GPS link via Isobus protocol on Ceres 450All new Ceres 450 planters can be built optionally with the new ISOBUS link. With this option AVR wants to further support precision agriculture. The system is, AVR wise, easy to operate and maintenance-friendly (very wear-resistant). When using the on/off button per row, the function works immediately without any time loss, which is indispensable when linked to GPS. headlands, along spray paths or the rows left and right of the spray path. With one hydraulic motor per row, the user can quickly turn a row on or off or set the planting speed differently per row in order to plant variably on e.g. Speed sensors in the wheel and in the four planting elements ensure a correct measurement and feedback on speed and planting distance per row. Each planting element is driven separately by its own hydraulic motor. New as well is the option of row-independent planting on its trailed four-row Ceres 450.

The range of the roller has been adapted to higher capacities.

Depth control by means of skis can be supplemented with depth-adjustable wheels (mechanically adjustable in depth).

The AVR onion unit has also received a few minor updates: This roller helps the onions into the machine and closes off the digging unit at the same time when lifting. This is an onion unit with foam-rubber roller (available in sizes 900mm and 1200mm depending on swath width).

In its place a digging unit frame with onion unit can be mounted, for instance. The included support legs/wheels make it easy to retract or correctly position the digging units (on a hardened substrate).

To do so, all the user has to do is detach a few mechanical couplings and clamps. The entire digging unit frame and the digging unit can be removed in no time. The existing digging unit was adapted in such a way that it can be easily dismounted, without having to open the digging web or remove the shear holder separately. As of 2020, this option will be available on all 2-row trailed AVR harvesters. At the upcoming Potato Europe in Kain, Belgium, agricultural machinery manufacturer AVR is presenting its new quick-change digging unit.
