Sprayers aimed at reducing costs and enhancing productivity
Now available to order, John Deere’s 4-Series self-propelled sprayers for 2021 feature several changes over existing models.
The new LS 1000 and LS 1300 machines have a newly designed RHS galvanised steel frame, with components laser cut and folded for greater integral strength, and a rear-to-front tie-rod system that distributes load forces throughout the assembly.
Slim-line 1000 or 1300L moulded tanks bring the load closer to the tractor and have a clean interior profile with no areas where liquids can build up, aiding cleaning when emptying; a venture agitator system keeps product moving at all times.
Additional tanks of 10L and 105L allow hand washing and fresh water flushing.
A 30L induction hopper, mounted at waist height, opens out of the side of the main tank – easier for liquid filling and powder and granule mixing; an in-built rinsing nozzle helps with cleaning of 5 and 20L chemical containers.
Also new, an operator's control system mounted on the left side enables the user to switch from main spray to flush tanks, spray to chemical induction and open, close or drain.
LS series sprayers can be specified for any application with a choice of Bertolini pumps from 75 to 260L/min delivery, in-cab electric or TeeJet Autorate control, manual or hydraulic folding booms, including an up-rated version of the 'super XL series' and foam markers or GPS guidance.
