Manoeuvrable and comfortable – Perfect driving behaviour on the road and in the field

Greater comfort – gentle on the crop

  • True track-following at track widths of 1.80 to 2.25 m
  • Increased driving comfort due to sprung-suspended and height adjustable drawbar system
  • Stable and robust chassis technology, designed for speeds of up to 60 km/h
  • Automatic braking force regulation
  • Oversized tyres reduce the ground pressure and allows operation even under the most arduous of conditions
  • Wheel diameters of up to 2.05 m possible


“New for the fertiliser spreaders is the axle steering [...] making the machines manoeuvrable and ensures a true track-following“

True-track axle steering

The ZG-TS trailed spreader, equipped with the optional steering axle, provides a maximum steering angle of up to 28°. This means true track-following is still possible even with a track width of 71 in (1,800 mm) and a tire width of 20 in (520 mm). Automatic steering even facilitates count-er-steering on slopes. As soon as the spreading disc drive has been deactivated and a speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded, steering automatically stops to ensure safe road transport at speeds of up to 37 mph (60 km/h).

Benefits of axle steering

  • Steering angle up to 28°
  • Minimum turning radius of 14.5 ft (4.5 m)  
  • True track-following – for gentle crop treatment  
  • Counter-steering on sloping terrain

Automatic braking force control

In order to be safe on the road, even at high speeds and different load capacities, the ZG-TS offers optional auto-matic load-dependent braking force control. The electronic braking system (EBS) receives the signal to calculate the load-dependent braking force from the new Profis online weighing system. Since the weighing system continuously measures the quantity in the hopper, the delivered braking force adapts automatically. This makes braking sensitiv-ity perfect for all load ranges. The ZG-TS also meets the requirements of EU braking regulation 167/2013.


Advantages of the electronically-controlled braking system

  • Load-dependent braking
  • Comfortable and safe road travel
  • Maximum safety on the headlands and on slopes
