It also features many of the high end options that in the past were only available on the larger units, such as all wheel steer, auto fold, a premium cab, as well as all precision capabilities.”
Featuring a high clearance design and narrow crop package, the new 2016 DTS10 compliments the company’s innovative STS product line through being well suited for application from early spring clear through late season. This 1000 gallon dual tank unit weighs in at a notable 18,500 pounds, while offering one of the best weight splits and centers of gravity on the market for exceptional capability to perform in the most adverse conditions or terrain. Featuring a new 90’ boom, drive and auxiliary hydraulic system, the 2016 DTS10 equips operators with functionalities that sprayers in higher classes offer for maximum profit potential.
The luxurious application-specific cab is the largest in class, while offering the ergonomics and the same amenities as the STS model line to provide the best operator experience possible. The large cab and redesigned boom provide optimal visibility whether in the field or in transport. Maximize efficiency of the new 2016 DTS10 with popular options such as All Wheel Steer, Auto-Fold and a Reversing Fan. Combining these features with the attractive price point, the 2016 DTS10 easily sets a new standard as the most innovative applicator within the mid-sized sprayer market today.
