This spreader, according to Amazone, combines the advantages of the TS spreading system, with its disc-integrated AutoTS for optimum border spreading results, with maximum efficiency in spreading lime. Both granular mineral fertilisers and bulk limes can be applied precisely through one machine by means of a simple conversion between the TS spreading system and the newly developed lime spreader unit. This new machine is available in Special and heavier Super frames. The former comes with a hopper capacity of 6,800L and 9,000L with a maximum permissible machine weight of 17t; the latter has a capacity up to 11,200L and a weight of 21t. Instead of a simple chute via which the fertiliser is guided onto the disc, a defined delivery point adjustment is integrated into the ZG-TX. This in turn enables features such as Headland Control and Section Control. As a result, the spreading unit, familiar from the TS spreaders, provides precise spread patterns up to a working width of 54m. When combined with the optional FlowControl torque measuring system, an exact spread rate regulation is guaranteed. The fertiliser is precisely metered using the intelligent interaction between the electric double shutter and floor belt speed. This is also possible for each side independently when using application maps.
The AutoTS disc-integrated border spreading system is fitted during assembly to the right-hand side of the machines as part of the TS spreading system. This guarantees an optimum border spreading result right up to the edge of the field, even at large working widths. Previously a feature only found on the ZA-TS and ZG-TS precision spreaders, the system is now also used on the ZG-TX. As a result, up to 17 per cent additional yield is possible in comparison to conventional border spreading systems. The use of such a border spreading system in a combi spreader is unique.
The ZG-TX Super has an axle load of 15t combined with a drawbar load of 4t, enabling the maximum load to be carried on a single axle. Steep hopper walls and an optional chain rake guarantee that all materials, even bulk lime, will flow smoothly to the spreading unit.
The right control system is available for every application with the two operating concepts Easy and Tronic, according to Amazone. The new intuitive Isobus control provides all the functions of the Isobus world in the ZG-TX Tronic. In addition to Section Control, part-area, site-specific application and job management, the control system can be integrated in the operating system of the tractor with AUX-N.
