New Amazone mounted plough – Teres 200  

Amazone has expanded its mounted plough range to include the Teres 200 mounted reversible plough, suitable for medium horsepower tractors up to 200 hp. The Teres 200 comes with hydraulic furrow width adjustment as standard. The overload safety protection can be specified; either as a shear bolt on the Teres 200 V model or hydraulically on the Teres 200 VS. Both variants are available in either four or five furrows.  

 

Plough bodies meticulously thought-through – SpeedBlade for more performance 

The Teres is equipped with SpeedBlade plough bodies with a patented extra-large front shin on the mouldboard. This ensures significantly less wear on the main body, even at faster ploughing speeds. When the working speed is increased the main wear point shifts further back towards the centre of the plough body keeping the main wear point on the enlarged front shin of the mouldboard, so only the front shin of the mouldboard will need replacing, significantly reducing wear costs.  

Another carefully designed detail is that the point covers the wing, meaning the joint is protected by the point. Thanks to this clever connection, no plant residues or baler twine get entangled in the plough. In addition, the open design of the frog prevents soil sticking so that the maximum ease of pull on the plough body is maintained. The wide furrow clearance is another big plus of the SpeedBlade plough bodies, especially with the increasing use of wider tractor tyres. 

What’s more, the unique ©plus hardening process provides the basis for the highest quality of parts with carbon being introduced during the manufacture of Teres wearing metal. As a result, a very high hardness, and therefore a smooth surface, is achieved to the front of the mouldboard. This ensures a longer service life. The reverse side though remains softer and is therefore extremely tough and impact resistant. The SpeedBlade plough body range offers a selection of different slatted and solid body profiles, depending on the application and objective. HD points can be ordered as an option for particularly tough conditions.  

 

 

Simple and comfortable adjustment for a perfect working profile 

The Teres 200 is fitted with infinitely variable hydraulic working width adjustment and front furrow adjustment as standard. This means that the front furrow can be adjusted conveniently from the cab as well as being adapted to suit varying soils and when working on slopes. The driver can also easily adjust the furrow width using the tractor hydraulics. The AutoAdapt automatic front furrow adjustment offers a huge advantage in terms of comfort and precision. The front furrow is automatically adjusted when the total working width is changed. Precise match-up and perfect work results are possible under any conditions, thanks to the parallelogram and the hydraulic connection between the furrow width and front furrow cylinder. In addition, AutoAdapt also has a positive effect on fuel consumption, since the pull point and the angle between the plough and the lower link cross shaft does not change during the adjustment process. 

The depth adjustment is carried out either mechanically or hydraulically via a pendulum support wheel or combi support wheel. Various tyre sizes and profiles are available for precise depth control and a reliable self-driving effect.  

 

 

Overload safety protection for extreme applications 

The bolted overload safety protection on the Teres 200 V is executed via tried-and-tested shear bolts with a shear force of 4,400 kg. The hydraulic overload safety protection on the Teres 200 VS ensures smooth and material-protective working in challenging operating conditions. The maximum lift stroke is 40 cm, so that the bodies can also avoid large obstacles, even at deep working depths. Trip forces of up to 2000 kg can be infinitely adjusted either centrally or separately on each individual body, depending on the operating conditions. The bodies can also swing to the side. The plough body is gently pushed back into the soil via the hydraulic cylinder. As an additional safety feature, each leg has a separate shear bolt also. 

 

 

Equipment for every application  

Optional soil engaging tools allow the new mounted reversible plough to be universally adapted to all operating conditions. For example, various skimmers or trash boards are available for the clean incorporation of large amounts of organic matter. The use of landside protection improves plough guidance on slopes. A sword landside is available as an option for regions with stony and heavy soil. It protects the edges of the front shin of the mouldboard from wear and cuts a clean furrow wall. Disc coulters can be fitted to the last plough body for exceptionally clean furrow clearance. For simultaneous reconsolidation, Amazone offers the Teres 200 with a swivel press arm for working with a packer.
