As farming systems evolve, the demand for precision, efficiency and sustainability in crop establishment has never been greater. Drilling technology is at the heart of this transformation, and Amazone has long been recognised for pushing the boundaries of innovation. With the introduction of the Condor 8002-2C, 9002-2C and the Primera 6002-2C, Amazone is setting new benchmarks for large-scale seeding operations, combining high output with unrivalled accuracy.
Condor 8002-2C & 9002-2C – High Output Meets Flexibility
The Condor series has always been synonymous with large-scale efficiency, and the latest Condor 02 builds on that reputation with a host of refinements. Designed for farms where timeliness is critical, this 8 or 9-metre drill offers exceptional work rates while maintaining the precision required for modern crop establishment. In particular, the new Condor offers a similar chassis from the Precea range, massively improving compactness and manoeuvrability and keeping a large triple-chamber hooper with a capacity of 4,100 litres split 50, 30, 20.
At the heart of the Condor is the ConTeC pro tine coulter system, which has proven its worth in minimal soil disturbance and excellent residue handling. This makes it particularly suited to conservation tillage and direct seeding systems. The latest iteration introduces automatic coulter pressure control, ensuring consistent sowing depth even on undulating ground — a key factor in achieving uniform crop emergence.
Row spacing flexibility is another highlight. The Condor can operate at 25 cm as standard, but an optional 20 cm configuration is available for growers seeking quicker canopy closure to suppress weeds and improve soil cover. This adaptability makes the Condor a versatile choice for a range of cropping systems.
Amazone has also integrated EasyTram, a clever solution for tramline management. By utilising the new MultiSwitch distribution head with individual row shut-off, EasyTram simplifies the process of creating tramlines, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency. Combined with ISOBUS compatibility, the Condor offers seamless integration with modern precision farming systems.
Primera 6002-2C – Precision at Speed
If the Condor is about scale and flexibility, the Primera 6002-2C is about precision and versatility. This 6-metre universal drill is designed to handle a wide range of sowing conditions, from direct drilling into stubble to conventional seedbeds. Its robust design and advanced technology make it a go-to solution for farms looking to maximise efficiency without compromising on accuracy.
One of the standout features of the new Primera, like the Condor, is MultiSwitch individual row control. This innovation allows each coulter to be switched on or off independently, reducing overlaps from around 5% to less than 1%. The result is significant savings in seed and fertiliser, as well as improved crop uniformity — a clear win for both economics and sustainability.
The Primera also boasts a pressurised twin-chamber hopper with a 5,000-litre capacity, enabling high application rates at speeds of up to 18 km/h. This combination of speed and precision ensures that large areas can be drilled quickly without sacrificing accuracy.
Versatility is another key strength. The Primera can handle a wide range of crops, from cereals to oilseed rape and beans, thanks to its flexible row spacing and coulter options. Like the Condor, it is fully ISOBUS-compatible, with individual row section control and EasyTram for simplified tramline control, making it an ideal partner for farms embracing precision agriculture.
Cut n’ Sow with TopCut
With the innovative Cut ‘n’ Sow process, Amazone presents pioneering machine combinations of ultra-shallow soil tillage and direct drilling for the most demanding of conditions — an ideal solution, especially for tall and tough organic material. Alongside the new drills, the shallow chopping roller TopCut is now also available in a front and rear mounted variant in sizes of 5 and 6 metres.
The introduction of the Condor 02 and Primera 02 reflects Amazone’s commitment to addressing the twin challenges of productivity and sustainability. By combining high output with advanced precision features, these drills help farmers reduce input costs while improving crop performance. The economic benefits are clear: technologies like individual row shut off and automatic coulter pressure control minimise waste and optimise seed placement. At the same time, their narrow coulters provide environmental gains from reduced surface soil disturbance and better soil structure.
With two no-till machines that combine scale, precision and versatility in equal measure, whether the priority is covering large areas quickly or achieving pinpoint accuracy in challenging conditions, these drills provide the tools to meet those goals.
Also added to the collection is the Cirrus Grand cultivation disc drill in a new 8 metre working width, with up to 3 hoppers for drilling 3 different products simultaneously. Additionally available is the new option for a secondary distribution head for application of products such as Avadex or slug pellets alongside the main furrow by means of baffle plates or coulter tube.
In an era where every seed counts, Amazone’s latest innovations ensure that farmers can sow with confidence — and reap the rewards.
