Need help?Do you have a question about the Amazone Cenius 3001 special and is the answer not in the manual?
The Amazone Cenius 3001 is a mounted disc cultivator designed for various soil tillage operations, including stubble tillage, non-inverting primary cultivation, and seedbed preparation. It is available in "special" and "super" versions, catering to different power requirements and soil conditions. The "special" version is suitable for tractors up to 160 HP, while the "super" version is designed for more difficult conditions, stony soil, and high tractor capacities.
The Cenius 3001 features a robust frame with three rows of spring steel tines, ensuring effective cultivation across the entire working width. The tines are arranged in a three-staggered configuration, allowing for optimal soil mixing and residue incorporation. The machine is equipped with two rows of concave discs that provide leveling and crumbling of the soil. These discs are rubber-sprung to offer overload protection and automatically return to their operational position after clearing an obstacle. The working depth of the discs is controlled by the roller independent of the main frame.
For further soil consolidation and leveling, the Cenius 3001 can be fitted with either a wedge ring roller or an open cage roller. The wedge ring roller, with adjustable scrapers, provides reconsolidation in strips and levels the soil surface. The open cage roller is an alternative for less soil re-consolidation. A following harrow, available as an option, further aids in crumbling and leveling the soil.
The machine is designed for 3-point linkage onto a tractor. It is crucial to ensure that the tractor has sufficient power and that the necessary electric, hydraulic, and brake connections are provided. Proper ballasting of the tractor is essential for safe and efficient operation, especially when lifting and lowering the implement.
The Cenius 3001 comes in two main versions: "special" and "super," with some variations in technical specifications.

The required tractor engine power for the Cenius 3001 is from 90 kW (120 PS). The electrical system requires a 12 V (Volt) battery and 7-polig sockets for lights. The tractor operator seat related emission value is 74 dB (A), measured when operating with shut tractor cab at the ear of the tractor operator. The noise level depends on the type of tractor used.
The Cenius 3001 offers flexibility in its usage with different tine and share options. Square steel tines are available for both "special" and "super" equipment. Round steel tines are specifically for the "super" version. Various share types are available, including inversion shares (75 mm) for medium topsoil operation, stubble shares for shallow working depth, and narrow shares (50 mm) for deep loosening. Slip-on-share exchangeable share tips are also available.
The concave discs can be adjusted for depth, and extractable side discs are provided to create an even field without any lateral ridges. These side discs can be repositioned in different holes for better management of the "boil" and can be inserted into the front disc row for road transport. Adjustable side discs allow for setting their length and twisting the cutting angle.
When operating across slopes, the maximum angle of the machine in the direction of travel to the left and right is 20%. The maximum angle for uphill and downhill operation is also 20%.
For transport, the machine can be converted into an operating position by pulling out the side discs and affixing them with securing pins. Driving at the headlands involves lowering the implement only after the headlands are reached.
Regular maintenance and care are crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the Cenius 3001. This includes checking traffic lights for proper function and replacing worn shares. Shares are subject to permanent wear during operation and should be replaced with original Amazone shares. The shares are fixed with two bolts on the tine, and clip-on-share tine tips are replaceable.
Lubrication is an important aspect of maintenance. Only lithium saponified multipurpose grease with EP additives should be used, and grease should be applied to all greasing nipples until clean grease appears. The greasing points are indicated on the machine, and the frequency of greasing is specified in operating hours. For example, the flange bearing for the roller requires greasing every 50 hours.
When dismounting spring-loaded elements like disc segments, it is important to be aware of the pre-tensioning and use appropriate tools. Longer bolts can be used as auxiliary tools for mounting and dismounting.
Cleaning the machine is also essential. This involves monitoring brake, air, and hydraulic hoses, and never treating them with petrol, benzole, paraffin, or mineral oils. After cleaning, grease the machine, especially after using a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet. Legal prescriptions for handling and disposal of cleaning agents should be observed. When cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet, specific points should be implicitly observed, such as not cleaning any electric parts, not cleaning chromium-plated parts, and never pointing the cleaning jet directly at grease or bearing points. A minimum distance between the cleaning jet and the machine should always be ensured.
