Avant mounted seed drill combination with FTender mounted front hopper

Not too much and not too little – localised reconsolidation

TRW trapezium roller 500 mm / 600 mm ∅
With its trapezium rings, the TRW trapezium roller provides reconsolidation in strips. Due to its good carrying ability, the trapezium rings on light soils are prevented from sinking in too deep.

• Good carrying capability
• Strip-wise reconsolidation
• Adequate fine soil
• As standard with hard metal coated, wear resistant scrapers

PW tooth packer roller 600 mm ∅
The PW tooth packer roller features a good self-driving effect and, with its leading teeth, reconsolidates the soil across the whole surface. The tooth packer roller is extremely versatile due to these features.

• Complete reconsolidation over the entire soil surface
• Runs blockage-free on sticky soils and where there is a lot of straw
• As standard with hard metal coated, wear resistant scrapers
• Low-mounted scrapers ensure a smooth surface even in wet soil conditions

KW wedge ring roller 580 mm ∅
The KW wedge ring roller has a wide range of applications. Due to its design, the strip-wise reconsolidation is ensured in virtually all soils and under any conditions. There is no chance of sticking, clogging or blocking up.

• Universal for all soils and conditions
• Strip-wise reconsolidation
• Even in heavy soils, sufficient loose earth is available for optimum seed coverage
• Very well suited to any weather, no matter whether wet or dry
• Smooth coulter travel due to the pre-formed seed furrow

KWM wedge ring roller with Matrix tyre profile 600 mm ∅
With its Matrix tyre profile, the KWM wedge ring roller offers a particularly good self-driving effect. As a result of its Matrix tyre profile, the roller leaves more fine soil in the seedbed.

• Strip-wise reconsolidation
• Matrix tyre profile for improved self-driving effect
• Improved crumbling even under tough conditions
• Smooth coulter travel due to the pre-formed seed furrow
• Very well suited to any weather, no matter whether wet or dry

Choose for yourself!
The most important task of a roller is reconsolidation. Due to the many possible demands (seed/soil conditions/lifting power of the tractor) a large variety of different rollers is therefore available. This means that the right roller can be selected for any seed and any soil. As the harrow-mounted seed drill is supported directly on the roller, the total weight is easily carried, thereby ensuring optimum working.

Solid roller
In general, solid rollers are better weight carriers than open rollers, especially on loose and light soils. In addition, solid rollers tend to suffer from less blockages. It is precisely for this reason that the rubber rings are fitted on a full tube on the wedge ring roller and the wedge ring roller with Matrix profile. When the rings sink into the loose soil, the tube carries the weight across the entire length. There is no chance of sticking, clogging or blocking up.

Large diameter
Larger diameter packer rollers carry the load better because the weight acts on a larger support area. Rollers having a large diameter also run considerably more smoothly and easier than rollers having a small diameter. AMAZONE rollers therefore have large diameters of 500 mm to 600 mm. These advantages are particularly noticeable at higher sowing speeds as they enable exact seed placement.

1. Air cushion shock absorber
2. Metal insert for maximum ruggedness and a perfect fit
3. Spacer ring with dirt-repellent surface

Reconsolidation in strips
By reconsolidating in strips, it is possible to create an optimum soil condition which adapts to the current weather conditions and thus ensures the conditions for rapid and uniform plant emergence This means that reconsolidation in strips is an insurance for timely cultivation. In addition, the homogeneous and well reconsolidated strip has no cleat marks. This is a decisive advantage compared to rollers with full-surface profiles, as this has an effect on the smooth running of the sowing coulters in particular.

Sowing insurance! 

1. In very dry conditions – the water pump principle: 
   The reconsolidated strips provide soil contact directly in the seed furrow. In this way, capillary water reaches the seedling even in dry weather. Reconsolidation in strips ensures that your soil works as a water pump.
2. In much wetness – principle of drainage:
   The loose soil absorbs any rain well and stores it. Rain from heavy downpours simply drains into the unrolled, loose areas. Soil erosion is thereby prevented. In this case, the soil works like a drain. Even on heavy wet ground, there is enough unconsolidated soil available between the rows to cover the seed with loose soil.
3. Gaseous exchange – the lungs principle:
   The loose soil also enables gases to be exchanged, so that the roots can breathe.
