After securing the rights to Austrian ag-machinery manufacturer Vogel & Noot's range of cultivators late last year, AMAZONE has rebranded and released the ploughs under the 'Cayros' title.
The Cayros range of mounted reversible ploughs is available in five series – M, XM, XMS, XS and XS Pro.
The M series comprises three or four furrow ploughs for tractors up to 120hp.
M series models feature a 120x100x8 mm beam, an 80mm diameter turnover shaft, stepless furrow width adjustment, a 78cm beam clearance and an interbody clearance of 95 and 102cm.
The larger XM, XMS and XS series are suitable for 140hp, 200hp and 260hp tractors, respectively, and feature stronger components and construction.
The top-of-the-range Cayros XS Pro series comprises three models with four or six furrows.
These high performance models, suitable for 380hp tractors, feature a strong 200x150x10mm beam, a 120mm diameter turnover shaft, a 90cm beam clearance and an interbody clearance of up to 105cm.
CLAAS Harvest Centre AMAZONE Product Manager, Craig Hopkins, says all Cayros ploughs can be equipped with mechanical or hydraulic furrow width adjustment; and mechanical, half-automatic or fully automatic hydraulic stone protection.
Cayros mouldboards are manufactured using a special heat treatment process.
"This hardening process results in high impact strength, prolonged longevity, less pulling power requirement and therefore reduced fuel consumption," Hopkins says.
The AMAZONE brand is distributed in Australia by the CLAAS Harvest Centre network.
