Field sprayers
Bourgault has developed a new line of high-clearance, auto-fold sprayers for 1996.
The lineup features three tank sizes with spraying widths from 22.5-40 metres. The model 1850 has a 1,610 imperial gallon (7,309 litre) main tank and can be fitted with an optional 200-gallon auxiliary tank. The 1450’s two tanks have a capacity of 1,250 (5,675 litres) and 175 gallons (795 litres); the model 950’s two-tank capacity is 833 (3,782) and 125 gallons (586 litres.) All models will accept the auxiliary tank for spot spraying.
The tank and its plumbing are add-ons that does not reduce the capacity of the main tank.
Other features include cable-assisted folding system and caster wheel toe-out lock to assist folding or unfolding in sloping land or rough field conditions; versatility in tight spots as either boom will fold back; adjustable pressure relief bypass valve and air chuck fittings to allow cleaning using compressed air. Sprayers are equipped with Wilger Combo-Jet nozzles. Each sprayer can also be equipped with Bourgault’s Clear-View Air Curtain II to reduce drift.
