The King Cobra raingun continues to have a huge following in the New Zealand market and is also exported to numerous overseas markets.

The new K2 King Cobra version features several enhanced features, that in one case study, established that using the K2 in place of the existing twin boom irrigator, reduced the number of irrigations run from near 80 to less than 20, reducing the total irrigation set-up time by over 80%. With longer runs, greater spreading width and slower travel speed, it was a no brainer to see the benefit in labour savings.

Patented and New Zealand made, the K2 King Cobra is a great example of true Kiwi ingenuity. Regardless of herd size, there will be labour savings to be gained, so it follows that larger herds will achieve greater savings. However, even smaller owneroperated farms, will also save time and release labour for other tasks on the farm.

“Farmers undoubtably love their Cobras,” says Marina Millar from manufacturer Numedic. “We recently had one customer who was complaining that he had lent his machine to a neighbour to trial and was struggling to get it back. Easy to set up and run, while at the same time being durable and built to last, the King Cobra is also easily adjusted to suit the prevailing conditions,” says Marina.

The K2 King Cobra is available through Numedic’s nationwide dealer network, who provide sales, service and parts support. visit www.numedic.co.nz
