In a bid to offer one of the most versatile, highest output machines in the mid-range price bracket, Landquip has launched a stretched Fastrac demount to add to their ever increasing range of British built crop sprayers.
The purpose built chassis has been designed to accommodate a 3000, 3500, or 4000 litre stainless steel tank, positioned to achieve the very best weight distribution and, in turn, vehicle traction under the most arduous of conditions and steepest of terrain.
With 18 to 32 metre Alu-light booms and primarily designed for the 4 wheel steer 2100 series Fastracs, the machines are now available for the higher horse power stretched 3000 series.
The booms are equipped with Landquip"e;s Poziflow air switching and continuous pressurised boom recirculation system which suits application pressures as low as 1 bar for liquid fertiliser applications, and up to 9 bar spray pressures through long life ceramic drift reduction air inclusion tips fitted as standard, available with twin rear and forward pointing outlets.
Easy and precise control is delivered to the operator via Landquip"e;s Genius CanBus electronic rate control with integral, manual, easy to use multi section sequential boom switching of up to 11 boom sections.
Programmable options enabling each sprayer to be customised to meet exact individual requirements include:-
Headland assist with a selectable height to which the boom is automatically raised for headland turns:
GPS managed auto section switching that controls nozzle on/off as treated areas are approached:
Up to the minute actual tank contents, constantly updated via a unique in-tank weight cell.
Plumbing and pump options include either a 300 l/min. 6 cylinder PTO driven piston diaphragm pump , or the choice of a 700 l/min. or 1300 l/min. hydraulically driven self priming, easy to maintain centrifugal pump capable of up to 9 bar spraying pressures and fast filling.
For those operators requiring additional capacity, a 1000 or 1250 litre front tank is offered to fit onto the tractor front end weight carrying bracket or 3 point linkage.
To enhance output, the sprayer is designed to enable full drawbar access for those wishing to tow a bowser with hydraulic or air brakes.
For those considering wider booms, Landquip is looking at fitting its new TR5 36 metre boom for 2009 machines.
