The Hardi Ranger is a 2500L sprayer that suits row crop, cereals, pasture renovation and horticulture work.

Its boom unfolds or folds without the driver having to leave the cab, and its on-the-move boom height adjustment allows easy manoeuvring in tight paddocks.

The machine’s integrated design sees the main tank placed over the axle for best weight distribution and stability, and crop clearance is enhanced by the Paralift boom height control system. This offers a maximum clearance of 1.55m, complemented by adjustable track width from 1.56 to 2.34m.

Boom widths range from 12 to 21m; heavy duty construction and coil spring suspension makes the unit stable and give consistent height control.

Primary control functions for filling and operation are logically placed on the front left side of the sprayer for easy access, and a step and handrail provide safe, easy access to the platform and tank.

Application rates, boom section and pressure are controlled by the SprayBox in-cab controller, and there’s an option to upgrade to the HC5500 application rate controller.

Other options aimed at making operations safer, easier and more productive include the maker’s Turbofiller system for chemical induction at ground level and a 250L flush tank.
