Efficient nutrient management is becoming increasingly important in modern agriculture, especially in fast-developing markets like Vietnam. The AMAZONE Catros Pro compact disc harrow, now equipped with an integrated slurry distribution system, offers a powerful solution for farmers seeking high-efficiency soil tillage and organic fertilizer application.
As a trusted industrial partner, Melchers Vietnam introduces this advanced technology to support sustainable farming practices and improved crop productivity.
INTEGRATED SLURRY APPLICATION FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
The Catros Pro is now available ex-factory with a Vogelsang slurry distributor, forming part of the innovative pro-Pack system. This fully integrated setup ensures seamless and efficient application of organic nutrients such as slurry and fermentation residues during soil cultivation.
At the core of the system is the SynCult DosiMat DMX distributor, capable of handling application rates of up to 10,000 liters per minute while maintaining exceptional distribution accuracy. All components, including hoses and distributors, are factory-installed by AMAZONE, ensuring optimal configuration and ready-to-use performance.
One of the key advantages of the Catros Pro is its precision slurry placement technology. The slurry is applied directly behind the first row of discs, which open the soil surface. The nutrients are then deposited into the soil slit and immediately covered by the second row of discs.
This method delivers:
- Reduced ammonia emissions
- Minimal nutrient loss
- Improved nutrient absorption by crops
Such benefits are critical for meeting environmental standards and promoting sustainable agriculture in Vietnam.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TILLAGE IN ALL CONDITIONS
The Catros Pro features 510 mm coarse-serrated discs, enabling working depths from 5 to 14 cm. Its individually mounted discs allow the machine to adapt easily to uneven terrain while maintaining high throughput—even in fields with heavy organic matter.
Designed for demanding conditions, the equipment includes:
- Maintenance-free sealed disc bearings
- High-quality anti-corrosion coating
- Optional central lubrication system for reduced maintenance and increased productivity
SMART FRAME SYSTEM FOR FLEXIBLE OPERATION
The Smart Frame System enhances usability by allowing fully hydraulic depth adjustment directly from the tractor cab. This eliminates the need for manual frame adjustments and enables operators to quickly respond to changing soil conditions.
Additionally, the system automatically increases clearance when working at deeper depths, ensuring reliable operation even in wet or organic-rich soils.
VERSATILE CONFIGURATIONS FOR MODERN FARMING
The Catros Pro offers flexible configurations to meet diverse farming needs:
- Working widths: 5m, 6m, 7m (mounted) and 8m, 9m (trailed)
- Compatible with trailed and self-propelled slurry tankers
- Optional SW 600 Pro cage roller for optimal soil consolidation
- Alternative double harrow system for faster soil drying and reduced machine weight
For added efficiency, farmers can integrate the GreenDrill seeder, enabling simultaneous sowing of catch crops with hopper capacities of 200L or 500L.
