rhythm nation The wider Tempo precision planter will be better suited for broadacre cropping, its local distributor says

Above: Ranging from 3–12m wide, the Tempo L series is available in a wide range of mounted and trailed models

wedish seeding specialist Väderstad has released what it says is the largest version of its Tempo L Series precision planter to date – with the model expected to arrive Down Under later this year. With an operating width of 12 metres, the L32 is as wide as the next biggest unit in the range, the L24, but has 32 row units on a fixed 375mm spacing – compared with the 24 units on a 450–800mm spacing offered by its predecessor. The closer spacing will make the Tempo L32 ideal for planting a wide range of winter and summer crops, including cereals, pulses, canola and maize, Väderstad product manager for Australian distributor Claas Harvest Centre, Murray Tuck, says. “Every second row of the machine can be hydraulically raised and disengaged, effectively doubling the row spacing,” he adds. “This feature means producers can easily switch from planting canola or soy beans on a 375mm row spacing to say, planting maize on a 750mm row spacing.” The Tempo L32 features a 3,000 litre on board seed hopper, but is designed to be used with a trailed air cart – such as the Claas

Harvest Centre-distributed Seed Hawk 660, which holds up to 23,000 litres of seed and fertiliser in three separate bins. Fertiliser can be applied 7cm beside the seed furrow or with the seed in the furrow. Ranging from 3–12m wide, the Tempo L series is available in a wide range of mounted and trailed models, with adjustable row spacing and fertiliser options to suit all planting requirements. All models feature Väderstad’s patented ‘PowerShoot’ technology, which controls the delivery of the seed all the way to its placement in the soil, eliminating the effects of gravity, vibrations and slopes. Recent improvements include the addition of optional hydraulic weight transfer and floating row cleaning systems. “The ability to increase or reduce pressure row units enables the operator to precisely adjust the machine to field conditions, thereby ensuring an even seed depth and uniform crop emergence,” Murray says. The floating row cleaner also adapts to field conditions he says, with its parallel linkage mount enabling it to follow the ground precisely. The row cleaner is fitted with a self-cleaning rubber wheel, controlling the depth setting of the spiked row cleaner disc and matching the planter’s speed and precision. An optional small seed kit includes suspended stop wheels to produce an optimal seed-to-soil contact. In addition, the angle of the closing wheels can be easily adjusted to provide a good closing of the seed trench at shallow planting depth. All functions of the Tempo and any attached implements are controlled using the user-friendly Väderstad E-Control iPad inside the tractor. But the Tempo can also be equipped with ISOBUS Task Controller, which enables GPS-controlled variable rate application and automatic section control. Tuck says the unit will be a perfect fit for controlled traffic farming systems in Australia. “Tempo plants by individual seed, which can significantly reduce sowing rates whilst maintaining excellent emergence,” he says.

Left: The new XTA range of augurs comes with a frame redesign

old under its AGI brand, Canada-based Ag Growth International’s new XTA range of augers has been designed for durability, longevity and capacity, the company says. Andy Medlyn, equipment sales manager for local importers and distributors Harberger, says the augers come with a new frame structure with a heavy-duty motor mount designed to handle high horsepower and heavy auger engines. But one of the key features of the new models is their use of double banded belts, which are moulded together to transfer maximum power from the engine to the gearboxes. With triple banded belts used in some models, Medlyn says this move helps gearboxes to maintain a consistent speed when the auger is running. “It just ensures all belts are doing the same circumference rather than one doing most of the work and two just flapping around for a ride,” he says. “You get a much better, consistent drive.”

Tension in these belts is maintained by a self-levelling motor, meaning there is no need to reset the tension once the auger is raised into position, and an electric clutch allows the auger to be stopped and started without shutting down engine drives. The augers also come with extra steel welded to the edge at crucial wear points, a new belt guard system and a 45 litre fuel tank, up from the prior model’s 22-litre, Medlyn says. It also comes with a quick detach tow hitch, with a selfpropelled heavy-duty mover kit available as an option – one which Medlyn says he and the team at Harberger often recommend. “What they have now is the standard self-propelled, which is a standard push-pull system; and they also have a heavy duty selfpropelled [version], which has got the hydraulic joystick control that is already on the Batco conveyors – which is AGI owned as well,” he says. The XTA augers are available in Australia with diameters of either eight or 10 inches (20cm-25cm) and lengths of 36, 41 and 51 feet (10.9m, 12.5m, 15.5m) – with some shorter and longer models available. Medlyn says AGI has made a series of changes to the new XTA, which the company has in stock in Australia today. “Over time things evolve and get much better, I believe any issues that they have had in the past, today with the XTA they have pretty much got everything nailed,” he says.

precision update John Deere’s upgrade makes in-field planning easier

Above left: The latest John Deere Digital Ecosystem upgrades will help farmers and contractors ensure their business’s workflow is running smoothly Above right: John Deere Australia and New Zealand’s new precision agriculture manager, Benji Blevin, described the technology as a “game changer”

armers will be able to schedule tasks for operators from their mobile device following a new update to John Deere’s Precision Agriculture packages. The company’s Work Planner package will be incorporated into the John Deere Operations Centre in January, John Deere Australia and New Zealand’s new precision agriculture manager, Benji Blevin, has announced. Blevin says the package will help farmers and contractors ensure their workflow runs smoothly and that data is collected accurately, while allowing operators to start work as soon as they are in the paddock. “This technology means farmers can plan and communicate much more efficiently with their operators about work that needs to be completed,” he says. “Because the information is synced, everyone is working off the same plan. This helps reduce mistakes, and also assists

farm managers to more effectively monitor overall job quality as they can see exactly what’s happening and make adjustments if needed.” The package can transmit information such as fields, varieties and products to the operator in the field, as well as allowing them to monitor equipment and fieldwork and analyse the performance of various fields, varieties and products from anywhere. Plans can be created, modified and actioned instantly either from the office, or on the go through a mobile phone. “For the operator, this means when they drive into a paddock a pop-up will appear on the Generation 4 CommandCenter with the Work Plan for that field, and they can click one button to set up data collection on the display and get started,” Blevin says. Deere will also better align Operations Center web (for desktop) and Operations Center mobile (formerly called MyOperations), creating a common interface to simplify the farm data management package. The improved Operations Center mobile is active online, while the iOS version for Apple mobile products is available in the Apple App Store. The Android version will soon be available from Google Play. New users can create an Operations Center account at OperationsCenter.Deere.com or contact their local John Deere dealer for more information.

delicate touch Two new tyre ranges – for ATVs and agricultural trailers – have joined BKT’s lineup

Above left: The new Sierra Max Pro is a radial tyre with a wider footprint and robust lugs Above right: BKT is adding three new sizes to its V-Flexa range

ndian tyre manufacturer BKT has released a new tyre for allterrain vehicles, which it says comes with optimised traction to suit off-road conditions. The Sierra Max Pro is a radial tyre with a wider footprint and robust lugs that the company says enables better lateral and forward traction, as well as a smoother ride. “The Sierra Max Pro has been designed to guarantee an extraordinarily comfortable drive while providing safety and full control over steering and driving,” the company says. The new BKT product is being launched in the AT 27 X 11 R 14 size, with an AT 25 x 8 R 12 size already under development. BKT will also expand its V-Flexa range of very high flexion (VF) flotation tyres designed for farm trailers – adding three new sizes: VF 600/65 R 26.5, VF 650/55 R 26.5 and VF 560/60 R 22.5.

The company currently only offers the tyres in the VF 600/55 R 26.5 size, adding that its decision to expand the range is a step towards improved sustainability. VF tyres let tyres transport about 40 per cent more weight at the same air pressure as standard tyres, BKT says. “The latest-generation Flotation product features a tread with three belt layers in HD (heavy duty) steel, which provides greater strength to the casing and hence resistance against damaging attacks,” the company says. “Its extra-large tyre print enables perfect load distribution, but still operating delicately on the land where necessary, thus avoiding soil compaction and so maintaining the value of crops. “Self-cleaning, durability and low rolling resistance complete the qualities which characterise products in this range,” BKT adds.

call out An Australian wireless networking company is seeking NSW and Victorian farmers to trial Wi-Fi calling solutions for a 12-month period

Above: Zetifi chief executive Dan Winson and team members. Courtesy Jackie Cooper

Wagga-Wagga based company is looking for 50 farmers in New South Wales and northern Victoria to trial its technology to allow calls via Wi-Fi, even in areas with poor mobile phone coverage. Zetifi is making the offer after it was one of three Australian companies to receive a grant under the federal government’s $2 million Alternative Voice Services Trial program, which is assessing the potential for new technologies using NBN Co’s fixed wireless and satellite footprints. Company chief executive Dan Winson says Zetifi will provide trial participants with a multi-carrier connection that can replace mobile, satellite or high-capacity radio concentrator (HCRC) coverage. He adds that advances in Wi-Fi calling technology has made it an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional voice services for those living in areas with poor or patchy mobile coverage.

“By providing these farmers with a Zetifi Wi-Fi network, which enable them to make Wi-Fi calls, we’re aiming to prove that our technology can not only provide a solution to poor mobile coverage but provide a stable and reliable replacement for the legacy radio and copper network in rural and remote areas.” The program will provide 50 farmers with access to a fully subsidised hardware installation and a 12 month subscription to Zetifi solutions to help them access better connectivity for Wi-Fi calls. Zetifi will provide 40 farmers with a ZetiBase, which predominantly provides indoor Wi-Fi for areas where weak mobile signals cannot penetrate the residence. The remaining 10 trial participants will be provided with a ZetiCell, a longer-range solution for areas with very poor coverage with a 300m radius of outdoor Wi-Fi and the option to extend connectivity to sheds, yards and across the farm. The company is looking to have all 50 units installed and ready to use by May 31. Winson says the ZetiBase and ZetiCell solutions are just a few of the Zetifi hardware solutions developed to leverage existing telecommunications infrastructure while filling in connectivity gaps in the bush. “While our focus in the AVST is on providing better home voice services, our unique advantage is that we can also provide more robust data connectivity and extend this connectivity right across the farm so that farmers need not drive home or to the top of a hill to get a connection,” he says. The AVST program will last for 12 months and participants will be able to continue their service and subscription at the conclusion of the trial. To register your interest in receiving a Zetifi solution as part of the AVST Program, email hello@zetifi.com or call 1300 093 711.

COVER STORY

get a grip! Its designers say Rata’s Power Claw is the Kiwimade Swiss Army Knife of attachments: letting you push, grab, clamp, carry, grapple and rip with one device

In Australia there has been nothing like it in the market until now.

14 TradeFarmMachinery.com.au

FFM2103_395 editorial.indd 14

here is barely a farmer worth the title in Australia that doesn’t have at least one tractor of some description – even allowing for differences in size, power and application. And it’s probably just as fair to say that each of those tractors has at least one, but more likely two or three, attachments: a fork of some description, maybe a stick rake, and a bucket – these days most likely a 4-in-1. But for New Zealand agricultural machinery manufacturer Rata Equipment, there were plenty of Aussie farmers who weren’t content to stop there. Rata Sales & Marketing manager Sam Searle tells Farms & Farm Machinery that Rata officially began importing the Power Claw, alongside popular equipment like bale clamps, hay haulers and aeration equipment, in February last year. “When we had imported Power Claws to Australia before then, it often came with the comment: ‘We’ve looked all over the internet and could only find you guys and other manufacturers in the US with something like this’,” he says. “Really, until February 2020, there has not been an attachment like the Power Claw available for farmers in Australia.” In New Zealand, Searle says, the multi-purpose attachment of

choice is typically a grapple, and he adds that they are fairly common across the United States. “Where you can get a grapple locally in Australia has typically only been waste workers or civil contractors, and even then, still not really along this grapple rake style… it is just due to culture and what has been made available over the years,” he says. What makes the Power Claw different, Searle says, is that it can both rake and clamp – combining the stick rake and the 4-in-1 bucket into one attachment. “The Power Claw can grapple larger items & more irregular shaped items than a 4-in-1, thereby doing a better job as well as streamlining the workflow by removing the need to change attachments,” he says. The Power Claw has been very popular for land clearing or cleaning up after bushfires, where Searle says a stick rake would require you to push and tumble stumps over a distance “like a hand with no thumb”. A 4-in-1 used here would also struggle to grip any round objects once they get too large as well as picking up dirt, he adds.

COVER STORY

“Whereas with this you can just rip it out of the ground, speed along and then your job’s done,” Searle says. However, Searle adds that the Power Claw is useful for more than just rocks and branches, saying it can be used to pick up “anything”. “Farmers frequently use it to handle silage or multiple conventional bales at a time,” the company says. “They have also been known to replace the roll of a silage buck rake as they can use it to move silage around on a stack when making it.” The Power Claw is available in standard widths of 1.6m, 1.8m and 2.4m, though custom widths are available, and range in weight from 390–550kg. All Power Claw tines are made from 16mm thick AR450 grade high tensile steel, which Rata says is around 50 per cent stronger and 10 per cent lighter than the 20mm tines on the 350 grade steel Rata says is is used in other rakes, grapples and similar products on the Australian and New Zealand market. Searle says that the extra strength tines and the abrasion resistant steel help the Power Claw handle everything from rocks to silage.

“The higher tensile grade of steel means you can push around rocks and rip roots and it is not going to bend or splay,” he says. The tines interlock to provide improved grip and come equipped with an additional reinforcement bar that sits above the ground when raking, helping to provide dirt flow, but ensure branches and other trash are collected. The Power Claw is designed with a rounded base that leads up to the backframe, helping to provide extra leverage when trying to prise rocks out from the ground. But it also incorporates a flat section along the base to make for easy raking, with rounded tine points selected to ensure the rake does not dig into the ground too much. Searle says the Power Claws can also be made with any hitch, though the company stocks models with Eurohitches because they are the most commonly requested. “We can make them to suit virtually any tractor or telehandler or skid steer,” he says.

serious stacks Anderson Group’s Stackpro hay trailers are built to load hay bales quickly and in heavy quantities

Above: The Stackpros have a “quite unique” pickup system – picking up the bale in the same position as it sits

ble to carry 16 8x4x3 bales at once and unload them at a 90 degree angle, Anderson Group’s Stackpro 7200 hay trailer is built for the serious haygrower. Now available in Australia through Wangaratta-based Burder Ag attachments, both the Stackpro 7200 and its smaller sibling, the Stackpro 5400, are built to easily collect and stack square bales at a high speed. Weighing about 20 per cent more than their nearest competitors, (10.1 tonnes for the 5400 and 11.3 tonnes for the 7200), Anderson says the Stackpro is built with a robust design to enable them to endure extreme conditions, while their high speed ensures smooths transitions and easy transport.

Burder’s Anderson sales specialist Joe Mancini says the Stackpros have a “quite unique” pickup system – picking up the bale in the same position and direction as it comes out of the baler. “Secondly, it actually has grabber arms that grab the bale and takes it off the ground,” he says. “Some other systems have chain-driven platforms that run into the bale, and the chain makes its way up the platform and picks up that way. That has a tendency to actually skip the bale on the ground for a while before it picks up,” he adds. The Stackpro’s loading process is fully automated, Mancini adds, saying the driver only has to use the Danfoss touch screen to input how many bales there are to be loaded and their dimensions. “The operator only has to guide the trailer to the next bale,” Mancini says. “The Danfoss touchscreen is also equipped with a ‘customer follow-up’ menu, which tracks the number of bales loaded per field or per customer.” Operating best with tractors of 175 horsepower (130kW) or over, the Stackpros also have loading arms able to support bales up to 1,100kg in weight without damaging twine, and comes with a lubrication-free pivot system that Anderson says makes it virtually maintenance-free. Anderson products are distributed exclusively in Australia through Burder Ag Attachments, which also provides product owners with spare parts, service and support, including through Anderson’s troubleshooting app, available on all smart devices.

stay safe Farmers have been warned about the hazards of unguarded machinery after a fatal accident in the Northern Territory in December

he Northern Territory government has recommended machinery operators and owners install guards around moving items after a fatal accident occurred late last year. In late December 2020, a Territory cattle station worker failed to return after checking bores on the property. According to WorkSafe NT, the worker was later found with fatal injuries, having been entangled in a bore pump. “Preliminary findings indicate the worker’s clothing got caught in the bore pump’s moving parts,” a safety alert from the agency says. “The pump’s pulleys and belt were unguarded, exposing the worker to a number of hazards including entanglement, friction and abrasion hazards, when the pump was running.” The incident comes after two Queensland workers received arm injuries in separate incidents involving conveyor belt systems in October, and follows the death of a Victorian man when his clothing became caught up in a powered drill press. In working to prevent future accidents, the Territory government says that isolating a machine’s moving parts is one option to reduce the risk of accidental contact. Guards, such as covers, casings or shields, create a physical barrier preventing a person, their clothing, equipment or other accessories from making contact with machinery. WorkSafe NT says guards should be fitted to prevent contact with rotating or moving parts, potential crush, shear or nip points in the machine, and those parts of a machine that become very

hot during normal operations. Guards should be solidly built and securely mounted, difficult to bypass, removable only by tools and, arguably most importantly, not create additional risks such as reducing ventilation or obstructing operator visibility. “If the guarded area needs access for maintenance or cleaning, install an interlocked physical barrier that allows access,” the department says. Alternative measures, including well-understood maintenance safety procedures and ensuring workers do not have loose items of clothing, hair, jewellery or personal protective equipment should also be considered.

shipments to China falling 33 per cent below the previous year’s (albeit unusually large) value. Although, Rabobank notes, a 10 per cent November monthon-month fall in shipments to China is probably more representative of the impact of the geo-political tensions. That said, Hunt adds that “the data to date suggests that many products are still flowing through”, with A$800 million worth of food and agricultural products shipped to China in November last year and preliminary data showing exceptionally strong wheat exports, at least, in December.

MAJOR TRANSITIONS AHEAD

good growth Rabobank says that Australian agriculture is set for a profitable 2021

Above: Rabobank’s Tim Hunt Top: Cows in a paddock near Marysville in rural Victoria, Australia

educing Australia’s reliance on China, recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and adjusting to a new focus on sustainability will be the major challenges for Australian agriculture this year, a new Rabobank report suggests. In its recently released annual Agribusiness Outlook for 2021, report lead author and Rabobank head of Food & Agribusiness research, Tim Hunt, says high commodity prices, positive seasonal conditions and low interest rates will likely lead to a generally profitable season, putting the sector in a stronger position to navigate a series of major transitions in the year ahead. “In a current global environment marked by the pandemic, political tensions and trade wars, demand for food and agricultural products has remained unexpectedly strong,” he says. “And despite the punitive actions of China on Australian agriculture, high agricultural commodity prices, low interest rates and positive seasonal conditions are underpinning a positive outlook for most farmers in 2020/21.” The continuing impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit, as well as the US’s transition into the presidency of Joe Biden and ongoing trade wars are making the world a “turbulent place”, the report says, as well as distorting the direction and price of traded goods. “Market intervention is back in vogue, with grain-exporting countries reconsidering export quota and taxes as they fret over food security, while elsewhere port strikes have impeded trade flows,” the report says. Rabobank says several major importing nations appear to be stockpiling agricultural commodities to mitigate the risk of shortages, and adds that spending on food is not substantially diminished, thanks to unprecedented support from governments helping to offset the impact of the pandemic.

WEATHER BOOST Australia has been set up for a good winter crop by aboveaverage rainfall across 2020, along with higher-than-usual moisture to open 2021 and significantly-increased storages across the Murray Darling Basin, Hunt says. “This is improving broadacre farm incomes, boosting locallygrown feed and underpinning better water allocations for irrigators,” he adds. At the same time, the report says, while the La Niña weather conditions have been positive for much of Australia, they have “crimped the production prospects of competitors offshore”, with large parts of the US, Latin America and eastern Europe unusually dry. This had helped to significantly tighten international markets and drive up global commodity prices, Hunt adds.

CHINA TENSIONS Market intervention is back in vogue, with grain-exporting countries reconsidering export quota and taxes as they fret over food security.

FFM2103_395 editorial.indd 18

While “mother nature” is supporting Australian farmers at the moment, the report says that “the Chinese government is in a less generous mood”, with tensions between the two countries showing no sign of easing. “Australian barley, wine and timber exports into China remain effectively blocked as we enter 2021, while informal impediments appear to be constraining shipments of cotton and lobsters,” Hunt says. The report says the loss of some of Australia’s agricultural trade with China is now evident in data, with November 2020

Reducing the sector’s reliance on the Chinese market is one of three major transitions the report identifies that will need to be negotiated by Australian agriculture in the year ahead. The others are recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and adjusting to a market more focused on sustainability. “Whether China continues to reduce its purchases of Australian food and agricultural products in coming years – as we think likely – or not, the risks of supplying this market have definitely increased,” Hunt says. “2021 will likely mark a watershed year, in which Australia starts to reduce its reliance on China, voluntarily or otherwise.” Positively, the report says, prevailing global market settings – with strong demand, limited supply and high prices for agricultural commodities – make this challenge seem less daunting at the current time. “But reorientation to reduce reliance on China is a multi-year challenge that will still be ongoing when the market cycle inevitably turns again,” he says. The year ahead will also require a delicate transition as governments looked to withdraw assistance measures for consumers that had supported end demand for food and fibre during the global pandemic. “If this is messed up, we could easily see demand for food and agricultural products soften during this transition,” Hunt says. An increasing focus on environmental sustainability also looms large in 2021, the report says. “COVID-19 took the headlines from climate in 2020, but it didn’t alter the commitment of key players throughout the F&A (food and agriculture) supply chain to mitigate climate change, prepare for its risk and find mechanisms to reduce and/or recoup the costs of adjustment,” Hunt says. “If the pandemic wanes in late 2021 as hoped, this quest will again rise to the fore, creating both opportunities and challenges. And it may prove to be the greatest of all the transitions facing the sector.”

COMMODITIES For specific commodities, the Rabobank’s 2021 Outlook finds: • Wheat – strong global demand set to keep prices firm through the year • Feed grain – rising global feed grain demand and supply constraints to support prices in 2021 • Beef – a rebuild year, with favourable conditions triggering increased breeding numbers and reduced slaughter keeping cattle prices firm • Sheepmeat – lamb prices expected to remain strong but fall short of recent record levels, given weaker demand and increasing lamb numbers • Wool – a forecast recovery in global consumer demand set to lift prices • Dairy – strong cause for optimism that profitable market setting will extend into the 2021/22 season • Sugar – a balanced global 2021 supply forecast, but outlook subject to impacts of La Niña, trade flows and pandemic • Cotton – production set for sharp recovery, as demand recovers post COVID-19 • Wine – pandemic-related disruptions to food service to continue to influence retail demand for wine, but geo-political tensions with China will put pressure on average export prices • Horticulture – demand for quality, safe horticultural produce in key markets set to remain strong, but COVID-related labour shortages at home and China trade tensions to “take off shine” While for agricultural land, the report says, “the big season will accelerate demand for properties and push up prices further in 2021”.

nuts for fruit & veg Australia’s total production fell slightly amid challenging conditions, but buyer appetites were undimmed in 2019–2020, according to a new report

PROUDLY MADE IN ITALY

ata released by horticulture sector peak body Hort Innovation shows that demand for Australian fruit, vegetables and nuts was higher in the 2019–20 financial year, despite the impact of COVID-19. According to the Australian Horticulture Statistics Handbook 2019/20, more than $15 billion of fruit, nuts, vegetables, turf, cut flowers and nursery plants were produced in Australia last financial year. While challenging seasonal conditions, including drought and bushfires, saw production volume fall 1.5 per cent, its value

increased by 4.5 per cent, lifting from $14.4 billion to $15.1 billion. Hort Innovation head of data and insights Adam Briggs says the growth shows that Australian consumers are still buying local produce, despite recent price increases. “Nuts have performed extremely well again, having grown by $221 million, one-third of the total growth in horticulture value,” Briggs says. “Almonds continued their expansion, with value growth of 14 per cent, while macadamias bounced back from a tough 2018/19 to experience value growth of 26 per cent. “Apples have had two years of double-digit value growth (10 per cent and 13 per cent), despite two years of slight reductions in volume due to seasonal conditions,” he adds. While the COVID-19 pandemic had presented challenges to horticulturalists across the country, particularly in disruption of supply chains, Briggs says the industry showed great resilience in its response. “Some industries even experienced an increase in demand, such as turf which increased in value by 15 per cent from $243 million to $280 million,” he says. “This can be attributed to COVID-19, with people turning to gardening and filling their homes with green life during lockdown.” Featuring more than 470 pages of information drawn from several supply chain sources, including international trade statistics and industry peak bodies, the Handbook includes data on more than 70 horticultural products including fruit, nuts, vegetables, nursery, turf and cut flowers.

anuary has seen a continuation of the sales momentum that saw 2020 deliver the strongest year in tractors sales since the 1980s. What has caused surprise is the strong level of demand across the board, with expectations that this will continue through the year. Supply challenges that were first seen in the middle of last year continue and we expect this to be the case for much of the year. Suppliers are beginning to report some cost increases with shipping, etc. and these are likely to see modest machine price rises as a result. January sales were up 60 per cent on the same month last year and it’s a reminder of how quickly the industry recovered from that period 12 months ago. Activity in the month was strong in all states, with NSW again the standout, up 111 per cent on the same time last year. Victoria reported a solid lift up 30 per cent; meanwhile Queensland was up 63 per cent. Western Australian sales picked up 47 per cent in December, sales in South Australia were solid at 24 per cent up and finally Tasmania finished the month 68 per cent ahead.

reporting categories, supported by the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme. The under 40hp (30kW) range was up 81 per cent for the month. The 40 to 100hp (30–75kW) range was again up strongly 56 per cent in the month and the 100 to 200hp (75–150kW) category was up 42 per cent. The large 200hp (150kW) Plus range enjoyed its first rise for some time, up 73 per cent on January last year. It is this range that appears to be the hardest hit by supply constraints with reports of long lead times common. For products under 200hp we are seeing lead times on factory orders being extended by around six to eight weeks, however it can be two to three times greater than this for the larger machines. Sales of combine harvesters are expected to be similarly affected during the year, with the usual order intake season taking on greater importance. Baler sales were in line with the same month last year and are expected to remain strong in 2021. Sales of out-front mowers are still flying, up 124 per cent on the same time last year. As we look forward to 2021, most suppliers are predicting a continuation of the strong levels of demand underpinned by both the ongoing favourable weather conditions and the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme. We do however expect to see some unevenness in supply as the main manufacturing centres in North America and Europe continue to struggle with the impacts of the coronavirus. This may lead to some ‘lumpiness’ in sales reporting, however we expect this year to be another strong one. Finally, the TMA’s Annual Conference is planned to be held once again this year in Melbourne during July. Full event details will be published shortly and we hope that people will take the opportunity to come together again after what feels like a very long break.

Deere quits Agritechica John Deere will not exhibit at Agritechnica 2021 due to ongoing concerns over COVID-19. Chris McCullough reports

Above: John Deere had a major presence at Agritechnica 2019

n a blow to event organisers, John Deere has announced it will not attend Agritechnica in November this year. The major agricultural machinery show, organised biannually by DLG, the German Agricultural Society, is set to go ahead, despite many other European show organisers cancelling their events in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Deere is typically one of the show’s biggest supporters in terms of show presence and revenue generated for exhibition space. In a statement, Deere vice president of sales and marketing Alejandro Sayago said the decision was an extension on the company’s wider pause on attending trade fairs. “Despite numerous controlling measures, such as business restrictions, lockdowns and event cancellations, the pandemic has not yet been sustainably brought under control,” he says. “The future remains uncertain with virus mutations and the slow progress of vaccination. As such, an adequate protection of

world’s population cannot yet be ensured, which would be an essential prerequisite for participation in an international trade fair.” DLG’s Agritechnica project manager Freya von Czettritz says in a response that the group expects more than 2,000 exhibitors to participate in the event. “The number of exhibitor registrations to date underscores the importance of Agritechnica as a global platform for agricultural machinery manufacturers and their suppliers,” she says. “Together with our safe business concept for the physical trade fair in Hannover in November, we are working closely with our exhibitors to create the best possible planning conditions for safe and successful participation in the world’s leading trade fair for agricultural machinery. “Numerous leading agricultural machinery companies have already signed up or are currently in the planning stages of their trade show appearance at the trade show in Hanover in November. From May this year, all exhibitors will be able to present themselves on our new online platform Agritechnica digital,” she adds. Companies that have already registered as exhibitors for Agritechnica 2021 include Claas, Agco, SDF, Kubota, Amazone, Kuhn, Kverneland, Krone, Horsch, Lemken, Pottinger, Grimme and Väderstad.

he National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo has become the premier event for the earthmoving, construction and public space management industry to debut its new releases. This year, the upgraded Sydney Dragway is the venue from Friday, April 9 through to Sunday, April 11. All the latest products and technology will be on show, including landscape materials and equipment, site preparation, earthmoving equipment and attachments, GPS tracking and environmental solutions to public space management, plus much more. Komatsu will be showing its model WB97R-8, the latest in its range of backhoe loaders. This new release offers twowheel steering and a powershift transmission, a high level of standard specifications and unrivalled operator visibility thanks to Komatsu’s unique combination of a lateral exhaust pipe and compact bonnet. “With a long tradition and well-established experience on the worldwide market, Komatsu has renewed its image with the -8 series, and introduced a new model in an always competitive BHL scenario,” says Komatsu’s national sales manager utility, Carl Grundy. “The operators’ needs are at the centre of attention with this new WB97R-8, with higher standards the basis of its development.” From Norm Engineering is the Silage Grab, designed as the perfect two-in-one attachment for agricultural, forestry, land, and waste management. The grab/stick rake combination makes this an ideal attachment to clean up properties, clear fire breaks, manage feedlots, waste and recycling. Once fully opened, the silage grab can be used as a stick rake/dozer to clear and move silage, animal feed, logs, debris, rubble and rocks. The strong serrated edges on the tynes allow the grapple arm to firmly grab and carry various materials and hay bales. Hydraulically operated, the tynes open to 1,150mm. Specialist recruiter Just Automotive Recruitment will be exhibiting. Commenting on the status of industry employment,

director Jason Sultana says: “We all saw our fair share of upheaval and change during 2020. The employment market in the automotive, plant and heavy machinery sector was not immune to the fallout from COVID-19. “There was a definite dip in recruiting activity during the March–June 2020 period, though from June onwards, vacancies rose again and our phones were running hot. “The competition for quality staff was extremely high, with companies going above and beyond to hang onto their employees. We found many employees were counter-offered and elected to stay put during the uncertainty of lockdowns, hotspots and the changes to the JobKeeper program. “We have also seen renewed interest from numerous customers looking to employ overseas candidates due to the continued lack of local supply of qualified blue-collar employees. “2021 has certainly started on a more positive note. Candidates seem far less nervous and more willing to consider new opportunities, opening up the market even further as we move into the rebuilding stage post-COVID.” Long-time Diesel Dirt & Turf sponsor Hydraulic Steels started in 2012. Managing director Stephen Holt says: “Our business is geared towards the multitude of engineering workshops supplying hydraulic repair and manufacturing services to the hydraulics industry. “Because repair businesses operate under high pressures – speed is everything. Repairs are needed as quickly as possible. This is where Hydraulic Steels Australia has the edge over many larger businesses, because we only handle hydraulic steels and our specialisation enables us to provide the industry’s fastest service through significant investment in stock, equipment and systems.”

NOT JUST A

truck show One major announcement about the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show was not about the truck show at all. Yet, it was greeted with overwhelming enthusiasm by stalwarts from across the industry

he last Brisbane Truck Show to feature heavy equipment and machinery was also the last truck show held at the RNA Brisbane Showgrounds – back in 2009. The organiser’s hands were forced by the redevelopment of the Showgrounds, however the move to Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre has been well rewarded. Exhibitors have been able to really step it up with the quality of their displays in one of the world’s great venues. The Brisbane Truck Show is the only event that takes over the whole centre, with fantastic displays filling all three floors. The proximity to South Bank and the CBD has opened up new opportunities for truck displays, networking, dining and entertainment. If there was one, the only downside was that there was nowhere for the big yellow construction gear. Well, in Australia we never say never. The exciting news that the 2021 Civil Construction Field Days will be hosted by the Civil Construction Federation of Queensland in tandem with the Brisbane Truck Show was confirmed last month. They have delivered the concept on a smaller scale before, but the 2021 event is not short of ambition. The new venue is down river from the Story Bridge alongside the fabulous Northshore Hamilton development at Portside Wharf. It is large enough for a huge array of heavy equipment and machinery and plenty of parking too. Not that you’ll need it if you take the free shuttle from the truck show, or jump on a Rivercat from the South Bank. The reciprocal ticket means that your entry into one show will also get you into the other. That’s a lot of bang for your buck. Last year’s Brisbane Truck Show brought with it a new umbrella event that takes in all the displays, product launches, dinners, conferences, meetings and other activations alongside the show.

Australian Heavy Vehicle Industry Week gave a name to an extraordinary collection of activities that make Brisbane an irresistible destination for the industry every two years. 2021 will see major anniversaries celebrated by a couple of the industry’s biggest names. Plans are well underway for how that will look on the ground but enough to say that you, the visitor, will be the beneficiary. There will be more trucks and trailers on display at South Bank parklands and more again in the CBD. Virtually every bar and restaurant in the precinct will be offering deals for truck show attendees; the National Apprentice Challenge will be staged in the South Bank Piazza and live entertainment every day – and every night – will bring the festival to life. Meanwhile, the Brisbane Truck Show will benefit from new features including a dedicated Future Fuels hub and an expanded Technology and Innovation hub. The Queensland Heritage Truck Show over at Rocklea has been taking place on the weekend of the show for years. If you haven’t made your way over there before, 2021 is definitely the year. Speaking of heritage trucks, the 1928 Thornycroft A2 that was the stage for the very first Brisbane truck show in 1968 is currently being restored. That project is no small challenge, however everything is on track to show her off on opening day of the show. It sounds like everything that’s old is new again, doesn’t it? All that and a whole lot more. With the borders opening up, hotel rooms are booking fast. Make sure you’ve locked in yours.

OPINION

green revolution Ag chemicals are the key to food security

Above: Agricultural chemicals deserve to be recognised as playing a key part in the third agricultural revolution

Trevor Whittington – CEO WAFarmers

It’s hard to ignore its success in paving the way to help end the curse of famine.

FFM2103_395 editorial.indd 32

sk any Australian who is sympathetic to the Green Movement if they think agricultural chemicals are good or bad and the overwhelming answer will be that they are bad. Show them a picture of an organic farm and ask them if the produce is healthier than that grown on a modern farm using chemicals and they will confidently answer, yes it is so. Much of the anti-farm chemical thinking spouted by Greenies has its origins in Rachael Carson’s book Silent Spring, written back in 1962 and now seen as the woke bible that kicked off the modern environmental movement. Carson bemoans the impact of industrial farming on the environment and food safety, serving up doomsday scenarios of what will happen if we continue with the use of genetically selected seed varieties, synthetic fertilisers and the devil of them all – farm chemicals. At the top of her list are the evils of 24D and DDT, developed in the 1940s along with systemic fungicides like triazines (1950s). By the time Carson’s book appeared there was a rush of new herbicides, pesticides and fungicides being offered to farmers to help break the pest and disease cycle that had plagued the earth since time immemorial. These chemicals became a key part of what is now known, to the horror of the Green movement, as the Green Revolution: that great leap forward in farm productivity underwritten by big business and big science. It was a revolution unlike the normal left wing revolutions as it embraced everything Greenies hate while enriching the peasantry and filling their bellies. It’s hard to ignore its success in paving the way to help end the curse of famine and to keep up with a rapidly growing global population. Not surprisingly, we never heard from the Green Movement on how the world was going to feed itself back in 1962 without these chemicals when the population hit a record 2.5 billion and in the same year 50 million people died of famine. Or, in 1974, when 1.5 million died of famine while the world rocketed

past four billion, or today as it approaches eight billion and there is no famine. Those with the wealth to consume organic soy lattes and time to ponder the merits of a world without chemicals seem comfortable in their certainty that organic farming is the only way to save the world’s soils and our planet. No big boom sprays feature in their dreams, just lush pastures and bumper crops. But in spite of this attitude, agricultural chemicals deserve to be recognised as playing a key part in the third agricultural revolution. This is the one that followed the domestication of cereals and livestock 10,000 years ago and the second that applied common sense to crop rotations around 500 years ago. Now, the third, which is barely over half a century old, links science to technology. The third revolution is a silent revolution that has led to a bountiful harvest and saved many millions of hectares of virgin vegetation from being cleared, not to mention hundreds of millions of lives. While Bob Geldolf might have tried to raise funds for the devastating Ethiopian drought of 1985 that cost 1.2 million lives, it was the shareholders of the likes of DuPont and Dowell that contributed the most to the survivors’ ongoing food security. Unfortunately, the Green Movement refuse to accept the lessons of science and history, preferring to offer up visions of a future free of the evils of chemicals like glyphosate and spray seed; a loss that would surely leave millions of bellies empty and the clearing of more land for agriculture. Agricultural chemicals have been one of the great revolutionary success stories of the modern era, its technical successes should be lauded, and its practitioners encouraged to continue to adopt the latest chemicals and purchase the latest spraying equipment. Maybe it is time for someone to write the book Fat Harvest in time for the 60th anniversary of Silent Spring because that is what we have achieved.

or Daz Scale and his team at premium second hand Cat dozer dealer Makin Traks, based in Yandina on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, 2020 was the year that online sales really took off in a big way. “Pre-COVID, we probably had 50 per cent of our customers come into the yard and look over the machine, and check it out and start it and drive it and things like that,” he says. “Now it’s something like 10–15 per cent of people actually look at the machine, but with all the borders closed and those sorts of things, it makes it harder for people to buy, so you have to go the extra mile to show them the quality in the machine.” With roughly 50 per cent of his buyers focused on farming Scale says he expects the trend will reverse a little as the threat of COVID-19, and ongoing travel restrictions, fade. That said, it won’t go back entirely to how it was before, he says. “We know now that as a person, as a family, as a society we can work more independently, and as long as you can rely on the products you don’t necessarily have to do as much face to face,” he says. “As far as wholesale commercial dealerships go, as long as you have got a good brand and a good point of difference, and people know they can trust you, I think the trend will still stay that way.”

When it comes to brands, Scale is quite confident, with his dealership specialising in premium second hand Cat dozers, ranging from the 77.6kW (104 horsepower) D3 model to the 283kW (380hp) D8 model. “We only do premium second hand. That is the best you can get for the hours that are represented on the machine… as straight as possible and in as original condition as possible that hasn’t been logged, or bent up or backed around.” Earning customers’ trust, Scale adds, is reflected in taking care of the small details such as regassing the air-conditioning, ensuring bearings are tight and that there are no oil leaks. “If you look at the machine as if you were going to send it out on a 12 month contract for yourself… you are going to be a long way out in front,” he says. “If you send a quality piece and they get a good run out of it, they will ring you up in six months and then say, we want a second piece, and then their business grows and as their business grows, yours grows. “You have got to be looking at it as the big picture, and doing unto others what you would have them do unto you.” For his buyers, Scale seeks out a possible service history and an ECM product status report to verify the hours worked, and puts together a workshop report, an itemised service report and a handover folder for the machine in question. “Unfortunately there are people in the industry who offer a machine saying that they have got 5,000 hours on the clock, but they have 8,000 hours – it makes a difference of $50,000 value in the machine,” he says. “But with a computer plug-in you can verify the hours and make sure that that is what is demonstrated on the screen.” Using the dozer serial number to check a vehicle’s service history is an essential step for Scale – as well as determining how much of that servicing has been done by Cat, and how much by third parties. “When it comes to machinery and especially dozers, it’s what you don’t see that often needs the repairs and often costs the most to repair. “When we talk to customers we say, make sure you have verification of the hours, make sure you know what has been done, because you can spend $10,000–$20,000 on these things and not see any difference.” The welcome pack Scale prepares for all units sold contains information including a verification of the hours, the serial and engine number and any repairs that needed attention or will in the foreseeable future – such as windscreen wipers, bearings or the air conditioning. “There will always be 10, 20, 30 things that were needed on that item that, if you were buying it from me, you could put it straight to work,” he says. Of course, knowing whether a machine is job ready will rely on understanding the job that the machine will be required to perform – whether it’s a different task week to week or working solidly at one place for a six-month stint. Scale says the D6 is his most popular model – large enough to be highly productive and small enough to fit on a truck bed. “Typically, a D3 is a hobby farmer and a small contractor, a D4 or D5 you are doing more contractor work at bigger farms, and a D6 is full contracting and big, big farm work,” he says. With a genuine interest from the supplier in the machine, the customer has the best opportunity to receive the right machine the first time-job ready, he says. “A successful business can obtain 30–40 per cent repeat business in this industry due to quality products, professionalism and integrity,” he says. This means giving customers guiding points when they need it – including operating and service advice, he says, as well as respecting the knowledge that a buyer may already have. “It’s really about just giving customers some guiding points so they can make good decisions and get something that represents value for what they are doing,” Scale says. “You have to go the extra mile to show them the quality in the machine, whether it is photographs, whether it is videos, whether it is Facetime… whatever you need to do to give them peace of mind,” he says. “You are talking 200–400 thousand dollars, it is the price of a house, so it is a considerable investment, and it has to be treated with that sort of respect.”

REVIEW Images by Mark Fouhy

bare bones bruiser While our role as machinery testers allows us to test drive the newest and most highly spec’d machinery on the market, it’s important to acknowledge less flashy machines like the Kverneland 9584C twin rotor rake are just as crucial to the farming industry, says Farm Trader NZ’s Mark Fouhy

The simplicity of the machine also translates to an easy-to-operate machine.

here is a lot to like about the Kverneland 9584C twin rotor rake. Having a solid, hardworking machine that’s refreshingly not bogged down with electronic bells and whistles was a reminder that machines are built to do a job – efficiently and with minimal complications. Our test machine for the day belongs to Tony Hart from New Zealand’s Hartland Agriculture, who received the Kverneland 9584C twin rotor rake at the beginning of the 2020 grass season. Like all of his fleet, Hart aims to keep his gear in peak working condition to ensure consistent workloads and minimise breakdowns. His replacement policy of the two twin rotor rakes his business operates is three years or 60,000 bales (depending on the seasons, as more or less grass/bales may push the change by six months earlier or later). Up until recently, Hart has been operating rakes from another manufacturer. However, having received good back-up service and support for his McHale balers from Power Farming Morrinsville, Hart decided to take a look at the Kverneland rake when it came time to replace the old rake. Although not a lot was wrong with the other brand, Hart has found the Kverneland machines to be stronger in the headstock/mounting – a weakness of the other brand, which could let the machine down over time. Also, when it came time to do a deal on the new rake, the price was competitive, and the Kverneland machines along with good stock of parts was worth considering.

In Australia, both Kverneland and McHale products are distributed through PFG Australia.

TEST ACTION After just two months with Hartland Agriculture, this machine has already rowed up around 18,000 bales, which means it averages around 300 bales a day without allowing any days off or taking into consideration the days it’s used in front of the loader wagons. With a working width of 7.6 to 8.5 metres, it’s wide enough to pick up three mower widths, leaving a nice row for the baler. The new McHale fusion balers have a pickup width of 2.1 metres and the rake will row between 1.4 and 2.1 metres. Hart has found rake width of 8.2 to 8.4 metres in light crops and narrower again for heavier crops works well for them. In good going, this will allow them rake at 8–12km/h. Since having the Kverneland rake, the guys at Hartland Ag have put it through its paces with heavy green crops and paddocks with spots that are not 100 per cent dry. However, despite the challenges, it has handled these conditions with ease. At our time of testing, both heavy and lighter, drier grass crops through summer had yet to be encountered, but these conditions should generally be easier rather than more challenging.

OPERATION The simplicity of the machine also translates to an easy-tooperate machine. There is no big fancy control box to navigate

your way around; the small dual toggle control to operate the electric solenoid for the individual lifting of each rotor is selfexplanatory. This model comes standard without individual rotor lift, although there’s an option to factory fit electronic control or hydraulic lift control if you have enough rear service hydraulic ports for the extra function. On the day of our test, Hartland Ag had the Kverneland rake hooked to a John Deere 155, which provided plenty of ponies, as the horsepower requirements to run a twin rotor rake are minimal. A handy set-up some contractors run is a 100 to 150 horsepower (75 to 112kW) rake tractor with a loader to start stacking bales behind the baler if time allows. With this unit, Kverneland has kept the transport width under three metres, coming in at 2.98 metres, which allows the driver to fit through 10-foot (3m) gates with a little to spare. The strong headstock coupled with the simple active wheel steering system allows turns up to 80 degrees and excellent manoeuvrability though gateways and headlands.

A downside of being able to grab three rows of grass with a twin rotor is the large diameter rotors required to do so. The rotors on this machine are 3.65 metres, which when folded up give a transport height of 4.1 metres. This is getting quite tall; taller than a quadrotor in transport position. However, to get around this, the arms are removable, without tools, bringing the transport height down to 3.45 metres. Alternatively, Kverneland offers some models with a hydro option, which allows you to lower the rear transport wheels and overall height of the machine by 40cm, without removing tine arms, or even leaving the tractor seat. Manual mechanical adjusters set the raking height. If you want to add more, there’s an optional extra box you can tick for those features, which allows some personalisation. A key component of any rake is the rotor and its ability to get grass into a uniform row for whatever machine is following to bale or harvest. I was immediately impressed with the heavy-duty Proline rotor head. The sealed (maintenance-free) drive system with

oil-immersed pinion and crown wheels ensures full and permanent lubrication. The 12 removable tine arms are made of tube steel with enough tensile strength to avoid bending over the course of normal operation. However, should they be damaged, tool-less removal should allow quick fixing or replacment. To remove an arm entirely requires just three bolts to undo and allows for an individual arm to be repaired, although, this should be required only once in a blue moon. The Terralink Quattro system of the wheels ensures clean pick-up of the crop no matter how the rake is sitting: forward, back, left or right. Our test machine was running six tyres beneath each rotor: a pivoting front wheelset and double bogies at the rear. Wheels are mounted as close to the tines as possible for optimal ground following. For lifting over rows this model has a generous 45cm of clearance.

SUMMARY If you’re after a versatile, yet simple, well-built twin rotor rake, the Kverneland 9584C Proline (or another model from the range) is well worth looking at. There is a lot to like about machines that aren’t loaded down with sometimes unnecessary technology. Maximising output and minimising downtime, which, let’s face it, is often down to faulty electronics or sensors, is of major importance to farmers and contractors. With some straightforward maintenance, this machine is a total workhorse. Just keep the drive shafts greased and check tyre pressures occasionally. Oil-immersed and maintenancefree crown and pinon wheels are features of these higher-spec Proline rakes and along with slightly thicker 10mm tines, they are designed to get through large workloads. And showing that the proof is in the pudding, Hartland Ag has just taken delivery of its second identical machine.

REVIEW

on a roll The combination of a Dalbo 6.3m Maxiroll with an Einböck air seeder proves a winning combo for Farm Trader NZ’s Jaiden Drought

he combination of a Dalbo 6.3m Maxiroll with an Einböck air seeder gives large-scale farmers and contractors the ability to plant grass and brassica crops with the convenience of doing two jobs at once. This also relates to a lower outlay, thanks to the fact this machine is significantly cheaper than a systems drill of a similar size, plus has the added bonus of being able to be pulled by a 100hp (75kW) tractor. The other benefit to both the contractor and client is that the machine can be placed straight into the ploughed ground with very convincing results, which reduces bashing the soil structure around with a power harrow and allows higher yields.

DALBO ROLLER Images by Justin Bennett

Looking at it, you would never guess the paddock has not been power harrowed.

Dalbo is a Danish company that manufactures a wide range of rollers, seedbed cultivators, stubble cultivators and front presses, alongside the recently tested and impressive Rollomaximum. The Dalbo Maxiroll we tested has recently been resigned to a sleeker, more refined chassis, which retains the strength of the old model but allows for more compact folding. This facilitates the 6.3-metre working width to be folded to just 2.5 metres for transport, allowing contractors to forget the hazard panels, overwidth signs and having the rule book thrown at them by the highway patrol.

GROUND PRESSURE Quite possibly the best feature about the Maxiroll, however, is the unique weight transfer system that it employs. Dalbo calls this the Duoflex System. It gives the operator a clear view from the cab of the large pressure dial and allows the desired pressure to be distributed to the wings. Exactly one third of the hydraulic pressure is dispersed over each of the three sections. What about contour following, I hear you ask? This is covered by gas accumulators, which allow oil to flow in and out of each ram depending on where the hump or hollow is, and once back on flat ground, it evens itself back out. The other way the roller achieves its contour following characteristics is that the snowflake rings are tight on the shaft, but the waved breaker rings have a much larger centre hole allowing them to move with the ground much easier than a rigid design.

HYDRAULIC FOLDING The roller is mounted in three sections: one mid-section mounted to the transport wheels and two wings. The wings are first lifted out of the transport locks before large down pressure rams unfold them. The transport wheels are then folded back, allowing the rollers and cracker boards to be lent forward and into working position. Larger 400/60x15.3 transport tyres are

fitted standard on all machines implemented into New Zealand for decreased soil compaction and safer road transport.

CRACKER LEVELLING BOARDS I have seen these work exceptionally well straight into the ploughed ground. Looking at it, you would never guess the paddock has not been power harrowed, as you get the same finish as a packer roller but without the soil structure damage of the tines. The Crackerboard is made up of 12 heavy-duty spring tines on the wings and 10 in the middle section. As these move through the ground, they create a shaking motion as well as a grading effect to help break up clumps and create a nice fluffy seedbed for the seed to be applied before the roller. The board works on a parallelogram type system, where instead of lifting straight up and down it creates more of a gliding motion by leaning forward. This allows for a smoother finish without creating waves across the paddock.

RINGS The test machine featured the snowflake ring; a new design in the spokes in the ring. The design gives a greater number of spokes, which, in turn, gives far greater strength, as each point on the outside of the ring has a spoke on the inside to support it.

Dalbo claims the snowflake ring is six times stronger than conventional Cambridge rings. To be fair, they are putting their money where their mouth is, by offering a six-year warranty on the snowflake rings, which in itself is impressive. Intermediate floating (sloppy on the shaft) breaker rings are in between each snowflake ring to minimise the risk of roller blocking in wet soil conditions. As the new ring design is heavier, the rings are mounted on larger 60mm steel shafts and equipped with rubber suspended bearings on the outside and a central hanger bearing in the middle to give added strength.

EINBÖCK AIR SEEDER The P-BOX-STI sitting on the back isn’t some variation of the Colin McRae world rally Subaru WRX STI; instead, it’s a Dalbo branded Einböck air seeder with electric drive; not quite as nimble on the gravel but unreal straight into ploughed or excrop ground. The electric unit is specifically called the ‘Speedtronic’ and essentially uses either the GPS, seven pin tractor plug, or a radar to seed dose based on forward speed. Features include a 500-litre steel hopper, rubber seal for sealing the pressurised tank and a sturdy platform for loading and carrying extra seed. There is a hectare and operating hours counter on an easy-

to-use in-cab monitor and an automatic calibration button (start/stop) is attached to rear of the machine to purge seed, which then sends the time back to the monitor. Just punch in the weight and the monitor does the algebra to get the correct seeding rate There is an automatic switching on/off of the seeding roller on the headland with a sensor on the paddles at the front of the machine (or you can hit start/stop on the monitor) and a predose function where you can set the monitor to have the tubes pre-charged for when you turn at the headland. Other sensors include the hopper level sensor (there is also has a window in the side of the tank); a speed sensor and a seed tube blockage sensor. Depending on the seeding rate and working speed, it can be set to anywhere from one to 300kg per hectare. Grass seed, for example, can be sown up to 40kg/ha at a speed of 10km/h. Eight sections on the seed rollers translate to eight outlets, which run down behind the paddles but in front of the roller. The eight hoses have a Y on them, which turn it into a 16-outlet

machine with a seeding ‘splash plate’ fanning the seed for even coverage. The machine comes standard with two seed rollers: one for grass, oats, etc. and the other a small seed for brassicas. A total of nine different rollers are available and can be changed without any tools. Once the roller is changed the adjustable scraper keeps the seed from coming back over the seed roller and ruining the seeding accuracy. A stirring shaft prevents the seed mix from separating and bridging in the tank.

SUMMARY The Dalbo Maxiroll is a sleek-looking machine with rolled steel for extra strength and a slim design. These rollers with levelling paddles are extremely effective in a variety of ground conditions, and the design of the rings and cracker boards can make the need for a power harrow obsolete. The high-spec air seeder is packed with features to make any type of seeding job a walk in the park. The combination is a formidable duo, making a roller/ seeder combo a must-have in the fleet.

Mallee-bound Hardi Australia is branching out into Victoria’s Mallee Region after signing a new deal with the Mildura base of distributors Haeusler’s Group

Above: One of Hardi Australia’s Rubicon sprayers, this one with a 54m boom.

aeusler’s Group will begin distributing sprayers from Hardi International, including the Rubicon model, from its Mildura base this year after signing a deal with Hardi Australia. Under the deal, Haeusler’s Mildura will keep a Hardi Rubicon 9000 sprayer with a 48m boom in stock, configured with the company’s H-Select Nozzle Technology. The branch will also sell and support Hardi’s range of trailed sprayers. Haeusler’s Group manager Justin MacFarlane says the Hardi range will enable the Mildura dealership to serve “every need of its extensive broadacre clientele”. “We always look for equipment that is a clear leader in the market,” he says. “Hardi’s broadacre equipment has been gaining momentum for some time, so we are excited about the solutions we can

provide for our growers and contractors in the Mallee region.” Hardi’s Victoria territory manager Graham Wilkinson says the move will be a great opportunity for both businesses. “When it comes to spraying, it’s no news that farmers are seeking new technologies, higher capacity and boom widths,” he says. “With Hardi sprayers soon in its portfolio, Haeusler’s will have greater ability to respond to customers’ needs. So we are very excited about that.” Haeusler’s Group currently has bases in Mildura, Sea Lake, Robinvale, Echuca and Shepparton, employing 130 staff across the company. Hardi Australia operates from an extensive facility in Adelaide, and the majority of Hardi sprayers sold in Australia and New Zealand are built in South Australia.

broad reach Moving onto a wider boom is helping one WA farming family keep their new sprayer going for the long term

FFM2103_395 editorial.indd 44

pgrading to a 48m spray boom from their previous 36m unit was a big move for the Ward family, based near Mingenew in Western Australia, but they’re confident the change will pay off. Husband Sam, wife Chloe and daughters Ada (2) and Wren (four months) have been farming a 9,000 hectare property near Mingenew since 2015, after becoming involved in the wider family farming operation. Located predominantly in the Three Springs Shire, the mostly yellow sandplain country grows similar areas of canola, lupins and wheat. They also run about 200 Charolais breeders. The Ward family have been long time users of Miller sprayers, typically turning them over after around 1,700 hours of use – and their most recent upgrade saw them buy the latest Nitro 7420 sprayer, complete with a 48m Pommier boom option. Sam says he is confident the new model will be with the family for four to five years, noting that the wider boom helps them cover more hectares per hour.

“We are getting an extra 400ha out of a tank of fuel, so a total of 900ha, travelling at spraying speeds of 22–32km/h depending on the conditions,” he says. Equipped with a specific Miller centre frame and a standard hydraulic anti-yaw, the boom also has corrosion resistance features, with surface oxidisation protecting the aluminium. “I find the Pommier boom rides better than our previous 120foot (36m) boom,” he adds. “Going over deep-ripped land with our 5000 Series sprayer also used to be a task for it, but this latest machine just charges along.” The Wards operate a twin tiered spray line system on the Pommier boom and can have up to three tiers. “We have a 250mm spacing between the nozzles and at a slower speed, one every second nozzle operates. At the next speed level, a slightly different size nozzle can kick-in,” Sam says. “You can have a smaller nozzle in between the 250mm-spaced nozzles. It helps to optimise your pressures as you increase your speeds. “Rather than running electric cables, we just have air lines and the air supply activates the nozzles on and off,” he adds. The front-mounted Miller sprayers are also an advantage for spraying in dusty conditions during summer, Sam says, adding they were able to tailor nozzles in front of the wheels and use two nozzles near the rear wheels to minimise dust effects. Automated filling and rinsing controls are another standard inclusion with the Miller Nitro 7000 Series, ensuring maximum filling efficiency. Miller sprayers are distributed nationally by McIntosh Distribution and the Wards secured their latest machine through local dealer, McIntosh & Son at Geraldton.

performance, stability, comfort RoGator delivers it all to an SA farmercontractor with its self-propelled sprayer

odd and Brooke Orrock bought their first RoGator selfpropelled sprayer after an accident that involved an insurance company and the need for a quick changeover. When the family bought their second RoGator, it was no accident. In February they bought a RoGator 1300C for their 2,400ha cropping farm near Murray Town, South Australia. It is a family farm owned by Todd, his mum Karen, and his wife Brooke. Todd and Brooke’s children, Sophie and Mitchell, also work in the business. Todd says there are many things he likes about RoGators. “I like the simplicity of the drive system and the stability of the booms. RoGators carry the boom really close to the axle, so they don’t get a waggle up,” he explains. Todd has to work in small paddocks and the ability to spray folded up at 60ft (18.3m) is another advantage. The boom is divided into 35 sections. Every four nozzles have their own section and the nozzles are 250mm apart. Then there is the continuous boom recirculation, which Todd particularly likes. He used to either park in a corner and prime up the boom, or else he did laps. “It took 300 litres of product to ensure it was primed. Now, I can prime on my way to the paddock and start as soon as I am in the gate. It cuts down the boom sprayer’s hours.” Another advantage of boom recirculation is that left-over product goes back into the tank. It keeps the boom clean with water, which minimises contamination and makes decontamination easy.

Todd describes the RoGator’s suspension as like driving a big bean bag. “It has air suspension on the cab and boom. I have had major back surgery with discs removed. At the end of a day spraying, I get out and I am still walking. Comfort is good,” he says. The RoGator 1300C has a 6,300-litre tank which has automatic agitation. Agitation reduces as it empties to limit foaming. Todd says his RoGator 1300C is more fuel-efficient than his previous one. Traction is also better, with power to all four wheels. “It has a smarter drive that doesn’t have to run at full revs all day. It matches the engine speed to the load,” he explains. “Maintenance is also easy. There are only two filters on the spraying side, so cleaning out is a breeze,” he adds. “It is working very well. Product recovery and boom recirculation are amazing features.”

back in black Built on the body of Goldacres’ iconic sprayers, the Atrac M-Series tractor range is proving adept in fertiliser spreading as well

emand is high for Goldacres’ tractor range, just about one year after the product’s official launch, with many taking advantage of its spreader-friendly design. Goldacres released its M Series of multi-purpose tractors under its Atrac brand last year, using some features and components from its existing self-propelled sprayer platform. Currently comprising the M4, based on the Goldacres G4 self-propelled sprayer, and the M8, based on the G8 sprayer, the tractors boast a black and white livery – compared with the company’s traditional green. Both the M8 and M4 prototypes have been built and have spreader bodies manufactured and fitted. The cab/chassis units are now available. The M4 has a 160 horsepower (119kW) Cummins engine offering a high clearance of 1,400mm and a 6.5 tonne carrying capacity, as well as an optional four-wheel drive that can be disengaged at the flick of a switch. The M8 has an 817mm clearance with a 3m track and four wheel drive, alongside a 260hp (194kW) Cummins six-cylinder engine with an Allison 3000 series six-speed automatic transmission with electronic push button selector. Marketed as a multi-purpose tractor, the Atrac M series models were built primarily as a platform to mount fertiliser spreader bodies, Goldacres says – though it adds that the possibilities are endless. Nonetheless, customers and dealers wanting to adapt the

tractors for spreading will need to arrange a spreader body or suitable attachment to be fitted from a third party. To assist with this, Goldacres says it has formed a good relationship with Ballarat-based Southern Spreaders, which can tailor its installations to suit individual customers’ requirements.

Central control panel

Eight years ago I bought a brand-new Croplands Pinto 3000 boom sprayer from my local Croplands dealer, Windmill Ag (it has since been taken over by John Deere dealer Cervus Equipment) in Hamilton, Victoria. It was destined for use on our 607 hectare sheep and cattle property for weed and pest management, plus I wanted to explore the benefits of applying liquid fertiliser. I had come to the decision that the Pinto 3000 was the right unit for me after searching around a bit and looking at units from the four or five major brands. It held 3,000 litres, had a chemical induction hopper and probe, bottom and top filling options, and four points of filtration. The boom rode on air bag suspension – which has since been upgraded to hydraulic suspension on the new units. It was equipped with hydraulic lift and fold and was plumbed for sectional shut-off. I optioned up to the MT3405 auto-rate controller to maintain precise application rates regardless of speed. All the features that made my earlier-model Pinto 3000 a great sprayer are included on the newest version, along with a few extra modifications, making it one of the best spray units on the market for farmers and small-to-medium contractors. The Pinto 3000 has a height-adjustable hitch so it can be setup to sit perfectly level on any tractor. For the record, my 90

inpointing the most important piece of equipment to own on a farm – other than a tractor, of course – is a difficult task, because everyone you ask will have a different opinion depending on the type of property they operate. But my response will always be a boom spray. It doesn’t matter if it’s trailing, linkage or even self-propelled. If you have one, controlling weeds and pests in a quick and effective manner will boost production enormously. If you don’t, then waiting days or even weeks for a contractor to arrive can often result in serious losses. The spray unit can also be a useful tool in the application of liquid fertilisers.

horsepower (67kW) John Deere 6220 pulled it easily. The tractor requires two sets of remotes, a power take-off (PTO) and a power source to operate the electrics.

UNCHANGED FEATURES The pump on the new version of the Pinto 3000 is still the same as I had on mine. It’s an A&R positive displacement, oil-bath diaphragm pump with chemical-resistant diaphragms. The AR160 delivers 160L/min with a maximum pressure of 2,000kPa (284psi). A Series 4 PTO drive is standard. Checking the glass oil reservoir and running some fresh water through the pump at the end of each use will ensure you get years of trouble-free operation out of it.

FILTRATION An 18-mesh basket filter prevents larger contaminants getting into the tank when filling through the top, but in all honesty I very rarely used it. I always thought that climbing onto a spray rig covered in chemicals was not the smartest thing to do, so the only time I journeyed up the side to open the top lid was to see if the tank had been properly rinsed out. I always filled the tank through the bottom fill point and mixed the chemical in through the induction hopper. A 50-mesh suction filter, 80-mesh pressure line filter and 100-mesh nozzle filter collect the majority of the smaller contaminants in the water to prevent nozzle blockages. It goes without saying that regular cleaning of all of the filters is highly recommended.

TANK Back when I made my purchase, there were two tank sizes available: either 2,000 or 3,000 litres. Today, the two options in the Pinto range are 3,000 or 4,000 litres. I went with the 3,000-litre version because I felt 2,000-litre just wasn’t quite enough. The bigger tank allowed me to apply higher volumes per hectare without having to be continually filling up.

Made from polyethylene, the tank has a quick-release hinged lid, filling strainer, top/bottom fill, hydraulic venturi agitation, antivortex suction, tank drain outlet and calibrated volume gauge. The 3,000-litre tank was an ideal size because it allowed me to complete a 30-hectare paddock at around 100L/ha and with one fill. Contractors are often reluctant to put out high water rates because it slows them down, but it’s a proven fact that many pesticides are only effective when applied with high water rates. Sometimes up to 200L/ha. When you own a spray unit, you are better placed to get the job done right. Doing it right the first time often eliminates the need for follow-up applications.

CHEMICAL HANDLING All your chemicals, either liquid or powder, can be mixed directly into the tank through an integrated suction probe, or through the optional 60-litre chemical induction hopper. I never actually used the probe, but did use the induction hopper every time, meaning I never had to scramble up the side of the spray unit with heavy drums to pour in the top. With a flick of a lever, the hopper comes down to about waist height and chemicals can be easily poured in. With the pump running, the chemical is transported into the tank by opening a tap at the bottom of the hopper. Rinse nozzles clean and flush the remaining chemicals out of the hopper and into the spray tank.

AUTOMATIC RATE CONTROL Having the luxury of the optional automatic rate control unit made the job of spraying an absolute breeze. I could drive to the conditions and, regardless of how much I altered my speed, the MT 3405 ensured the application rate remained exactly what I had set it at. Most electronic devices can take a bit of getting used to, especially for the more mature farmer, but that is not the case with the MT 3405. Its functions are clearly labelled.

4 desired rate, all you have to do is turn it on and drive. It features two large, easy-to-read liquid crystal displays and a lighted panel for night use. The right-hand display always shows the application rate and the left-hand display shows data relating to the litres used, the litres applied per minute, the litres remaining in the tank, and the distance travelled. It also keeps a record of the area covered in acres or hectares, as well as current speed. It has an on/off switch allocated to each boom section and pressure adjustment.

NOT AN OPTION

2. The Bestway double-sided foam marker is a cheaper alternative to a GPS guidance system or just a handy backup if you lose satellite connection 3. A large 60-litre Chem-e-flush hopper swings down to waist height for ease of chemical handling 4. The AR160 PTO-driven diaphragm pump is shown mounted to the height-adjustable drawbar. A swivel eye hitch minimises stress on the drawbar on uneven ground

Some optional extras can be left off to save a few dollars, but I found the double-sided 50-litre foam marker a handy asset on numerous occasions. There were times for various reasons that I lost the use of my GPS mapping device, but the Bestway foam marker allowed me to continue spraying. And definitely consider adding the polyethylene mudguards and mudflaps. Even in the muddiest conditions in the middle of winter, my Pinto stayed nice and clean. There’s nothing worse than having to scrape off a thick layer of mud to use the functions or do a bit of maintenance. I mentioned before that I optioned up to the MT 3405 control unit and never regretted it.

EYE SPY Other machines on the market have gone with the trend of using plastic panelling to create a shell that fully encloses all the componentry of the spray rig. It looks great but serves no practical purpose. Croplands put no panelling or covers on the Pinto to hide its network of plumbing and wiring. Some might say it looks a bit old school or lacking style, but its nakedness allowed me to be able to see exactly how it worked. Seeing is understanding. It has long been said that there are two types of agricultural operators: competent ones and steerers. Steerers are fine under normal conditions but are as good as useless when something goes wrong.

BOOM At the time, I opted for a 16m hydraulic lift and fold boom with very effective airbag suspension. It travelled over uneven ground exceptionally well. In fact, the faster I drove, the better it performed. Like my older version, the new 16m, 18m, 21m and 24m-wide self-levelling hydraulic fold booms are epoxy powder coated to help protect them against corrosion. The air bag suspension has been replaced with hydraulic accumulator boom suspension and, instead of using a single ram for lifting the boom, it has hydraulic parallelogram boom lift. It’s fitted with adjustable boom breakaways, is divided into three sections for sectional shut-off, and comes fitted with nondrip quick-release nozzle bodies with drift-reducing AirMix airinduction nozzles. Though the air bag system was very effective, this new style takes the performance and ride of the new boom to a whole new level.

EVEN BETTER

Based on years of personal experience, when you have your own Pinto in the stable, you can get the job done on time

other hand, knows exactly how the machine works and can get the best out of it and keep it functioning when things invariably go wrong. To understand how it operates, you first need to be able to see how it operates. This leads me back to why I liked the Pinto’s styling in the first place. It was easy to see if flow was coming from the main tank or rinse tank, and how to divert that flow to the induction hopper for mixing in chemicals. In fact, if every identifying sticker fell off, which they eventually do, most operators could still work out how to use all the functions. Leaking hoses and connections have nowhere to hide, so they can be spotted and repaired early before they become a serious problem. Of course, price had to be considered as well. To my delight, after ticking all the boxes of what I was looking for in a sprayer, it came in considerably cheaper than the opposition. I covered thousands of hectares every year for five years and never experienced any problems, never had a breakdown, and never once regretted my choice of boom spray

The first piece of machinery I will buy, after I get a tractor, will definitely be a trailing boom spray.

At the time, I was given the choice of having either tandem Simplicity-style axles with independent suspension and 15-inch (38cm) Landcruiser-style wheels or large tractor-type 18.4 x 30 single wheels. I went for the latter, believing they would handle uneven ground and wet conditions better than the smaller option, and lift the chassis higher for better ground clearance. I remember having to slosh through deep mud in a crop sown on raised beds, thinking if not for the larger wheel package, I would have sunk the sprayer up to its belly and probably bogged the tractor as well. The 30-inch (76cm) wheels are fitted to a heavy-duty axle matched to the sprayer capacity to provide easy towing and a smoother ride. New models have gone a step further with the option of 11.2 x 42 wheels for even higher clearance.

My Croplands Pinto 3000 boom sprayer was great to use, but the taps and valves for tank filling, the suction and the chemical induction hopper were not that well placed. The new unit uses a central control unit where all controls and filters for filling, flushing, chemical induction and hand washing are mounted on a central control panel. Everything is clearly marked for simple and quick operation. The 200-litre flushing tank on my Pinto always seemed to hold enough fresh water to properly rinse out the tank and boom at the end of the day, but the new one has upsized to a 275-litre flush tank, which will allow for a much more thorough rinse. Unlike the one on mine, which was just a plastic drum strapped to the frame in front of the main tank, this new one is moulded to fit snugly and very unobtrusively into the front of the spray tank. It also serves as a handy reserve in case you run out of mixture with only a few hectares to go – you can pump the water from the flush tank into the main tank, add a bit more chemical, and finish off the job. The flushing tank provides better boom hygiene. Rinsing can be done in the field as soon as the job is done.

THE BOTTOM LINE If you haven’t worked out my opinion yet, I loved the Pinto 3000. So much so that spraying became my favourite job on the farm, because I knew every time I used it I was improving the productivity of the farm and could get the job done on time and without a hitch. For the majority of the time, with only a few exceptions, I used to spray at about 15km/h, which equated to about 24 hectares or 60 acres per hour. If I ever go back to farming full-time, the first piece of machinery I will buy, after I get a tractor, will definitely be a trailing boom spray, and without a doubt it will be a new Croplands Pinto 3000. If I may make just one suggestion, I would like to see a hazard light and a couple of rear lights installed, and maybe even a work light over the central control station to help with operation and safety at night and on the road. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that I always wished I had added the electric fence line kit. It takes the risk out of damaging the boom on the fence on the first lap.

The use of this driveline also makes it possible to spray at a very low 1,700rpm.

allarat-based spray equipment manufacturer Goldacres has developed a flexible range of self-propelled units to cater for holdings both big and small. The latest cabs off the Goldacres rank are the G3 and G4 machines. As you may have guessed, the G3 is a 3,000-litre unit while the G4 is a 4,000-litre unit. While the larger Crop Cruiser range is making inroads as an efficient, broadacre machine, the smaller machines are targeted at holdings of 5,000 acres (2,023ha) or less. The G series is also priced to compete with the purchase cost of a spray dedicated tractor and trailing spray unit. While it’s fair to say many farmers will most likely have an old 150hp (110.3kW) or less tractor somewhere, the reality is most of us get sick of the taste of Aerostart on a cold morning as we try to breathe some life into an old banger.

SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY The G series machines continue with the Goldacres philosophy of a simple mechanical driveline. Power is provided by a 165hp (121.4kW) Cummins QSB engine and is transmitted to the drive wheels via an Allison 2500 series automatic transmission. Also in keeping with the rest of the Goldacres range the power from the tranny gets to the ground through the company’s mechanical chain-driven wheel units. These units effectively become a drive leg forming a mechanical connection between the JCB diff and the drive wheels themselves. The sprockets run a 1:1 ratio to make, meaning that what happens at the top happens at the same speed as what happens down the bottom. This differs markedly from competing machines using hydrostatic transmission and hydraulic wheel motors for propulsion. The reasoning behind this type of mechanical propulsion is to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce weight. Goldacres also claims a mechanical drive is much cheaper and easier to maintain over the long term. It becomes a total cost of ownership proposition.

HIGH SPEED-LOW REVS The use of this driveline also makes it possible to spray at a very low 1,700rpm, again reinforcing the Goldacres fuel economy position. While the Allison auto transmission does use a torque converter to get the machine moving, like many autos used these days it mechanically locks up once out of first gear, meaning there’s no driveline power loss through the torque converter while working. Fuel economy figures from Goldacres after field testing has seen these machines return fuel usage of between 7 and 9L/h. Another factor at play would be the light tare weight of the machine; the base model G3 equipped with a 24m Delta Plus boom tips the scales with a dry weight of under 8,000kg, while the G4 flagship equipped with a 36m Tritech comes in under 9,500kg. This also gives the green machine an enviable power-to- weight ratio and conspires to deliver a very delicate footprint indeed.

CLOSER SQUIZ Goldacres launched the range with a dealer drive day near the company’s Ballarat headquarters and it proves a good opportunity for me to have a closer squiz at the new units. At first blush the new G machines don’t appear to be that much smaller than the towering flagship Cropcuiser. But a closer look does reveal the more diminutive size of the new units. The cost of the base G3 machines comes in at around $270,000 depending on specifications, while the higher-spec G4 will set you back in the vicinity of $340,000 again depending on specs. (Ed’s Note: 2014 prices.) The G series use disc brakes to bring things to a stop; these are mounted inboard on the drive axle of the G3 while the 4 gets disc stoppers all round. Wheel track width can be manually adjustable from 2m to 3m, or a range of fixed width options can be specced.

ITALIAN STYLE The G series uses cabs sourced from Italian manufacturer Turino and like larger machines in the Goldacres stable feature climate

control, a Bluetooth stereo and a chilled drinks compartment. I climb aboard one of the base G3 machines for a spin with Goldacres general manager, Roger Richards, who shows me around the sprayer before handing over the wheel. Getting to the cab is much the same as the larger machines with access via a pneumatic flip-down stair case triggered by applying the park brake. Getting in through the rear-hinged door has me involuntarily sucking in my gut but hey, at least I didn’t whack my head on the way through. As may be apparent from what I’ve already said, conceptually the G series carries over much from the larger Cropcruiser range. The console housing transmission and spray control units are mounted to the air-suspended seat meaning both ride the dips and bumps in conjunction with each other. The steering column is adjustable to help get comfy and there’s very little else other than glass between the operator and the outside world. The view around the entire machine from the cockpit is almost panoramic. We have around 1,000 litres of water on board to give a more realistic feel out in the test paddock. After selecting D for ‘go’ on the transmission selector, the little G3 takes off like a startled weaner. It is clear very quickly the G series in this guise is anything but under-powered; the transmission also has an overdrive lockout, which keeps the machine in the lower four gears while working. At 1,700rpm the G3 is running at a steady spray speed of around 23km/h. Hitting the cruise button is simply a matter of using the conveniently placed rocker switches on the console. Transport speed in overdrive is limited to 50km/h.

LOOKING AROUND The new cab does provide an excellent view right around the machine making it easier to keep track of the boom ends and any pesky obstacles. The narrow and relatively short snout of the G3 also helps you keep an eye on whatever lumps and bumps may be coming your way while working.

Noise levels are acceptable but there is a certain rawness about the driveline sound-wise. The cab could be a little better insulated. The saving grace in this department is the low operating rpm of the driveline which keeps the Cummins-Allison combo rotating at a comfortable noise level. Raven is standard spray control fitment in Goldacres machines though others can be used if a customer has another preference. The G3 gets the basic SCS450 as standard with an option of the SCS4400. The Raven interface itself is a good one and refreshing in its simplicity. The G4 gets Raven’s SCS4400 as standard equipment and this unit is easily equipped with 3TS and Rapidfire systems. It’s also Autoboom-ready to keep the things that need to be off the ground, off the ground.

V isibility from the cab is excellent and it’s quite a comfy environment

CUTTING LAPS With the 24m boom outstretched I cruise the paddock at 1,700rpm describing lazy laps and getting a feel for the machine. The G series uses three-way boom suspension to deal with the ups and downs as well as the pitch and yaw of the boom while working hard. The cab itself is rubber block-mounted while the chassis is air-suspended in an effort to isolate the driver from any jarring shocks the terrain might throw their way. But here you notice the effect a smaller lighter machine has on ride. The smaller wheelbase means it can be a little choppy across a paddock. The machine I was driving has a fixed wheel track of 2m, which gives it a bit of lateral chop as well. Much of this I suspect, though, is just the nature of a machine of this size, or I could just be a delicate little petal. There’s a rugged simplicity to the Goldacres line-up that makes it an attractive proposition. The utilisation of quite a bullet-proof driveline which can be repaired or serviced virtually anywhere is an added bonus. Throw into this the sum of the total cost of ownership savings being touted by the company and it’s definitely worth a closer look.

e put the Case IH Patriot through its paces at a secret location in Victoria’s west. This unit, purchased from O’Connors Horsham, offers an 8.7-litre six-cylinder Case IH FPT engine boasting 335 horsepower (250kW), which boosts to 374hp (279kW), and a top speed of 48km/h. The engine rumble when standing outside of the cabin is quite considerable, but the perks of its modern surveyor cab (which we’ll touch on later) virtually remove all engine noise, while the added ponies make mincemeat of the hills. The Patriot is also hauling a 6,000-litre tank and a 36m boom with a 380/90R46 Michelin tyre offering, and three-metre wheel spacings that can be hydraulically adjusted on the move to four metres for stability on the hills. Nozzle spacings are 50.8cm, while the boom adjustment height ranges between 61–213cm with auto boom ground contour following and 36-section control.

TRANSMISSION The Patriot features a modern hydrostatic transmission that tends to be seen in most self-propelled sprayers, combine and forage harvesters. Simply push forward on the hydrostatic control lever to move forward and pull that lever back and the Patriot will slow down and come to a halt. While extremely easy to use, braking does feel unnatural compared with other models and gauging the feel of how fast it will slow down or speed up takes time to get used to. Tugging back on the hydrostatic control lever with a dab of brakes is the best option to slow down the Patriot, however this does tend to lead to an uncomfortable, bunny-hopping stop.

IN THE CAB It’s hard to turn down the large spacious surveyor cab of the Patriot. You could take or leave the red interior, but that leather heated seat is something else. Ergonomically designed, with all controls and instruments positioned conveniently to the operator’s right-hand side, the Patriot 4430’s cab is a step above. While pretty much every manufacturer we can think of has their control panel within a right hand’s reach, in the Patriot it certainly doesn’t feel as though Case has just slapped a handful of buttons or switches on a small armrest. The 40-degree right-hand swivel seat gives the operator a 180-degree full field of vision, while the Patriot 4430’s buddy seat

can be folded to provide a convenient workstation with cup holders. A pressurised cab to keep the inside air fresh from nasty chemicals is a big plus; and automatic temperature control and sunshades to keep one cool and comfortable, and an adjustable air-ride seat are modern luxuries many farmers wouldn’t even have in their car. But certainly for all-day work, you’d happily take them.

TECHNOLOGY Technology has come a long way over the years – the inclusion of GPS, intelligent on-board software and modern engines have changed the farming landscape and it’s becoming more advanced by the day. There is plenty of built-in tech in the Patriot. The AFS Pro 700 monitor puts total control at the user’s fingertips. The single-screen display allows operators to monitor and control guidance functions and application rates as well as track ground speed, acres covered and other variables. The beauty of the AFS Pro is the number of machine functions for one screen rather than the entire right-hand window being cluttered with control monitors. A downfall, however, is that it takes about 40 seconds to boot up, slowing down the process of putting the booms out etcetera. And secondly, it does require multiple menus and sub menus to get through the information. The convenience of the one screen does trump these gripes, however. For farmers who prefer a different monitor system, Case does offer the Viper 4+ system from Raven Precision. The optional Viper 4+ system provides total application control all on a 12-inch (31cm) screen. Meanwhile, sprayer control switches are ergonomically placed and attached directly to the operator’s seat. Autoguidance is easily engaged from the multi-control handle and will engage from well over a metre shy of the A-B line.

THE BOTTOM LINE If we’re honest, we always knew that the new Case IH Patriot 4430, with its big 8.7L FPT engine and its wonderfully laid out cab, would be hard to beat. A machine like the Patriot 4430 doesn’t take any less skill to operate, but it excels where it matters most: comfort, efficiency and output.

born to fly With a wingspan of approximately 3m the mighty Condor is one of the largest birds on earth. Tom Dickson travelled to Western Australia in 2014 to find the Agrifac selfpropelled sprayer that bears its name Pluses StabiloPlus chassis Comfort and ride GreenFlowPlus spray circulation Incredible vision EcoTronicPlus control monitor Front cab/rear boom configuration Auto greasing

Minuses Steering response

The amount of unused spray left sitting in hoses along the boom is kept to an absolute minimum.

’ve tracked down a Condor WideTrackPlus in the southern grain belt of Western Australia, about an hour and a half north of Albany. The WideTrackPlus has a 5,000-litre poly tank, 36m J-boom fitted with Green Flow Plus spray delivery technology. It’s powered by a 286hp (213kW) six-cylinder Iveco diesel engine and rides on the unique and original Agrifac chassis called the StabiloPlus chassis. The company began as the maker of a simple knapsack potato sprayer in 1939, then progressed to basic linkage sprayers in 1948. In 1973, production line manufacturing of linkage and trailed sprayers began but the real leap came in 1986, with the introduction of Agrifac’s trademark StabiloPlus chassis. The chassis is still used in all the Condor range and now includes air suspension and stepless track width adjustment to fit into a variety of controlled-traffic tram track farm practices. Keep in mind tyre selection can create variations in track width. I’ve been told the StabiloPlus chassis is the most important of the Condor’s features and is the number one contributing factor to its versatility in track widths. It also maximises driver comfort and gentle boom ride. I head underneath the machine first, to find out what is so special about the trademark chassis. My first impression is how easy it is to get under, which is due to ground clearance height on the WideTrackPlus of 125cm. I’m expecting to find a complicated structure, but am pleasantly surprised at how basic and simple it is to see how everything works. It’s a walking beam type set-up. Each side beam pivots in the centre and has air bag suspension at either end where the wheels attach. The walking beam distributes the effects of bumps and undulations between the front and back wheels which in turn halves the effect on the machine. Each side beam slides in and

out to allow track widths between 225cm and 300cm, or in this case 235cm and 315cm as it’s running larger 480/80 R46 Michelin tyres. The track width transformation takes only seconds to achieve while moving at slow speed and is done from within the cab via the EcoTronic touchscreen.

SKY DECK VIEW Time to jump in and find out what it’s like to drive and if this StabiloPlus chassis really does provide a comfy ride. Due to time constraints the sprayer has already been set up ready for work by Agrifac Western Australia territory manager Mark Slater– I don’t want to get too swamped with info on how to program the computer and prefer to concentrate more on its drivability and comfort. There is nothing to fault regarding the cabin space. It has a comfy suspension seat with all the controls mounted on the armrest but this is virtually typical of all modern machinery. The vision, on the other hand, is exceptional. The cabin is mounted out the front of the chassis so there is nothing forward or to the side to obstruct my view, giving me the sensation I’m actually suspended in mid-air out the front of the machine. From here I can see virtually straight to the ground and all around. The tank, pumps and motor are behind the cab and the boom is at the rear. This configuration makes the most sense to me because it provides unobstructed vision, reduces noise levels from the engine and minimises spray mist over the cabin and windows. For the life of me I can’t see the sense in front mounted booms. With all the windows and mirrors I’m getting a great view of the boom and for those hard to see areas there are up to three onboard cameras sending images to an in-cab monitor. A nifty feature is the folding steps. By pressing a button on the

The StabiloPlus chassis slides in and out on the centre beam for stepless track widths between 225cm and 320cm 3. Hidden away under the side cover is the stainless steel induction hopper with drum rinse and fresh water spray gun 4. The J-Boom with GreenFlowPlus has only one delivery line with a return line back to the tank providing continual spray mix circulation 5. Air bag suspension on all four corners of the StabiloPlus chassis;

back of the handgrip controller the steps fold out of the way level with the chassis. Climate control and a modern surround sound system keep the driver as comfortable as possible and underneath the passenger seat is a heating and cooling food storage compartment.

BOOSTING THE REVS There is nothing more stressful then having to go through a heap of complex steps just to be able to get moving so I’m pleased to discover it doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to get the Condor working. In fact, quite the opposite. A turn of the key fires the 6.7-litre diesel into life then with guidance from Slater I boost engine speed up to 1,400 revs. Slater says under normal conditions this is the optimum revs to generate enough power to run the hydrostatic transmission while maximising fuel efficiency. “Fuel economy rates as low as 12 to 14 litres can be achieved at this engine speed,” he tells me. The Condor carries 270 litres of fuel, which means it could do a few long days spraying before refuel is required. We have set cruise control to 27km/h but it can be anywhere between 0km/h and 35km/h. To get the show on the road I move the joystick controller sideways out of neutral then push forward. It’s that simple. If I push it all the way forward we achieve gentle acceleration up to the pre-set cruise control speed. At 27km/h we seemed to just float along and I really don’t feel like I’m travelling that fast. The steering takes a little bit of getting used to and I expect that’s because I’m not used to driving a vehicle with hydrostatic steering. There seems to be a bit of a lag between turning the wheel and response from the steering which results in a bit of oversteering while getting used to it. Engaging reverse is similar to forward except I move the joystick backwards.

PERFECT BALANCE Now I’m confident about the simple art of driving, the time seems right to have a crack at spraying as well. A second smaller joystick takes care of all the boom folding operations. Opening the 36m boom, which is divided into three sections either side plus a rigid middle section, is a three step process. The boom has a very gentle transition to the open position then it’s just a matter of lowering it to the pre-set operating height. Mounted at the end of each boom is a sonic sensor that maintains precise working height at all times. It can be programmed to keep equal distance from the ground or from the top of the crop. I’m cruising along at 27km/h and the boom is riding beautifully. Even while spraying around hills the boom seems to react instantly to the sensors signals and maintains perfect height. At 27km/h the 36m boom can spray about 97 hectares per hour, making fuel usage costs about 20 cents per hectare. Spraying solution is delivered from the tank to the nozzles by a system called GreenFlowPlus. This basically means chemical is supplied accurately with air assistance through the shortest amount of pipe. It has only one delivery line that flows as a continual loop running the full length of the boom then back to the tank. As the tank fill process begins, the pump begins circulating the contents of the tank throughout the whole system, ensuring mixed spray is at each nozzle at the start of the job. By eliminating all of the sectional delivery hoses the amount of unused spray left sitting in hoses along the boom is kept to an absolute minimum. There is no sectional shut off but each individual nozzle has an airline, HTA or HighTechAir that can cease flow through individual nozzles and also adjust droplet size through the

Over many years I’ve realised I’m the type of operator who likes to see how machinery is working and am not a fan of computers and on-board monitors in farm machinery. However, I’m feeling very comfortable using the EcoTronicPlus display system on the Condor. I forgot to mention before the only requirement to start spraying is starting the pump, activating the air and turning on the spray. That’s three steps and each step is clearly marked on the EcoTronicPlus monitor with appropriate symbols. The major feature on the display is a clear diagram of the spray rig and all of its spray lines and tanks. At a glance I can see exactly how much spray mix is in the main tank and the amount of water in the 450-litre fresh water rinse tank. I can also see a diagram of where the spray mix is flowing through pipes and shut off valves. Each time I touch a valve symbol on the touchscreen it opens or shuts that valve. From within the cab I can direct flow anywhere from the main tank to the tips of the boom including the rinse cycle and self-filling apparatus. Around the outside of the EcoTronicPlus screen is other valuable info relating to engine status, spray rates and pressures. It’s one of the most intuitive and easy to follow screens I’ve operated. Today we are using a Trimble system as a second monitor for guidance because that’s the system this property had been using previously. Slater does suggest running a second EcoTronicPlus monitor for guidance is probably more compatible.

HOME TIME I have a bit of a laugh on final strip off spraying as we head back to the shed. You see, someone accidently bumped off the automatic boom height sensors so there is now nothing to prevent the boom bottoming out on uneven ground. I realise something is wrong and stop at about the same time as the tips of the boom bury themselves in the crop and the brake lights illuminate on Slater’s vehicle. For a moment I suspect he thinks I am about to write off the boom. It’s okay, no damage is done and two lessons are learned. In particular, don’t spray unless all of the electrics are on. Because of the great vision from the driver’s seat the operator can see if something is not functioning properly. At the end of the run I quickly fold up the boom and prepare for a quick dash up the road to see how it performs under speed. I flick it into two-wheel steering, a required step to switch to road speed. Imagine the mess you could get in trying to keep it on the road, at 50km/h, with four-wheel steering still on. As I push the hand control lever fully forward we gently accelerate to the Condor’s maximum speed of 50km/h and it handles beautifully. I actually feel more in control of the hydrostatic steering at high speed than I do in the paddock.

FLYING HIGH Overall, I’d say great chassis design, boom ride, comfort, vision, simplicity and amazing fuel economy. In addition it has a terrific light package, mirrors and electronic visual aids and perhaps the only negative is it takes me a little while to adjust to the hydrostatic steering, but on the whole a great machine. The Condor Endurance may be a better option for all the broadacre cropping guys. The Endurance has an 8,000-litre tank and more options regarding track widths and accessories. As I watch the WideTrackPlus gracefully spread its boom I can’t help comparing it to the flying Condor and can imagine this one taking off in Australia.

don’t say it, spray it Hardi had just launched the French manufactured Saritor 2 sprayer with bigger, lighter aluminium booms in 2014. Matt Wood headed to South Australia to check it out

ardi’s newly released Saritor 2 5500 is a serious machine. It is a bigger, lighter version of the sprayer from the European manufacturer and sports some interesting features. It doesn’t look that special on paper. Power is provided by an unremarkable yet tried and true 275hp (202.8kW) 6.7-litre Cummins QSB turbo diesel engine and like many of its competitors the sprayer uses hydrostatic drive to get power to the ground. But on closer inspection the big red French-built sprayer does have some interesting things going on. For example, the Pommier TR5 aluminium boom. The lightweight boom is available in widths from 36m to 42.5m although Hardi also confirms a whopping 48m example is in the field at the moment. The use of the lightweight boom leads Hardi to claim a 14.5-tonne tare weight for the sprayer, which isn’t too shabby at all.

Saritor OnRate; Flow: 680l/m. Pressure: Up to 11 bar

The wheel track of the Saritor can be hydraulically varied from 3m to 4m or anywhere in between. This makes matching the wheel track to those of other machines that have been working in the paddock easy; it also allows the track to be varied to avoid compaction over the life of crop. It maintains crop clearance of 1.45m. The sprayer also uses a twin 1,100cc pump Sauer-Danfoss hydrostatic system to both drive and steer the machine, however, the system isn’t rpm dependant. The idea being you can run at lower rpm while still maintaining optimum hydraulic pressure and save some dinosaur juice along the way. Hardi claims engine rpm of around 2,000 to 2,100rpm while spraying. For those long drives between paddocks the Saritor will boogie along at up to 55km/h with the boom safely tucked away. But, sitting between that lightweight Pommier TR5 boom and the tractor unit is an interesting bit of kit, the AutoTerrain centre. The boom itself sits on a wide paralift for stability but has four ultra-sonic sensors (six is optional) mounted along the boom length as well as a pendulum-type sensor that’s constantly making adjustments via computer-controlled electro hydraulics to the boom level, while the machine is in motion at up to 10 times per second. In short, the AutoTerrain works to keep the boom from

smacking the ground, and given undulating nature of some of our agricultural areas and the ever increasing size of spray booms, this is a handy feature indeed. Yaw dampening is handled by plunge cylinders mounted in the end of the fold cylinders with centrally mounted nitrogen accumulators. This means each boom wing can move backwards and forwards independent of the other when braking or turning.

FILL ’ER UP Of course, before you hit the paddocks with this machine you have to fill it. The low-profile 5,500-litre main tank is a noticeable part of the Saritor but it’s also equipped with a 600-litre rinse tank as well. A fast-fill hose nozzle drops from the underside of the machine, which is a nice touch to stop hoses kinking; there’s also the option of a banjo fast-fill pump. But the bit that caught my eye was the front-mounted fill point which would come in very handy when self-filling out of dams. This means you just nose up to the water rather than manoeuvring the machine sideways on uneven ground. The work zone is accessed by lifting a strut-mounted side cover. It also doubles as a veranda and provides some protection from the elements while filling and mixing chemicals. All functions are labelled with easy-to-read symbols making it easy to know exactly which button you’re pressing or lever you’re pulling. For mixing dry chemical, there’s also a swingdown turbo filler to stop things from getting too frothy and a spray gun connected to the rinse tank is handy for a wash down. Flushing the system can be done from either the cab or at ground level.

UNDER PRESSURE Once all fluids are in place something has to move them and that’s where the OnRate centrifugal pump comes into play. The pump, which can run dry without doing itself an injury, puts out 11 bar of pressure, and is capable of running 6,80L/m through its curly innards, the Mazzotti hydraulic motor puts out up to 275 bar. It’s a pressure-based system and the idea is OnRate is capable of maintaining consistently high pressure across the pump system and is able to respond instantaneously to changes in

spray rate. In fact, Hardi claims a response time of two seconds or less. The system is charged and maintains pressure regardless of speed by using a variable hydraulic valve. You can also opt for a closed loop system with auto prime as well, to save spraying and flushing needlessly. Most of this seems purely academic unless you get to climb behind the wheel, and as with most self-propelled sprayers this involves climbing a set of flip-down stairs. Once at cab level a nice wide platform leads to the cab door. Like many of these machines, the Saritor uses a third-party cab, in this case from New Holland. You have to walk past the door before opening it, and I can’t help but think a rear-hinged door would make cab entry a tad easier. But once inside the cab its strong points become apparent, visibility is excellent and the cab layout is simple and uncluttered.

COOL INSIDE The steering wheel and column are the only real dominant features forward of the driver’s seat. Controls for all major functions are located on a side-mounted console, including a paddle control for forward and backward drive. Boom wing control, spray on and off, and section control functions are also mounted on the paddle, while sturdy rocker or toggle switches take care of most other functions. What really stands out is the HC 9500 screen mounted beside it. In keeping with the lack of clutter in the cab there are only two screens to look at, the smaller one displays basic drive information. Above this is the HC 9500 spray control unit; this interface is standard with auto section control. The ParaDyme global positioning system (GPS) comes to the party for job mapping and auto steer. But it’s the simple userfriendly interface of the unit that catches my eye. Specifying the whole GPS, the section control package gives you the ability to map and store paddocks for future use as well as the ability to record obstacles. Hardi claims accuracy to within an inch using the ParaDyme GPS and auto steer set-up. All of this combined with the rapid response of the OnRate fluid control system seems to have the goods for constant spray coverage and ease of use.

TIME FOR A SPIN For a hydrostatic machine, noise levels on the Saritor 2 are low and there’s only some of that characteristic hydraulic whine as we trundle along. The paddle control is easy but there’s also a foot pedal that can be used for drive control, as well. The Saritor doesn’t roar in an effort to maintain hydraulic pressure, you get the feeling it’s doing its best to balance engine

rpm and torque with efficiency and performance at all times. To be honest, I couldn’t help wonder if an Aussie sprayer really needs to be constant four-wheel drive. There would be cost and weight benefits to be had from using two wheel motors. Hydrostatic drive gives great low-speed tractability and is an excellent way of transferring torque to the ground, but I reckon you would have to be really trying to get one of these stuck even in two-wheel drive form. However, in the Saritor’s case it’s 4WD only.

1. The Hardi Saritor 2 5500 is available with Pommier aluminium booms at up to 42.5m in width 2. Daily checks are easy done from the access stairs and gantry 3. Hardi’s Trevor Pahl demonstrates the Turbo Filler

SUSPENDED ANIMATION The airbag-suspended body soaks up undulations well and the suspended Gramma seat pitches in to smooth out any bumps. While these things are never meant to handle like sport cars, the sheer size of the machine with wings unfolded to a stretch of more than 40m means they do need to handle with some precision. From my limited spin I can say it did seem to be an easy bit of gear to throw about, although I reckon the small steering wheel could do with a knob to make low-speed manoeuvring easier. As you would expect for an auto steer capable machine, the Sauer-Danfoss steering system is electronically assisted and light. The 20.5m turning circle isn’t exactly tiny, however, Hardi claims this prevents crop damage in the headland while turning. Folding the boom wings in for transport is reasonably easy. It involves some console button pushing to unlock the wings, while the rest is done by the simple joystick-mounted wing controls. Of course, if you do manage to smack a tree, a strainer post, or the boss’ ute, the boom wings have 2.5m break away sections at each end. The Saritor 2 has plenty of lighting options with six spotlights facing forward, six cab-mounted lights and six under the snout. Boom-mounted light packages are also available.

The Saritor 2 is an impressive machine. The use of aluminium booms helps trim some weight and potentially paves the way for longer boom lengths and ditto goes for the AutoTerrain and Paralift set up. In-cab ergonomics and visibility are impressive and the HC 9500 control unit is an approachable interface. Does an Australian sprayer really need to be hydrostatic 4WD? Perhaps not, but in a global market you get what you’re given. In this case, the Sauer-Danfoss system is user friendly and quiet in operation, and Hardi claims it delivers better fuel economy. It may be more sprayer than many people need, but it’s a slick, well put together package with a user-friendly interface that belies the innovation within. The Gods would be pleased.

The similarities between Amazone’s Pantera and the Agrifac self-propelled spray unit are impossible to overlook.

he Australian market initially became familiar with the Amazone name through its range of spreaders – both linkage and trailed – followed by the introduction of cultivation and sowing equipment. The most recent step in Amazone’s evolution has seen the introduction of the Pantera 4502, a 4,500-litre self-propelled spray unit with a hydraulic folding boom, a hydrostatic drive with three steering modes and an automatic suspension management. The machine that we are reviewing here is the Pantera 4502-W, with the W standing for wide stance or wide axle. It has an infinitely variable, stepless, track width adjustment from 2.25m to 3m, which represents about a 25 per cent increase over the standard Pantera 4502 track width of 1.8–2.4m.

PAST RELATIONS The similarities between Amazone’s Pantera and the Agrifac self-propelled spray unit are impossible to overlook. It makes sense, considering both machines were originally manufactured by the same company before Amazone took over production of its own spray rig. The Amazone Pantera has a tank capacity of 4,500 litres and boom widths from 21m to 40m. It has a 218 horsepower (163kW) engine driving two twin piston membrane pumps each delivering 530L/min to ensure that chemical flow to the nozzles is not compromised during times of high demand. The Pantera has a pendulum tandem chassis with individually sprung wheels. The chassis, especially developed for spraying machines, ensures that the motion of the vehicle is not transferred to the spray boom. Four-wheel drive, adjustable track width and height all add to the impressive versatility of this chassis. There are no mechanically driven parts on these spray machines. Only the hydraulic pumps, including the hydrostatic drive pump, are driven by the Tier 3B Deutz six-cylinder diesel engine. Traction control is a standard feature on the complete Pantera line-up, while hydrostatic drive allows infinitely variable speed selection between zero and 50km/h.

IN THE CAB The cabin on the Pantera is the same as that used on the Claas Axion combine harvester and Claas forage harvesters.

It is spacious, noticeably uncluttered with complicated controls, and has great visibility. The highlight features are the AmaPilot multifunction joystick and AmaDrive touchscreen control unit and display monitor.

MY EXPERIENCE It is promoted as having a main spray volume capacity of 4,500 litres but in fact holds 4,800 litres when completely filled. A fresh water rinse tank holds 500 litres as well and is completely independent from the main tank. The boom widths can run anywhere from 21m to 40m. This one has a 36m boom and includes AmaSelect spray nozzle technology with four nozzles per spray body. On a 36m boom there are 72 individually controlled nozzle bodies. The spray system is all electronically controlled so you can select each nozzle from inside the cabin, or you can put it into auto mode and it will automatically select the correct nozzle or combination of nozzles depending on the rate and speed. As mentioned, a Deutz Tier 3B 218hp diesel engine runs the machine’s Linde hydraulic system. It will be music to many potential customers’ ears to hear the words Tier 3B in relation to the engine’s emissions rating.

NO ADBLUE To achieve a Tier 3B rating, the Deutz engine instead uses exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel particulate filter, which eliminates the need to buy, store and refill with AdBlue and saves time and money. Steering can be switched between 4-wheel, 2-wheel and crab at a single touch of a button on the AmaDrive control monitor. For a machine of this size, the Amazone Pantera 4502-W has an exceptional inside turning circle measurement of 4.5m with four-wheel steering engaged. It also has an Auto mode that automatically engages fourwheel steer to tighten up the turning circle on the headlands then switches back to two-wheel steer for spraying. What I found most pleasurable was the way the cabin just floated on what seemed like a cushion of air but is actually the auto-adjusting suspension system that constantly maintains a 50/50 weight distribution over the front and rear wheels. Just by climbing into the cabin, the suspension detected my weight and made the appropriate adjustment to maintain even load sharing.

SPRAYER REVIEWS

SIMPLE AND SAFE The Pantera 4502-W has been kept simple so that any operator can jump in and drive it. All the filling and chemical induction equipment is grouped together and tucked away on the side of the machine under a protective panel. It uses a 3-inch (7.6cm) suction pipe for sucking straight out of a dam, creek or tank, and it can be pressure-filled as well. The chemical induction unit has a good-sized 65-litre hopper that folds down hydraulically at the touch of a button so you don’t get chemicals all over yourself during the filling process. Powdery substances and large amounts of urea are dissolved quickly and safely inside the induction bowl with the aid of the rinse ring and additional nozzle. The drum rinse nozzle safely cleans out all of the remaining chemicals, leaving the empty drums ready for recycling. The Comfort-Pack 2 is a great option to help the operator fill the machine with chemicals and water with absolute precision. The filling amounts can be preselected from inside the cabin on the AmaDrive screen or by using the additional controller with digital readout screen at the outside operator station at the side of the machine. An optional tow hitch is available, which allows an additional 15,000 litres of water to be towed with the machine and greatly adds to its capabilities in isolated areas where water is not so readily available. I think where self-propelled sprayers hold a huge advantage over tractor-pulled trailing units is their much better crop clearance. With a 1.2m ground clearance, the 4502-W causes minimal damage to mature crops when sprayed late in the growing season. There is another model, the 4502-H, which has an extended lift height up to 1.7m. The cabin’s rear window provides really good visibility back to the boom. It has an automatic rear reversing camera, and a second camera pointed down over the front right-hand side

tyre lets you see if your wheels are tracking perfectly in the tram lines of a controlled traffic operation. Top speed out on the road is 50km/h and spraying speed is anywhere between 0.5km/h and 35km/h. It is auto-steer ready, with our review machine using a Topcon system integrated into the Amapad touchscreen controller. It is compatible with a Trimble system as well. The Amapad operator terminal provides GPS based sectional control for precision farming applications and offers the option of automatic steering, which is new to the Pantera. Folding the enormous boom is an absolute breeze. Lifting the boom up and pressing one button is all that is required to fold the boom all the way in; then it’s just a matter of lowering and locking it into the transport position. There are sensors all over the boom to protect it from damage from incorrect folding. It will operate with one side folded in, has boom tilt for getting over obstacles and also features automatic height control. Depending on the nozzle size that is installed into the fourpoint nozzle bodies, the machine is capable of spraying liquid fertiliser at rates of up to 1,000L/ha while still maintaining a spraying speed between 10km/h and 15km/h.

I certainly don’t claim to be an expert on self-propelled sprayers, but I can’t think of a single feature that could be added to the Amazone Pantera 4502-W to make it better. The machine is exceptionally well balanced and comfortable due to the hydraulic pneumatic suspension, it has a great turning circle of 4.5 metres, and it has a responsive yet very smooth acceleration when driving. I am more than comfortable recommending the Amazone Pantera as a first-class unit but only you can work out if it’s a viable and cost-effective alternative in your enterprise. If you don’t have enough work you might still be better off hooking up a trailing or linkage sprayer to your tractor.
