SCOTTISH DEALERS HIGHLIGHT SPRAYER TECHNOLOGY At Kuhn roadshow events
Innovations in crop protection have been on show for Scottish farmers during November as machinery dealerships hosted Kuhn Farm Machinery’s 2019 Sprayer Roadshow.
Agricar, Fife Tractors and Ravenhill were involved in the roadshow and are all stockists of the company’s full range of equipment.
Included in the line-up at events in Elgin, Turriff, Forfar, and Fife were the company’s Oceanis 2 trailed, the Altis 2 mounted and the PF front sprayer.
Kuhn says the trailed Oceanis 2 has a maximum tank capacity of 7,700 litres, and - with compact all-aluminium booms - offers an operating width up to 48 metres. The range is available with KUHN’s MultiSpray system, which uses electric nozzle holders to enable in-cab nozzle selection, automatic nozzle selection to suit the forward working speed and to maximise the accuracy of variable rate applications, plus individual nozzle control to reduce overlapping.
The fully mounted Altis 2 was exhibited with a 2,000 litre tank, which - when used in combination with the PF 1500 front sprayer - gives a fully mounted capacity of 3,500 litres. This machine has the diagonally folding all-aluminium MEA3 boom, which limits the number of joints whilst retaining a compact design.
