Easy attachment

The AMICO F hopper easily attached to the front hitch of the tractor. Three top link and three lower linkage positions are available. Otherwise, only the seed hose, ISOBUS connector and hydraulic line need to be connected.

When attaching the hopper, make sure that it is angled slightly forward in the working position. This can be set by adjusting the top link on the tractor hitch. This has a positive effect on the flow characteristics of the material inside the hopper.

As a result, the capacity of the hopper is fully utilized because the fertiliser or seed can be metered reliably right down to the last grain.

Straightforward coupling process on the front hitch

 

Convenient operation

The AMICO F hopper is equipped with ISOBUS as standard to ensure convenient operation. This means that the front hopper can be controlled using our EXPERT 75 and CCI 1200 terminals, or using any ISOBUS compatible tractor terminal. This level of intuitive operation makes your work much easier.

Because the hopper can be controlled independently using ISOBUS, it can be easily teamed up with attachments from other manufacturers.

Convenient filling and emptying

A loading platform makes it easier to access the hopper, and, as an option, additional steps can be folded out on either side of the larger capacity AMICO F hopper. This makes filling easier.

A large pressure-tight fitting is provided for emptying residual material.

Calibration made simple

The metering units are easily accessible from the front, so the metering wheels can be changed quickly, and there is a shut-off plate to make it even easier when the hopper is full.

The calibration button mounted on the hopper frame allows the calibration test to be carried out conveniently from the ground.

Space-saving storage

Three parking stands are provided for parking, either with or without packer. This gives the hopper a steady base so it can be stored in any corner of the machine shed to save space.

The optional packer has two additional parking stands and can be uncoupled from the front hopper and parked separately if required.

Safe on the road and in the field

Pivot mounting

The seed transport hose is clamped to the hose holder on a pivot mounting. This allows the hose to move freely so that it does not collide with the tractor at any point. Maximum flexibility is therefore ensured when turning at the headland.

Enhanced safety on the road

With a compact width of just 2.47 metres, the front hopper is narrower than tractors in the 200 horse power range and above. This makes it easy to manoeuvre the set-up without having to concentrate especially on the width of the front hopper.

Because the tractor's front indicators are partly concealed, additional indicators are provided on the front of the hopper to enhance safety on the road.

Optimum visibility even at night thanks to LED lighting

 

Clear visibility even at night

Optional additional LED lighting on the hopper makes it easier to work in the dark. The area in front of the hopper is perfectly illuminated by floodlights integrated into the frame, giving you a better view.

Optional camera system

When used with the front hopper, a protrusion length of 3.5 metres from the steering wheel to the front edge of the machine is exceeded. PÖTTINGER recommends a camera system up front for entering and exiting fields and intersections. Please contact the PÖTTINGER sales team or your dealer.
