Amazone Catros

Maximizing Speed and Soil Quality

The Amazone Catros compact disc harrow is designed for operations where high-speed cultivation is essential to meet strict seasonal deadlines. The primary purpose of this implement is the intensive incorporation of stubble and crop residues into the soil profile at shallow depths. By operating at speeds ranging from 12 to 18 km/h, the Catros allows farmers to cover vast acreages efficiently without sacrificing quality.

Real-World Farming Scenarios

• Post-Harvest Stubble Cultivation: Rapidly chops and mixes residue to stimulate germination of volunteers and weeds, trapping moisture effectively within the upper soil layer.
• Seedbed Preparation: Creates a fine, level soil structure, ensuring precise seed-to-soil contact. This uniform finish is critical for consistent emergence across the entire field.
• Cover Crop Incorporation: Efficiently shears through green manure, breaking it down into the soil to boost organic matter and nutrient availability.

The core of the Catros performance lies in its maintenance-free bearing units and individual disc suspension. Each disc is mounted on rubber spring elements, allowing the unit to contour to uneven terrain while providing impact protection against rocks or obstacles. By eliminating the need for daily greasing, Amazone ensures that this machine spends its time in the field, maximizing uptime during the most critical windows of the agricultural cycle.
