metering drive system.

    In total Amazone offers five different models of the AD-P pneumatic sowing combination. The AD-P Special range in working widths of 3.0m, 3.5m and 4.0m are ideally suited for small- to medium-sized farms. The seed hoppers of these versions have a capacity of either 750 or 1,250 litres and can both be increased by 250 litres using hopper extensions.
    The AD-P Super has been designed to be ideal for operation on arable farms of 200-500ha or for contractors. It includes two versions in either 3.0m and 4.0m working widths and a 1,500-litre seed hopper that can be increased to 2000 litres.
    All these new models can be combined with a rotary cultivator or rotary harrow and either a wedge ring roller or tooth packer roller to suit.
