Amazone fert spreaders

[Wobblebox]

I’m looking at an Amazone ZA-TS Ultra Profis Hydro spreader, but I have absolutely no experience with Amazone spreaders. It will be replacing an aged Kuhn Axis 30.1 which I’ve been really pleased with.
It will be used through a Trimble GFX750 controller.
So, basically, are they accurate?
How well does the sectional control work?
Are they easy enough to clean down?
Anything else i should know?

@Robert K has an Amazone. He should be best placed to advise you on the cleaning question for sure!!! Perhaps even the others too.

I replaced a 40.1 with an Amazone TS.
My opinion is that the TS is a better spreader in high spec form. The accuracy and section control are exceptional, but i didn't have SC on the Kuhn.
As a basic spreader the Kuhn is probably better.
I have no experience of using the Trimble screen with a spreader.
I will probably replace my TS with another if that is any recommendation.
They both take the same time to wash down, and both have nooks and crannies!
The guy I use for tray testing thinks the TS is about as good as you get, but other experienced testers probably have different opinions!

Got a zam hydro profi, very accurate but like most spreaders bit of a pain to get clean, easy to set tho

Ours is a ZAM 3000, so getting on a little but still a good piece of kit.We would consider another Amazone or maybe a Bogballe?

Really like the app with the Amazone

bought this used last year, not used for N however which is all liquid - was great value and very easy to use / idiots proof really, the app is very good and its full ISO, calibrated itself , section control etc all integrates well

gets a proper 36m on everything we have put through it so far (calcifert mostly)

I bought a new ZAV 2600 this year to replace a ZAM3000. I didn't need that capacity ( bought second hand on here) iso, weigh cells, etc. Really pleased, good value for money, a few ks less than a kv I think, apps good, no swapping vanes like the krm. Would be better if it weighed each side separately, not sure if any do that though. I actually found it better to wash out than the previous machine.
