Amazone Catros 5002-

Efficiency and speed in soil tillage

The Amazone Catros 5002- compact disc harrow is a specialized tool for operations requiring high-speed soil preparation. Designed for intensity, it covers 5 meters in a single pass, ensuring consistent mixing and leveling even in challenging field conditions. It is the go-to machine for farmers looking to maximize their work rates during narrow sowing windows.

Practical application scenarios

• Stubble cultivation: With 460 mm discs and an aggressive working angle, this machine performs perfectly at depths of 3–8 cm. It incorporates harvest residues quickly, accelerating decomposition and moisture retention.
• Seedbed preparation: The unit creates a fine-crumb soil structure, ensuring optimal contact between seeds and the soil. The depth control is precise, allowing for uniform germination across the field.
• Cover crop incorporation: The robust frame clearance prevents clogging, allowing for smooth operation even in heavy biomass conditions.

In practice, the Catros 5002- excels at operating speeds of 12–18 km/h. At these speeds, the soil-residue mixture becomes highly effective, creating an ideal environment for biological activity. A key feature for modern operations is the maintenance-free bearing technology with high-quality seals; this removes the need for daily greasing, significantly reducing downtime during the busiest weeks of the season.

The machine's geometry ensures excellent ground contour following, which prevents gaps and untreated patches. During transport, the folding system makes it compact and easy to handle on public roads, while the maneuverability at headlands allows for quick turns, saving time and fuel in fields with irregular shapes.
