2026 Amazone 1400

ZA-TS mounted spreader

High outputs with precise results
Highly efficient on a large scale – and yet precise right up to the field boundary. This is the only way to achieve professional fertilisation with high work rates whilst avoiding over-fertilisation and thereby protecting the environment at the same time. The ZA-TS and ZG-TS from AMAZONE meet these current fertilisation challenges with ease thanks to the innovative TS spreading system. Fertiliser is applied reliably, even in windy conditions, or when the fertiliser quality is poor. Up to 54 m working width, with hopper capacities of up to 10,000 litres, precise right up to the border. Pure precision from one spreading unit. 
This is how the best in fertilisation works.

Characteristics of the TS spreading system

Delivery system adjustment of the TS spreading system 

• Intelligent agitator for maximum fertiliser protection 
• Electric setting motor for rotating the delivery system
• Delivery system for implementing the Section Control, HeadlandControl, WindControl, ArgusTwin functions
• Electric setting motor for precise fertiliser metering with application rates from 3 kg/min to 650 kg/min

Bottom assembly of the TS spreading system

• Electric setting motor for adjusting the carrier vane
• AutoTS gearbox, the heart of the integrated border spreading system
• Comfortable changeover between border and normal spreading by moving the carrier vane
• Short spreading vane for side, border and water course spreading
• Long normal spreading vane for high throwing widths and double overlap, even at a working width of 36 m

TS spreading disc

• TS spreading disc made of stainless steel, with easily exchangeable spreading vane sets TS 10, TS 20 and TS 30 for working widths from 15 to 54 m

Ultra-quick and precise! Electric actuators for the delivery system
The TS spreaders open up new dimensions in terms of maximum application rates, forward speeds and precision. To achieve this, they are equipped with an excellent delivery system with quick-reacting, precision actuators. Particularly in applications such as the automatic switch-on and switch-off at the headland or in wedge-shaped fields, spreading with application maps or via continuous on-board monitoring (ArgusTwin and WindControl), the delivery system guarantees the job is done at the highest level.

Concentric delivery point adjustment
The concentric rotation of the delivery system around the centre of the disc allows precise adjustment to various working widths and fertiliser types while protecting the fertiliser from shatter by placing it close to the centre of the spreading disc.

Quantity effect-free metering aperture
Due to the kidney-shaped design of the metering aperture, the spread pattern remains unchanged and precise, even at varying forward speeds and rates. This means that the position of the delivery system does not require constant adjustment.

Optimised spread pattern

Multiple spread fans: Optimum lateral distribution under any conditions
The specific profile and angle of the spreading vanes results in multiple spread fans in the TS spreading system. The optimised trajectory and the large overlap of the fertiliser make the spreader insensitive to changes in inclination and height.

• Easy adjustment, simply level up and drive off 
• The same setting for normal fertilisation and late top dressing 
• Any changes in inclination due to varying hopper fill levels do not affect the distribution

Three-dimensional spread pattern

The spreading unit has been developed using three-dimensional spread patterns so that a perfect lateral distribution of up to 54 m working widths is achieved. The large overlap zones ensure a perfect spread pattern and are significantly more consistent with regard to any the external influences such as a side wind, change in topography, humidity and changing fertiliser qualities.

Border spreading systems

AutoTS – The disc-integrated border spreading system

AutoTS – Comfortable adjustment and precise lateral distribution right up to the field boundary
The disc-integrated AutoTS border spreading system, enables the comfortable activation of the different border spreading techniques – side, border or watercourse spreading – via the terminal in the tractor cab irrespective of the side.

The ingenious operating principle of AutoTS
A setting motor twists the carrier vane forwards by approximately 10 °, so that the fertiliser is delivered via the shorter border spreading vanes when border or watercourse spreading. Due to the combination of disc speed and a shorter vane, the fertiliser is thrown over a significant shorter distance without affecting it mechanically.

Effective and precise – spread only where the fertiliser will benefit plants

Side spreading (yield-oriented setting)
The adjacent field is an area which is used agriculturally. In this case it is tolerable for a small quantity of fertiliser to be thrown over the field boundary. The full target rate is applied right up to the field boundary.

Border spreading (environmentally oriented setting)
If the field is next to a road or a cycle path, no fertiliser may be thrown beyond the field boundary. In this case, the throwing distance is adjusted in combination with the shutter slide.

Water course spreading (environmentally oriented setting)
If there is a body of water directly at the edge of the field, a defined distance to the water must be maintained when fertilising according to the fertiliser regulations. For this purpose, the throwing distance is further reduced in combination with the shutter slide.

Higher yields in the boundary zone with AutoTS and ClickTS

The AutoTS border spreading system makes it possible for the operator to reliably generate a very steep cut-off to the border spread pattern and thus create the perfect growing conditions right up against the field edge. Compared to other border spreading systems, a significant increase in yield is possible.

Automatic rate reduction when border spreading is possible with the AutoTS spreading system. Rate changes are possible in freely selectable percentage steps. As the two spreading discs can be operated independently from one another, the change can be applied to just one, or both sides.

Weighing system | Automatic rate control

Profis weighing technology – Who weighs wins!

No calibration. Top up the spreader hopper up and off we go! There is nothing simpler.

The weighing system offers controlled convenience and more reliability. It enables on-line determination of the different spreading material properties with two 200 Hz load cells – providing a high level of measuring accuracy. It automatically compares the actually applied rate with the pre-determined rate. Deviations in the flow characteristics, for example when spreading blended mineral fertilisers, are detected and the spreader is re-adjusted automatically via the electric metering shutter slides. In addition, the applied rate is accurately documented for field-related nutrient application. In addition, the application rate can be altered at any time by pressing a button on the ISOBUS terminal.

Filling aid in combination with the Profis weighing system

Initial flashing followed by the constant lighting up of the work lights signals that the fill level has been reached. 

The convenient low level sensors warn the driver of the upcoming emptying of each individual hopper tip.

Tilt sensor for working on steep, sloping terrain

On the Profis system, any possible effects of gravity on the measuring of the hopper contents are taken into account during work with the help of a tilt sensor: A twin-axis tilt sensor that assesses the front and back tilt as well as to the left and right, corrects measurement errors that may arise when going up and down hills or when driving across a hillside.

The advantages
Regulating/calibrating under all operating conditions: 

• Side, border and water course spreading 
• Part-width section control 
• Using application maps/N-sensors 
• Spreading of blended fertilisers

Accurate weight measurement: 

• display of residual volume 
• Residual area and residual hopper level display 
• Documentation of the total volume spread

For the ZA-TS Profis with tilt sensor, the angle of the spreader is conveniently displayed on the ISOBUS terminal via spirit level symbols for simplifying the horizontal alignment of the ZA-TS.

ZA-TS – Fertiliser hopper in 1,400 to 5,000 litres

Advantages of the ZA-TS:

• Maximum precision during normal spreading and border spreading, regardless of external influences such as wind, hilly terrain or varying fertiliser properties 
• Quick exchange of spreading vanes for flexible working widths 
• User-friendly operation thanks to comprehensive software solutions for the spreader over and above the ISOBUS standard 
• Precise fertilisation with high efficiency

Optimum hopper profile - ZA-TS fertiliser hopper

The deep-drawn hopper 
The base hopper has a capacity of 700 l. It is deep-drawn, meaning that it does not have any corners, edges or welded seams. This provides a continual and even flow of the fertiliser. Also the cleaning of the spreader is made easy thanks to this design. The available hopper extensions allow for total volumes of up to 5,000 litres.

The benefits of the design 

• No edges and weld seams, one-piece hopper 
• Optimum fertiliser flow, consistent passage 
• No residues 
• Open frame structure facilitates easy cleaning 
• Electronic components protected in the box section frame
