Trailed Sprayer An Aussie First At Henty

In an Australian first, the John Deere M900i Trailed Sprayer will be on display at the Hutcheon & Pearce site at Henty Machinery Field Days.

Whether you’re growing cereals or high-end speciality crops, a sprayer that gives you great accuracy, maximises up-time and reduces input costs is a must.

As Hutcheon & Pearce Sales Operations Manager Andrew Watt explains, this is exactly what the M900i Trailed Sprayer is designed to do.

“From the simplicity of manual control to the convenience of integrated technology, you can choose how to use the M900i to boost productivity throughout the crop protection cycle.

“The M900i is plug-and-play with John Deere technology as well as well any ISOBUS screen, so things like rate control and section control come as standard.

“It’s ideal for the mixed farmer who is looking for a good sized boom but isn’t in the market for a self-propelled sprayer. Potentially it would suit someone upgrading from an older Hardi or Goldacres sprayer, and while it can go behind any tractor, it pairs beautifully with John Deere machines.”

When it comes to up-time, the M900 series has been designed based on the same insights as the John Deere R900i platform, using tried and tested components such as tank, boom, frame and axles to meet quality and reliability levels H&P customers expect from a trailed sprayer, and maximising up-time and performance.

“From filling up, to spraying and rinsing, the ergonomic layout of the operator’s station with manual or semi-automatic valves will command the liquid in the right direction. All functions are within arm’s length and all machines come with a multi-functional lever for fast and easy operation.

“They come in multiple tank sizes up to 6000 litres, so in terms of capacity, the M900 is right up there but are not too large to require an upgrade in tractor. This means it can go behind that mixed farmer’s tractor quite nicely and you only need 170-200 horsepower to pull it.”

On display

In what is a coup for the Hutcheon & Pearce Group, the M900i will be shown to Australian farmers for the first time at the Henty Machinery Field Days 17-19 September.

“These are the first two demonstration units to land in Australia and we’re excited for everyone to see them in action. Our sales team are extremely excited because they’ve been asking us to stock these trailed sprayers for years, based on the needs they’ve been seeing.”
