Sprayer Test Drives

The Infinity series comprises two models of 5,000 or 6,000 litre capacity. An all-new chassis means the Infinity can accommodate larger wheels, yet ensures a turning circle of just 7.6 metres, for excellent manoeuvrability on the headlands. Four-wheel steering can be engaged at the touch of a button, with multiple modes to match every operation. These include two different modes that work on all four wheels to provide maximum turn or true tracking. This clever system can be adapted to suit the work in hand, with options including speed-related and spray on/off engagement of the four-wheel system.

The all-new suspension ensures comfortable travel, while those with a wide range of cropping will appreciate a track width that can be adjusted from 72 to 88 inches.  A new hydrostatic transmission offers seamless driving, with traction control as standard, while eco engine management with road and field modes ensures maximum fuel efficiency.

In the cab, key changes include a new armrest that puts all operating functions at the driver’s fingertips. The operator can also have cruise control to ease both field work and long journeys on the road. Further features include the Sands Overhead Screen with full control of filling, lights, machine health check management and hydraulic sliding axles. The high capacity of these new 5,000 and 6,000-litre machines sees a shift to stainless steel tanks, with a larger sump and all pipes plumbed straight into the tank. This ensures all pipework is as short as possible, and because all internal piping is fixed, there are no internal moving parts, save for the six internal cleaning nozzles operating at 8.0 bar pressure.

Externally, the new spraypack features new lighter yet stronger steel booms of up to 40m, with a five-sensor boom levelling system and auto-lowering when folding up. A new powered 40-litre induction hopper that’s part of a new side-mounted filling station features two washing nozzles and an additional hand lance for external cleaning.

HORSCH enters the 3-point crop care market with the mounted sprayer Leeb CS. CS stands for CompactSprayer and the sprayer is compact and manoeuvrable, ideal for smaller fields.

Active boom control is a unique feature of HORSCH in this sector of the market. Other high productivity components like the continuous cleaning system (CCS Pro), the induction tank and other proven features have been taken over from the trailed sprayers.

The 25 cm nozzle layout that by now is widely used is also available for the new Leeb CS. The optimised centre of gravity makes the Leeb CS easy and safe to operate. A newly developed coupling triangle and hydraulic drive of the pumps allows the Leeb CS to be mounted easily and quickly due. All functions are controlled via the HORSCH user interface that customers already know from the Leeb LT and advanced Leeb GS.
