Croplands to offer Nelson Hardie air-blast orchard sprayers
Nelson Hardie range of trailed and self-propelled sprayers cater to nut and tall tree cropsSpray equipment expert, Croplands, has announced a partnership with California-based air-blast sprayer manufacturer, Nelson Mfg. Co., Inc., to distribute the latter’s range of high performance trailed and self-propelled Nelson Hardie orchard sprayer units in Australia and New Zealand.
The machines have been designed to spray effectively in densely planted crops (almond and citrus) and mature tall tree crops (macadamias and avocados), Croplands said.
The Nelson Hardie units come standard with a heavy-duty chassis and stainless-steel tanks and offer a wide range of configurations to suit specific needs.
PTO fan driven models fitted with single 34 or 40-inch fans or dual 34-inch fans are available up to 4000-litres. Engine drive models are powered by John Deere diesel engines ranging from 125 to 325hp and feature single 40-inch, dual 34-inch, dual 40-inch or dual 46-inch fans, fitted to the Super 92 air-blast sprayer.
The new SP40 self-propelled sprayer with four-wheel-drive and steer is powered by a 174hp John Deere diesel engine with a single 40-inch fan in tank sizes of 2000L to 4000L.
“Croplands is super excited to partner with another iconic brand to complement our own range, to now offer a complete line of air-blast sprayers to the rapidly expanding Australian nut and tree crop market,” said Croplands General Manager, Sean Mulvaney.
“Both Croplands and Nelson Mfg. Co. Inc., use common componentry and share a dual focus on optimising technology through set-up, calibration and after sales support. We are committed to a seamless transition for current owners and look forward to further embedding the Nelson Hardie range into our local markets.”
Mike Estes, President of Nelson Mfg. Co., Inc., said Croplands was an obvious choice for the company to partner with in Australia given its strong connection to the industry, national footprint and proven track record.
“We are excited to partner with the team to support our full air-blast product range Down Under. Croplands truly values strong customer support, which aligns perfectly with our values.”
