The evolution of the humble harrow continues apace with Amazone expanding its Cenio range, adding a folding four-metre unit in both ‘super’ and ‘special’ form, known as the Cenio 4000-2.
The Cenio harrows are designed as lightweight three-point linkage mounted implements that may be used to work to a depth of 30cm, or stir the surface at just 5cm, depending on the type of share fitted to the tine legs.
With a tine spacing of 30cm, Amazone claim that the cultivator is able to work with large amounts of crop residue, evenly mixing the matter back into the soil without blockages beneath the frame.
Cenio available in two forms
The Cenio range comes in two types, the special and the super variants.
The special has shear bolt protection while the super relies on a spring overload mechanism with a trip force of 500kg.
The super is said to provide optimum protection for the Cenio in stony conditions, while still maintaining a constant working depth when conditions are a lot harder.
There is an extensive selection of share variants available for the range, enabling the Cenio to work across a variety of applications.
For ultra shallow cultivation there is a 320mm wide duckfoot share or a 360mm wide C-Mix wing share which can be used for full-surface cutting in stubble.
The 100mm or 80mm wide C-Mix share can be used for primary soil tillage and the 40mm wide C-Mix share is effective for deep soil loosening down to 30cm.
Tractor cab adjustment
The working depth of the Cenio 4000-2 is hydraulically adjusted from the tractor cab. The depth can be tailored to suit the field and soil conditions on the move and an easy-to-read scale is used for setting and checking the depth..
Fine-serrated, 410mm diameter concave discs are available for levelling the soil behind the tines. These are fitted with maintenance-free bearings and they are claimed to produce a good crumbling of the soil.
They are also mounted on an automatic disc levelling system which ensures the height of the levelling unit is automatically adjusted via the parallelogram linkage when the working depth of the tines is changed.
