Designated the
Profihopper 1250 SmartLine, Amazone will launch this brand new generation of
high performance mower collectors at SALTEX 2018.
The Amazone
self-propelled mower takes on a completely new design and has an updated
hydrostatic drive system. It is available in two models: the iDrive with
front-wheel drive or alternatively, as the 4WDi where the all-wheel drive
capability makes it ideal even for the most difficult of working conditions.
The compact design
provides 0-turn steering and thus offers greater manoeuvrability and safety on
any terrain and on slopes. With its 1.25 metre wide, out-front mowing unit, the
Profihopper 1250 SmartLine provides an excellent cut in both short and long grass.
In addition, it is
equipped with the SmartCut exact cut rotor with a chevron-shaped blade
arrangement for improved cutting and pick-up quality.
The robust
PowerCompactor auger conveyor system consists of both a longitudinal and a
transverse auger. With a diameter of 150 mm, the longitudinal auger has a
particularly high conveying capacity. This enables the Profihopper to have
higher conveying rates, and thus forward speeds, than comparable machines, even
in long grass. The grass is compacted immediately after being picked up by the
PowerCompactor system and is force-fed into the hopper. This compaction means
that over 1000 litres of uncompressed grass can be collected in the 730 litre
collecting hopper.
As a result, time
wasted due to hopper emptying is immediately reduced and the productivity of
the machine and thus the work rate is increased in parallel. The PowerCompactor
system requires no air assistance and is therefore quiet and largely dust-free.
Simple unloading into high-sided transport vehicles is possible by utilising
the Profihopper’s hydraulic high-tip emptying at 2.10 metres.
Also being launched
is the new PH1500 SmartLine.
The Profihopper fine
flail rotor is renowned for its year-round mowing, mulching, collecting or
scarifying abilities in both long and short grass.
However, the all-new
PH 1500 SmartLine offers all this flexibility but on a much larger scale with
its 45.6 HP Stage V ready engine, 1.5m out-front cutting deck and collecting
hopper with 2.5m tipping height with an equivalent of 1,600 litre capacity.
The machine features
armrest control of all machine functions and an advanced, revs on demand,
engine management systems with road and field modes.
