2026 Amazone TopCut 12000-2T

The perfect all-rounder for ultra-shallow soil tillage

The TopCut cutting roller combinations can be used all year round for a wide variety of tasks across various different arable farming systems. Whether it is for shredding crop residues and catch crops, mechanical weed control or seedbed preparation of the soil. The soil structure, soil moisture and water availability are enhanced by the ultra-shallow tillage from the TopCuts.

Your benefits at a glance

Flexible!
Wide range of applications throughout the year for sowing after the plough, mulch sowing and direct seeding – stubble cultivation, destroying catch crops, straw management, mechanical weed control, seedbed preparation Equipped with various tool combinations – for the trailed machines, customised machine configuration with leading tools, main tool segment and rear element for all types of application and conditions.

Future-orientated!
Reducing soil disturbance – promoting soil life and water availability. Mechanical weed control – Highly effective against weeds for which chemical plant protection is less effective due to incidents of resistance.

High performance!
High area coverage with low fuel consumption – up to 20 ha/h* with approx. 2.0 l/ha*

Ultra-shallow soil tillage with the TopCut from AMAZONE

Soil tillage is becoming increasingly important in arable farming, especially in view of the growing challenges posed by drought, chemical resistance and the requirements to reduce the use of plant protection agents. A key role is played by ultra-shallow soil tillage, stubble cultivation and catch crop management. 

Ultra-shallow tillage with the TopCut has many benefits: The minimal working depth of between 0 and 3 cm preserves soil moisture. Capillarity is broken on the surface but remains intact underneath. The humus layer and soil life are protected by such shallow cultivation. Covering the soil with crop residues also protects the soil surface from erosion. Input costs can be reduced thanks to the low diesel consumption per hectare, high working speeds and low wear and tear costs.

With minimal soil movement, reduced wear and tear, and higher areas covered, ultra-shallow tillage can be carried out cost-effectively and efficiently. The soil structure and soil life remain undisturbed.

The TopCut concept

•  Two-section frame concept for quick folding to a transport width of 3 m.
• As a leading tool, a single-row Knife roller is available as an option for the trailed models for intensive shredding.
• Main tool segment with double Knife roller for all models, as well as a choice of double Knife roller, double Minimum TillDisc or a combination of Knife roller with Minimum TillDisc for trailed machines.
• Harrows for combing out weeds are available in the rear for all models, and, for the trailed machines, there is also the option of packer roller for targeted reconsolidation.

The benefits of the TopCut 12000-2

• Maximum flexibility with double Knife roller, double Minimum TillDisc or a combination of Knife roller and Minimum TillDisc in the main working segment.
• Optional Knife roller as a leading tool for intensive shredding.
• Ideal straw distribution with the three-row trailing harrow or perfect reconsolidation with the KWM wedge ring roller with Matrix tyre profile or disc roller. It can also be used without a rear element.
• The angle of the harrow can be adjusted very conveniently from the tractor cab using the fully hydraulic control.
• The ContourFrame system enables optimal contour following across both the folding segments.
• The 4 tool segments can be adjusted individually for height, thereby changing the weight distribution between the main working segment and the rear element.
• The machine can be attached using a K80 ball hitch or towing eyes D 46, D 51, D 58, D 71 and D 79.
