    Amazone: Improving visibility with cameras and monitors


    Amazone has selected the optimum mounting positions to both protect the camera and to ensure the best view.
     Front and rear implements on tractors, either mounted or trailed, often obstruct the view of the driver, both on the move and when manoeuvring. Camera systems can help solve this problem and reduce the potential risks from handling machinery, and with this in mind Amazone now offers a camera system from Brigade as optional equipment for its FT 1001 front tank for sprayers, FPS/FRS front tanks for sowing and numerous other implements from its plant-protection, fertilising and sowing ranges.
