HARDI introduces the new MASTER 1500 and 1800 litre tractor mounted sprayer at CEREALS in UK on June 10, 2009. This large lift-mounted sprayer is the top of the range mounted machine for the farmer who does not want to compromise.
The new larger tank design optimises weight distribution, and the vertical folding boom provides a compact transport size ensuring good visibility and manoeuvrability, both while spraying and when driving on the road. The new 1500 and 1800 litre tanks complement the existing tank sizes of 800, 1000 and 1200 litres.
MASTER with folded boomThe MASTER is easily mounted to the tractor with a quick hitch and foldaway parking supports. When mounted on the tractor the MASTER has excellent ground clearance with a smooth snag free underside.
The MASTER 1500 and 1800 litres will be available with vertically folded PRO booms from 12 to 24 metres. The booms are constructed in steel with a lattice design optimising weight with the greatest possible strength. The self-levelling suspension incorporates a heavy duty coil spring to absorb any sudden movements of the boom. An anti-yaw device is incorporated into the boom centre to minimise any movement of the boom. The excellent performance of the PRO boom ensures precision spray applications even in the most challenging field conditions.
All boom functions on the PRO boom are electro–hydraulically operated, from a compact conveniently located control panel. The primary controls, those which are most used in the field, are grouped together for ease of use, such as boom height, independent tilting of either boom section and complete boom slanting. With all other controls conveniently placed to hand, the MASTER PRO is easy to operate.
The spray controls are the well-proven EVC electronic unit with an optional HC 2500 Automatic Spray Controller. With sensors for speed and flow, the HC 2500 Controller is easy to programme and ensures constant application rates and records are kept.
The MASTER 1800 sprayer is equipped with the HARDI model 363 diaphragm pump with a capacity of 183 l/min. The 25 litre capacity low-level chemical induction hopper gives complete mixing of the spray products during transfer to the main sprayer tank. The unique colour coded manifold valve system enables filling and internal cleaning of the sprayer to be carried out from one convenient position at the side of the sprayer.
The MASTER sprayer is available in tank sizes of 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1800 litres and booms from 12 to 24 metres.
