Certified, durable, and always close to hand: personal protective equipment for handling plant protection agents in a handy Safety Kit case from Amazone.

Whether it’s mixing spray agents, monitoring application results in the field, or cleaning off the spray boom – plant protection measures come with a risk to health for the operator. Skin, eyes, airways, and mucous membranes can be damaged by direct contact with active ingredients or by breathing in vapors and gases. With the new Safety Kit, Amazone offers essential protection to prevent these health risks. The safe, comfortable operation of Amazone machinery, and a high degree of safety when working with plant protection agents are of high importance to Amazone.

The personal protective equipment kit consists of protective gloves, a sleeved apron, safety glasses, and a respirator with an active filter, as well as an eye rinsing bottle and disinfectant. All items in the Safety Kit are DIN or EN certified and can be safely stored in the accompanying Safety Kit case.

The certified sleeved apron with fastening at the back is particularly useful as the durable, robust item is quick to put on and take off. When worn with long-sleeved work clothing, it protects the majority of the upper body, arms, and legs.

The Amazone Safety Kit is available in sizes M and XL for a price of 195.00 EUR plus VAT. The kit can not only be conveniently ordered with a new Amazone crop protection sprayer but can also be purchased separately from the local dealer.

High comfort was the core of the development. Starting with comfortable connecting of the machine and continues with, for example, an automatic folding of the swath board and an optional hydraulic transport locking. Further, the standard 380/55-17 Wheels secure a ground protecting operation. On top of improved steering gives you better maneuverability in the field.

With the updated feature “Terralink PLUS”, the cardanic rotor attachment benefits with a further advanced ground adaptation supported by the Jet-Effect. This PLUS on advanced ground adaptation delivers more flexibility with 8° more movement possibility, which leads to more precision and, with that, consequently a Plus for the forage quality. The Jet-Effect, comparable to the starting and landing of an aeroplane, ensures a smooth and clean raking but also avoids a ground clearance of around 500 mm that swaths on headlands are being damaged.

Andex 705 Evo is offering high flexibility due to the side delivery. With the unique rotor set up of having a smaller rotor in the back, larger areas can be raked into one row. The different diameter prevents rolling and wrapping as much as possible. This secures that the following machines can always run at maximum capacity. With the Vario, the flexibility increase as two swaths can be placed, either for small balers in high crop volume or night swaths, to increase hay quality.
