Sprayers: Small But Mighty
September 17, 2008 
DTS10 | Hagie Manufacturing
The Hagie DTS10, equipped with a 205-hp Cummins engine, has the industry’s highest horsepower-to-weight ratio, say company reps. Power is put to the ground using Hagie’s X-Drive hydrostatic system — and the rig rides on an automatically adjusting air-ride suspension. With 73 inches of ground clearance, it can be used late into the season without damaging the crop.
DTS8 | Hagie Manufacturing
The Hagie DTS8 is equipped with an active air-ride suspension system, giving it a smooth ride at field speeds up to 14 mph. Its industry-leading design in ground compaction and high clearance makes it capable of spraying in wet fields and late in the season. The UpFront Booms give clear visibility from tip-to-tip. The 152-hp 5.9 liter Cummins engine generates travel speeds up to 14 mph in four-wheel drive mode — and 20 mph in two-wheel drive.
SPX3185 PATRIOT | Case IH
The Case IH SPX3185 Patriot sprayer is a perfect fit for the small- to medium-sized operation where field accessiblity, maneuverability, and high productivity are a must. It’s light on its feet with a powerful 185-hp engine. With a trailing-link suspension, the SPX3185 provides maximum operator comfort and productivity without compacting or rutting up the field. Add the optional AIM Command spray system for optimal chemical coverage and reduced drift potential. If a smaller machine better suits your needs, check out the 152-hp Case IH SPX3150 Patriot sprayer (pictured here). It shares many of the same features of the SPX3185 in a slightly smaller version.
SPRA-COUPE 4455/4655 | AGCO Corp.
Updated for this season, the Spra-Coupe 4455 and 4655 sprayers feature a quieter cab and a new sleek hood design — for a more consistent look across all series in this product line-up. Also new is added foam insulation around the cab and under the hood, as well as an optional air-ride seat. Both rigs keep the reliable Perkins diesel engines, 400-gallon poly tank, choice of manual or optional Allison automatic transmission, and Raven controllers.
4720 | John Deere
The 4720 has proven air ride suspension that provides optimal operator comfort, ride, and superior boom stability. It features a 225-hp 6.8L engine and an 800-gallon solution tank moving product to 60-foot, 60-foot/80-foot, and 60-foot/90-foot booms. Spray speeds can reach 20 mph, transport speeds up to 30 mph. The 4720 can integrate AMS technologies such as Swath Control Pro, Map-Based Prescriptions, as-applied mapping, field documentation, and GPS guidance.
APACHE AS710 | Equipment Technologies
The AS710 has a tank capacity of 750 gallons and is powered by a 155-hp, Tier II John Deere engine. The unit utilizes an ITL/JCB powershift four-speed torque converted transmission that can do speeds from zero to 28 mph. The rear axle suspension features ET’s patented hydraulic load suspension with compensating anti-sway control. Crop clearance can reach 42 inches, and boom sizes range from 60 to 100 feet.
