Self-Propelled Sprayer: 1990s Style
In ag equipment, Willmar Manufacturing was busy making a line of self-propelled sprayers featuring the Air Ride name. One of these models was the 745, which featured a John Deere engine and 60-foot boom. On the road, the unit could do a brisk 13 miles per hour.
Still Kicking Around
In 2011, CropLife IRON had a chance to visit an ag equipment dealership, Ohio Valley Ag, in Owensboro, KY. At that time, the company was refurbishing a 1995 Willmar 745 sprayer that had 3,149 hours on it.
