Amazone UG

Purpose and Design Features

The Amazone UG trailed sprayer is a high-tech solution for the application of plant protection products and liquid fertilizers, designed for medium and large farms. The model range includes tank capacities of 2,200, 3,000, and 4,200 liters, paired with boom widths from 18 to 28 meters, ensuring high productivity on areas spanning hundreds of hectares. The core concept of the UG series is the combination of compact dimensions, a low center of gravity, and excellent maneuverability, which is essential for working on fields with complex layouts.

Chassis and Steering

The Amazone UG design is based on a robust frame integrated with a narrow drawbar, allowing the sprayer to accurately follow the tractor's track. The track width is adjustable from 1.5 to 2.25 meters, making the unit adaptable to any row spacing. A ground clearance of 780 mm ensures gentle handling of tall crops during later growth stages. The drawbar steering system provides a minimal turning radius, reducing crop damage at headlands.

Booms and Spraying System

UG series sprayers are equipped with Super-S booms, renowned for their rigidity and durability. The folding mechanism allows for efficient operation in fields with obstacles. The Distance-Control active boom guidance system maintains the set height above the soil or crop canopy, even at high travel speeds. The use of multi-nozzle bodies and high-precision nozzles ensures uniform coverage without gaps or overlaps, significantly saving on expensive chemical inputs.

Hydraulics and Electronic Control

The unit is fully integrated with ISOBUS systems, allowing the operator to control all application parameters from the tractor cab. AmaSpray+ or AmaTron 4 terminals provide process visualization, section control, and automatic shut-off via GPS. The hydraulic system requires minimal oil flow, enabling operation with medium-class tractors without overloading their hydraulic capacities.

Operational Advantages

The polyethylene tank features smooth inner walls to prevent chemical residue build-up and facilitate internal cleaning. The rinsing system includes a separate 350-400 liter fresh water tank, ensuring thorough cleaning of the system in field conditions. A centrifugal pump with a capacity of up to 250-500 l/min guarantees stable pressure even at high application rates, preventing pressure drops when using a large number of nozzles.

Maintenance and Reliability

All access points for filters and control elements are located in a protected zone accessible from the ground. The reliability of the pump unit is backed by decades of practical experience with Amazone machinery. Simplicity in setup and low operator qualification requirements make the UG one of the most popular choices on both primary and secondary markets, where durability and parts availability are highly valued.

Who is Amazone UG for?

This model is perfectly suited for farms requiring professional-level field application while maintaining the mobility of a trailed unit. It is an optimal choice for farmers transitioning from simple mounted sprayers to high-performance complexes without the need to invest in large, expensive self-propelled machinery. The versatility of settings allows the UG to be used for both intensive cereal crops and vegetable cultivation.
