Modern crop protection demands more than capacity alone. Farmers require precision, efficiency and flexibility to maximise productivity while protecting both crops and the environment. With the introduction of ContourControl boom guidance, Flex Folding II technology and the optional hydraulic pump drive, the Amazone UF 1602 and UF 2002 mounted sprayers deliver a new level of performance for modern farming operations.

The UF 02 mounted sprayer combined with the FT front tank system has already proven itself as a highly versatile alternative to larger trailed and self-propelled sprayers. Offering a total spray volume of up to 3 500 litres, the combination provides impressive output while retaining the compact manoeuvrability of a mounted machine.

An additional advantage is the relatively low overall weight of the mounted sprayer and front tank combination. In wet field conditions, the lighter footprint reduces soil compaction and can allow operators to access fields sooner when spraying opportunities are limited. This can be especially valuable during critical crop protection windows where timing directly impacts crop performance and yield potential.

The latest advancements from Amazone place the spotlight firmly on application accuracy. ContourControl, combined with Flex Folding II, is now available on UF 1602 and UF 2002 mounted sprayers with working widths from 20 m to 30 m. The system has been developed to deliver maximum precision at higher working speeds while maintaining an optimal distance between the boom and the crop surface.

The active ContourControl system continuously adjusts the boom position using pre-pressurised hydraulic cylinders and rapidly responding hydraulic valves. This enables the boom to follow uneven terrain with exceptional accuracy, maintaining a consistent height across the entire working width. Even on highly undulating ground, the system actively compensates for movement and terrain variations, ensuring accurate product placement where it matters most.

By maintaining a precise boom height, ContourControl helps reduce spray drift, improve lateral distribution and maximise application quality. Farmers can work at higher operating speeds without compromising performance, increasing daily productivity while supporting more sustainable and environmentally responsible crop protection practices.

Flex Folding II further enhances efficiency by enabling rapid folding procedures and easy adjustment to reduce working widths. Integrated break-back protection provides additional security in demanding conditions, while the system is future-ready for evolving technologies such as band and spot application.

Another significant enhancement is the optional hydraulic pump drive. Fully integrated into the load-sensing hydraulic system, the hydraulic drive allows the spray pump to operate independently of tractor engine speed. This protects the pump from excessive operating speeds while providing consistent performance under varying field conditions.

Additional benefits include easy coupling and uncoupling from the tractor, improved fuel efficiency and maintenance-free operation. The result is a more comfortable and flexible spraying experience with reduced wear on components and optimised machine performance.

With the addition of ContourControl, Flex Folding II and the hydraulic pump drive, the Amazone UF 02 and FT front tank combination delivers advanced boom guidance technology previously associated with larger self-propelled machines. Farmers can now achieve exceptional application accuracy, high work rates and greater operational flexibility in a compact, lightweight package designed for modern agriculture.
