Case IH unveils updated Patriot 50 series sprayer
Comprehensive redesign of popular sprayer line brings extra comfort, extra tech, says Case IHAgricultural equipment manufacturer Case IH has just updated its Patriot 50 series of self-propelled sprayers, with the new line-up boasting a more comfortable, more ergonomic cabin, along with a fresh injection of up-to-the-minute technology.
“It’s an exciting expansion of our self-propelled application equipment line-up with three new models – the Patriot 3250, 4350, and 4450,” said Case IH ANZ Product Manager Patriot Sprayers, Jason Wood.
“This has been a comprehensive re-design of one of our flagship models and the benefits are obvious from the first time you sit in the cab: more comfortable to operate, complete vehicle control, and technology features offered for the first time in the Patriot.”

The Patriot’s AIM Command spray system technology can now be optioned with AIM Command FLEX II, offering six modes for greater accuracy and control across chemical application rates, pressure and droplet size, and individual nozzle on/off control.
Other notable features include:
- The unique MultiControl armrest layout already available in the brand’s Steiger and Magnum tractors
- A quiet, comfortable interior with superior visibility
- A four-bar linkage chassis suspension system
- Technology solutions capable of performing wireless file transfers, sharing guidance lines, creating prescription maps, fleet management, data sharing and product control
- Integrated AutoBoom XRT Automatic Boom Height control
- A new centre section design that minimises boom yaw in challenging conditions
- An AFS Vector Pro receiver, which provides reliable and consistent terrain-compensated position data and helps operators quickly determine guidance lines (also compatible with optional AutoTurn automated headland turning)
- Two customisable displays: the AFS Pro 1200 and the Viper 4+
- Tank capacities of 6057L (4450 model), 4542L (4350), and 3785L (3250)
- Easy maintenance thanks to a centrally located service point
- Increased transport speeds of up to 59.5km/h (Patriot 4350 and 4450)
The new range also now features AFS Connect, with every Patriot 50 series sprayer coming with an AFS Connect-compatible modem and a five-year subscription.
“With AFS Connect, operators can, for example, view and store their application maps from season to season, or track a machine’s location, parameters and progress during jobs to help with planning tasks,” said Mr Wood.
“There are so many options, and opportunities, for every type, and size, of farm business.”
Ultimately, Case IH says the new Patriot 50 series will help customers maximise yield potential and better manage tight application windows.
“We’re confident we’ve achieved that with the 50 series, keeping the features that are tried and tested, like the forward cab/rear engine design that works so well, but then adding and re-designing where necessary to ensure the highest levels of spraying accuracy and efficiency, while offering industry-leading connectivity and remote management capabilities,” said Mr Wood.
