Amazone has extended its UX trailed sprayer range with the UX 7601 Super and UX 8601 Super high-performance models, with an actual volume of 8,000- and 9,000-litres respectively.
The compact Amazone machine design means that the new models combine tank capacities of up to 9,000-litres and boom widths of up to 42m, yet keep the excellent manoeuvrability and high stability of a single-axle sprayer.
The newly developed chassis of the UX 7601 Super and UX 8601 Super directly links the axle to the standard lower hitch drawbar. The forward- sloping chassis design maintains an ideal weight distribution of the sprayer, and thus permissible drawbar and axle loads are optimally utilised.
The centre of gravity is particularly low in the new chassis concept and so ensures high stability, even on hilly terrain and when negotiating bends. The chassis also enjoys particularly good ground clearance, Amazone says.
The narrow profile of the spray agent tank, with the fresh water tanks mounted on either side of the chassis, contributes to its safe handling, especially when the tank is partially filled. Another advantage of the tank shape, which is made of polyethylene, is the extremely rounded design and the exceptionally smooth inner and outer walls, which make overall cleaning very easy, the company reckons.
Designed for high outputs, the Super-L3 boom now encompasses working widths of 39, 40 or 42m. One-sided independent folding up to the inner boom section for negotiating obstacles is also a major advantage, and ContourControl active boom guidance system and the SwingStop active vibration damping system are fitted as standard.
The new larger tank capacities come hand-in-hand with two newly- designed, high-capacity piston diaphragm pumps with an output of 250-litres/min (spray pump) and 350-litres/min (agitation pump). These highly reliable piston diaphragm pumps enable consistently high delivery capacities, regardless of the spray pressure. Consistently high agitation outputs and application rates are always available, even at high system pressures. In addition, the piston diaphragm pumps are self-priming, which means that the complete spray agent circuit is set up very simply and with short hose routing.
The spray and agitation pumps can be driven either by a PTO shaft or hydraulically. The hydraulic pump drive, which is fully integrated in the Isobus control, regulates the required pump speed fully automatically depending on the operating status.
In addition to the enormous work rates, the two new UX Super models also focus on reducing the driver’s workload. The SmartCenter settings centre and complete operator station are securely protected under the access cover to the left-hand side of the sprayer. The high-capacity 60-litre induction bowl is also located here.
The SmartCenter offers the ideal solution for every customer requirement with the high-end Comfort-Pack plus offering maximum convenience with the pressure- sensitive touch terminal for machine operation with fully automated filling and cleaning processes.
