App for smarter decisions
A new app designed to simplify forage planning and boost farm productivity has been launched.
The agreement is said to leverage Croplands’ extensive commercial footprint and decades of horticulture expertise, which should benefit the Australian and New Zealand nut and tree crop markets.
With the Australian and New Zealand nut and tall tree crop markets expanding in recent years, the Nelson Hardie range of orchard sprayers is ideally suited to denselyplanted crops such as almond and citrus and in challenging mature tall tree crops like macadamias and avocados.
The extensive range is equipped with heavy duty chassis and stainless-steel tanks as standard, with PTO fan driven models fitted with a single 34” or 40” fan or dual 34” fans on models up to 4000 litres.
Engine driven models are powered by John Deere power plants from 125 – 325hp, equipped with a single 40”, dual 34”, dual 40” and dual 46” fans fitted to the Super 92 model. The new SP40 self-propelled sprayer features 4WD drive and steer, a 174hp JD engine and a single 40” fan in 2000l – 4000l tank sizes.
“Croplands are excited to partner with an iconic brand that complements our own range, allowing us to offer a complete line of air-blast sprayers to the rapidly expanding Australasian nut and tree crop market,” says Sean Mulvaney, general manager Croplands.
“Both of our companies use common componentry and share a dual focus on optimising technology through set-up, calibration and after sales support.
“We are committed to a seamless transition for current owners and look forward to further embedding the Nelson Hardie range into our local markets.”
