WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

“We save 40–50% on fuel.” “We have greatly reduced our spray drift since changing from Air-shear technology.” “The Quantum Mist is simple to set up and use.” “We are happy with the coverage and adjust the fan speed to match the canopy growth stage.” “We spray 120ha in 24 hours. This took 40 hours with our old sprayer.” “We have reduced soil compaction by only spraying every third row with the tandem axle.” “Our operators love them – the lower noise levels reduce fatigue and improve decision making.”
