Hardi launches GeoSelect for trailers
Australian primary producers now have a highly sophisticated weed targeting technology for their trailed crop sprayersAdelaide-based sprayer manufacturer Hardi Australia has announced its locally developed GeoSelect spot spraying system can now be utilised on trailed sprayers, starting on its popular Commander model and followed by the self-propelled Saritor.
Hardi’s National Sales Manager Zac Harnett says offering GeoSelect on the company’s most popular trailed sprayers will be great news for farmers.
“The Commander is hugely popular with grain producers, pastoralists and vegetable growers, as well as broadacre operators,” he said. “We are very pleased to be able to help all those farmers reduce their herbicide usage and costs by up to 90 per cent in every paddock.”
Unlike many spot spraying systems, GeoSelect adds very little extra hardware and weight to the spray boom, with four GNSS units that continually geolocate the spray nozzles with centimetre accuracy. This means there is virtually no change in boom performance and the system can be easily disabled for blanket spraying of fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
“The current high cost of chemicals and the lasting benefits of putting less herbicide into the environment mean GeoSelect delivers growers a double saving and a huge return on investment,” said Hardi Australia CEO Bill Franklin.
“It means spraying can be done in less time, at less cost and with far less chemical. The accuracy and efficiency of GeoSelect makes the Hardi trailed sprayer range a logical fit for this new technology.”
Commander trailed sprayers come in 6500, 8500 and 10,000-litre main tank capacities, and boom sizes from 30 to 48.5 metres.
