UF
The UF is, in a few simple steps, quickly and safely
attached to the tractor with the suffi cient space bet-
ween the tractor and sprayer making the attachment
easy.
With the parking wheels, the sprayer can be moved
easily. The quick coupler system and the Tele-Space
PTO shaft – available on request - ensure an even
faster and simpler attachment to the tractor. All cables
and hoses are arranged in a clear, functional manner
to avoid any mix ups.
Mounting and fi llingGet setup and start spraying quickly!
The 120 litre (901/1201) or 180 litre
(1501/1801) fresh water container is
situated under the main spray tank.
Simple, ground-level fi lling is made
possible by good positioning on the
right-hand side as viewed in the direc-
tion of travel. If desired, the fresh water
tank can also be fi lled via the fi ll port on
the left-hand side.

Everything is functional when in orange and greenFast and safe fi lling
Filling via the suction
hoseThe sprayer can be fi lled using the
suction hose via the 2“ suction port.
The liquid fl ow is routed in such a
way that during the fi lling procedure
there is always clean water available
at the induction bowl.
Option
Fill portFor fi lling from a pressurised hose,
a fi ll port with either a Geka or
Camlock coupling is available as
an option. Using this connection,
the fresh water can be simulta-
neously fi lled from the left hand
side.
Fill level indicator
The fi ll level indicator is readable
both externally via a mechanical
pointer and in the cab electronically
via either the AMATRON+ or the
AMASPRAY+ on-board computers.
The piston diaphragm pumps run
perfectly happily when dry and are
liquid fertiliser safe. The design of
the pumps simultaneously ensures
an even, high delivery capacity with
a high fi lling power and quiet opera-
tion even under high pressure.
Pumps with either 160, 210 and 250
l/min output capacity are available.
For a constant, functional supervi-
sion of the pump from the tractor
seat, the oil reservoir for the pump
is placed up on the headstock in
full view of the operator.
A 2“ discharge port for quick empty-
ing under pressure, for example,
transferring to a front tank, can also
be supplied (option).

Canister fl ushing
For unproblematic cleaning of the
spray agent canisters and for full
utilisation of the contents, the
canisters are fl ushed using the
rotary nozzle. With this nozzle,
the induction bowl can be cleaned
even when the lid is closed.
A dead man‘s control keeps the
user safe.
Pressure fi lter
The self-cleaning pressure fi lter
is standard equipment. The agitator
tap also enables the specifi c drai-
ning of the pressure fi lter. In this
way the fi lter can be checked
without any spray agent escaping
– especially useful when the tank is
full.
All functions are controlled with only three levers:

AMACLICK
In order to shut off individual part-width sections in
certain applications such as bed systems when crop-
ping vegetables, the corresponding part-width sections
can be pre-selected and permanently switched off via
the AMATRON+.
If this function is required regularly, the use of
AMACLICK is recommended.
Standard functions:
- Overall and part-width section on/off
- Up to 9 part-width sections
- Digital pressure indication
- Digital fi ll level indication
- Display of boom position and lock status
- Field record management system with 20 memories
- Serial interface for documentation and GPS terminal versatility
- ISOBUS compatible
The universal AMATRON+ operator terminal is able to
control many machines from the AMAZONE product
range. On the ZA-M fertiliser spreader, in conjunction
with the Comfort electronic pack, the Limiter border
spreading device and the on/off shutter slides can be
electro-hydraulically controlled. Forward speed related
or site specifi c spread rate control is also possible.

Safe, simple documentation transfer
ASD, automatic fi eld related documentation, is a product and manu-
facturer overlapping documentation concept for the transfer of specifi c
application data between the AMATRON+ and AMASPRAY+ on-board
computers and electronic fi eld record software. The serial interface used
is in the public domain and as such, is accessible to other manufacturers.
ASD provides the farmer with the possibility of simply and economically
integrating all machines into the documentation chain.
Future proof technology
The serial interface (RS232) that enables use to be made of sensor technology
(e.g. Yara N-Sensor) or different GPS terminals is integrated, as standard, into
the comprehensive equipment level provided by AMATRON+ and AMASPRAY+.
Special functions:
- Foam marker
- End or boundary nozzle on/off control
- Pre-select fold for independent boom folding
- Profi -fold for independent boom folding or boom tip angling

- Distance Control – automatic boom guidance
- Comfort pack – remote controlled fi lling and cleaning
Exact dosage and simple operation
AMATRON+
Control
The AMATRON+ on-board computer enables the fully
automatic control of the prescribed spray rate (l/ha).
Rate changes are possible in pre-selected %steps.
This modern on-board computer, thanks to its clear,
simple and logical operation, is especially user-friendly
and with its extra-large, low-refl ection display it moni-
tors the complete system. The very compact dimen-
sions of the computer mean little space is required in
the tractor cab.
By using two fl ow meters, the application rate is
extremely precisely maintained, especially at low
spray rates.
Multi-function
joystick
Using the multi-function
joystick makes operation
of the machine even more
comfortable. Without visual
contact, the most important
spraying functions can be con-
trolled via the ergonomically shaped
joystick. The AMATRON+ is then
used only as a monitoring and input
device. A small toggle switch allows
use of only 8 buttons to three different
levels.
When used in conjunction with AMAZONE seed drills,
the AMATRON+ is responsible for electronic tramline
control and additionally, changing the seed rates in
pre-selected steps. When using the trailed Cirrus seed
drills the comprehensive electro-hydraulic functions,
such as seed depth or intensity of the seedbed culti-
vation are also controlled via the AMATRON+.

Manually operated valve chest
The manually operated valve chest allows spraying
without any electrical power supply. The main switch,
the manual pressure adjustment and the switching on
and off of either three or fi ve boom part-width sections
are arranged in a clever, ergonomic manner.
Due to the equal pressure system the spray rate per
hectare remains constant when switching on and off
the part-width sections.
Control
AMASPRAY+ – modern and precise
The AMAZONE AMASPRAY+ on board computer is a
robust and self-explanatory spray computer enabling the
user to concentrate on driving, whilst the computer car-
ries out the control and forward speed related regulation.
Top spraying technology
For the AMATRON+ and AMASPRAY+ spray rate
computers the most modern control chest techno-
logy is available. The part-width boom sections are
switched, on and off, quickly and drip-free via elec-
tric motor valves with pressure relief.
In all situations the spray rate is exactly and quickly
controlled directly via the computer and so negating
the need for any mechanical equal pressure control.
AMASET+ – simple and safe
The AMASET+ control box is a comfortable solution for
user-friendly and environmentally friendly crop protec-
tion application. All important spraying functions being
controlled remotely from the tractor cab. Within the same
tractor gear the spray rate (l/ha) remains constant.

Equal pressure valve chest
The equal pressure valve chest for the AMASET+
control box is positioned in the centre of the boom.
Ultramodern motor valves allow the fast, drip-less on/
off control. Matching the equal pressure valve chest to
the nozzle size is quickly and easily carried out via the
colour coordinated dials.

And thus deposits, blockages or any settling inside the spray lines is safely prevented. The concentration of the spray agent always remains constant right up to the nozzles, so starting the spraying operation, for example after a change of ingredients, is carried out without problems. During the cleaning operation clear fresh water fl ushes through the spray lines down to the nozzles without the necessity to spray. During this cleaning procedure the concentrated spray liquid is returned back to tank via the pressure re-circulation system leaving the spray lines clean.
UF liquid circuit The pressure circulation system (DUS)Ingeniously simple –
this is how DUS works
External cleaning
With the spray lance of the exterior wash down kit the
outside of the crop protection sprayer can be tho-
roughly cleaned after use whilst still in the fi eld. The
20 m hose reel supplies a working pressure of 10 bar
to enable effective cleaning with little water consump-
tion.
Internal cleaning
The standard internal tank cleaning system with rotary
nozzle ensures quick and effective washing out.
Smooth tank walls without nooks and crannies allow
safe function and simple monitoring.
The new option with three functions for all UF models
with AMATRON+
· Automatic fi ll stop for controlling, on and off, the
suction tap at the desired fi ll level.
· Automatic agitator shut off at a fi ll level of less than
5% (the nominal volume) results in small residual
volumes.
· Cleaning the spray line, tank and agitator is possible
via the AMATRON+.
No need for the operator to leave the tractor cab.
The liquid circuit of the UF series has been optimised
for operator friendliness and lowest residual sprayer
volumes.
DUS
The fl ow of spray agent is routed from the pressure regulator to the pressure relief valve and fl ows on at low pressure to the throttle valve. The spray agent then fl ows in the reverse direction back to the tank.

Before commencing work, all the hoses including the spray lines are fl ooded under pressure with spray agent in the reverse direction. Thus the spray lines are always fi lled over the entire working width and thus instantly ready for use. No waiting at the headlands for the spray agent to reach the boom ends.Every time an Individual part-width section is switched off, during each turn and during transport, the spray liquid circulates continually. This is done via the AMAZONE pressure controller, which guarantees a reliable circulation.

Compactness matters!
Due to the low centre of gravity and the light and ro-
bust design of the machine it is easy to carry and the
tractor front axle weight reduction is much less than
with many competitors.
Drive safely!
The visibility in road transport is exemplary. Wherever
the tractor can pass through, the boom also can go
through with no protruding parts, no boom damage
that is all down to the minimal transport dimensions.
Long service life
Use of stainless steel, the catalytic painting process,
with its automobile industry protection standards, as
well as the targeted use of plastics and aluminium is
the guarantee for high longevity.
Exclusively from AMAZONE: All hydraulic connectors
are always made from stainless steel!
3-fold shock absorbed suspension for
most arduous operational conditions
In hilly terrain and with large working widths hydraulic
tilt adjustment makes sense. The quick and precise
tilting and return of the boom into the neutral position
is possible via a tractor control valve or the electro-
hydraulic function via AMATRON+.

The most important quality features
Booms
Both Q-plus and the Super-S series AMAZONE booms
are BBA recognised and comply to the highest
European demands on crop protection implements –
compare that with the others!
Everything shipshape!
The boom locates safely in the transport hooks. No
rattling and banging whilst on the road and no boom
rests susceptible to wear fi tted to the tractor. Fast
travel A to B is no problem.
Clean working!
No spray agent from the booms drips on to the tractor
or on the operator station and the booms also do not
hit the tractor cab.
Maintenance-free
The decades of experience in boom design pay off:
The conical hinge pin is the intelligent centre of a well
thought-out boom philosophy! The boom pivots self-
adjust against any play on the conical hinge pins and
that ensures for the user an optimised boom function
even after many years.
AMAZONE booms are designed to be simultaneously
superbly strong yet superbly light. The nozzle bodies
with integrated diaphragm non-return anti-drip valves
fi t up into the boom profi les reliably preventing any
dripping at the nozzle. Self-adjusting bayonet caps
ensure a quick, tool-less nozzle change. For any ope-
rational use and any application rate the right nozzles
are available, for example, for the optimum wetting,
anti-drift or for liquid fertiliser use.
As standard all AMAZONE booms are equipped with
1. springs and shock absorber pack for damping the
vertical roll movements,
2. rubber buffer damping elements with ball suspen-
sion to damp down the horizontal yaw movements
3. tension springs for the shock absorbed suspension
of the entire boom.
As standard also is hydraulic height adjustment and
guide skids that results in the perfect boom guidance
and thus, the accurate longitudinal and lateral distri-
bution of the spray agent.

The hydraulic folding is done via oversized hydraulic
rams. Included as standard: Hydraulic height adjust-
ment, 3-fold shock absorbing suspension system and
the one sided, independent folding on the left hand
side as viewed in direction of travel. 80 mm wide pro-
fi les provide excellent rigidity.
The Q-plus boom can immediately be folded out
at half height. Folding in is possible at any desired
height. Two control valves are required:
- One single acting control valve for height
adjustment
- One double acting valve for folding in/out
- One double acting control valve for hydraulic
tilt adjustment (option)
As an option the Q-plus boom can be equipped with
pre-select folding for the independent folding left or
right hand side. The pre-selection of these hydraulic
functions is carried out electrically via AMASET+,
AMASPRAY+ or AMATRON+.
From the boom being folded fully out – after pre-se-
lection – only this one side is then folded in again.

standard tractor. The multiple-folded steel profi les of
up to 140 mm wide make the Super-S boom extremely
robust. The 3-fold shock absorbing boom suspension
system, the hydraulic height adjustment and the
elastic height skids ensure the perfect guidance of the
Super-S boom with the right distance above the target

Super-S boom
Carin Handriek regarding the Super-S boom: (Agricultural Centre of Hörsteltal, registered association, 99880 Mechterstädt)
„We are pleased with the output of our record-beating sprayer. Even after 110,000 hectares the joints and the entire boom technology are not suffering in any way from fatigue.“ Profi -fold
Profi -fold is the electro-hydraulic actuation of the boom via an oil circuit from which the functions of height ad-justment, folding out and in, independent fold, boom width reduction and tilt adjustment (Profi -fold I) are easily actuated via AMATRON+ or the joystick. Additional boom tip angling is possible via Profi -fold II.

The sprayer specialist advises......less drift, even at higher wind speeds
End and boundary nozzles
Liquid fertilising –
Safe and user friendly
For the coarse droplets distribution of liquid fertiliser
AMAZONE offers multi-hole nozzles (3, 5, or 7 hole) or
the FD slit nozzles.
Nozzles
With the air assisted Injector nozzles crop protection agents
can be applied with very low drift. They are universally usable
in all crops and all situations. Because of the coarse droplet
size, these nozzles can also be used at greater wind speeds.
AMAZONE offers for agricultural applications a wide range of
nozzles from Lechler, Agrotop and Teejet.
Nozzle protection tubes, standard on the outer sections or on
request over the entire boom width, protect the long injector
nozzles and multi-nozzle bodies .
Single and multi-nozzle bodies
The nozzle bodies, safely located in the boom profi le fra-
mes, have integrated diaphragm non return valves to prevent
dripping of the nozzles. Self-adjusting bayonet fi xings ensure
a tool-less quick nozzle change. The triple or quad nozzle bo-
dies are better suited for frequent nozzle changes or varying
applications and crops.
End nozzles
End nozzle control switches off, independent from the normal boom part-width section valves, two or three nozzles to enable an un-sprayed buffer zone to be left at the boom end. AMASPRAY+ and AMATRON+ spray computers automatically keep the application rate (l/ha)
constant.
In conjunction with the Super-S
boom a separate drag hose
unit is available. The self-con-
tained aluminium profi les can
be attached with a few hand
clamps.
Drag hoses offer a risk-free late
top dressing with liquid fertili-
ser and stainless steel weights
help keep the position of the drag hoses within the crop.
Boundary nozzles
The boundary nozzle control provides the accurate adherence to the fi eld‘s border. When actuating the boundary nozzle control the last normal nozzle is switched over to a special boundary nozzle which, via an asymmetrical spray angle nozzle, facilitates a con-ventional spray pattern in the fi eld but limits the outer spray pattern to within the normal working width thus preventing potential over-spray outside the confi nes of the fi eld.

The special advantages offered of more manoeuvrable
tractors with a mounted implement compared with
trailed sprayers in smaller and more awkward shaped
fi elds as well as the better behaviour on slopes are
the major arguments for the front tank solution.
However, even in the 3, 000 litre self-propelled class a
comfortable tractor in combination with a high-class
mounted sprayer and front tank is an interesting alter-
native.

80 - 160 HP as a husbandry tractor with UF
901/1201 and FT 1001
1,900l / 2,200l total tank volume
150 - 400 ha arable farm or contractor:
140 - 220 HP as main tractor
with UF 1501/1801 and FT 1001
2,500l / 2,800l total tank volume
Vegetable growers:
High manoeuvrability and maximum volume
transport
The front tank acts both as an extension of the tank volume and also as a front weight.
Advantages as against self-propelled
Huge advantage on price

UF
The specifi c feature of the FT 1001 is the 100% inte-
gration of the front tank into the mounted sprayer via
the Flow-Control electronic fi ll level management
system in the proven AMATRON+. The technolo-
gical basis of Flow-Control is the two electronic fi ll
level indicators in the tanks and the two high capacity
injectors. The transfer capacity in both directions is
up to 200 l/min ensuring the liquid is always ideally
homogenised.
AMATRON+ automatically controls the liquid circuit,
ensuring always, an optimised weight distribution.
Premature relief of the weight on the front axle is pre-
vented and, depending on the fi ll level, new liquid is
delivered from the front tank early enough so that the
mounted sprayer is never emptied prior to the front
tank and the liquid always remains homogeneous.
Manual control also allows the transport of just fresh
water in the front tank.
No matter whether in the yard or in the barn: there is
always a safe parking place for the compact combina-
tion on its parking rollers. This simple handling convin-
ces even after just a few operations.
The internal cleaning of the sprayer combination is
carried out via the fresh water tank of the UF. The 100l
additional clean water tank allows for the appropriate
cleaning according to the European guide lines (clean
water supply at least 10 % of the tank volume)
The compact sprayer-tractor unit is favourable espe-
cially in narrow lanes with hardly any obstruction to the
view thanks to the well thought out design.
The AMAZONE FT 1001 fulfi ls all relevant EC guide
lines and standards for traffi c safety.
The optional traffi c light kit is necessary in cases where
the traffi c lights of the tractor is hidden. The covered
low beams of the tractor must be repeated on the trac-
tor roof. The fi tting on the front tank is not allowed.
