Improve application accuracy with the AB30 Air Boom

For ag service providers and large-scale producers, the AB30 Air Boom is available as an option for the 800R Floater. The AB30 Air Boom builds on the advantages of the 800R chassis with the addition of an 8.5-m3 (300-cu ft) dry box with dual-product capability and a 21.3-m (70-ft) wide boom.

Durability and uptime are extremely important to an ag retailer’s business. With the number of acres these machines need to cover each year and the varying weather conditions that can impact the schedule, increasing uptime is crucial to the profitability and success of the ag retailer. The AB30 Air Boom is designed to maximize uptime through improved performance, reliability, and operator comfort.

Performance

The air boom option allows operators to accurately apply dry fertilizer across a wide 21.3-m (70-ft) swath at speeds up to 48.3 km/h (30 mph), and at maximum rates up to 544.3 kg (1,200 lb) per acre at 16.1 km/h (10 mph). With its 8.5-m3 (300-cu ft) capacity dry box and dual-bin configuration, operators can simultaneously apply up to two products at variable rates to better meet crop nutrient needs with fewer passes over the field. Application accuracy is further improved with half-width section control.

The air distribution system features an efficient design that consistently delivers even air flow from the fan to the booms. The closed-loop speed control allows the fan to run independent of the motor speed, increasing efficiency. This design requires less power for the air system and diverts more engine power to the ground during acceleration and operation.

Reliability

The electrical and hydraulic systems have been designed from the ground up with full integration into the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display for easier control and maintenance. The boom structure and supports have also been strengthened to extend the life of the booms regardless of the terrain.

To improve the reliability of the air distribution system, the fan oil cooler is mounted on the right side of the machine, exposing it to less dust and vibration while making it easier to maintain. A large screen was also added over the fan air intake to block residue and debris from entering the air system.

Operator comfort

The front ladder provides easy access to the machine even when the booms are folded. During tendering, operators can quickly access the top of the dry box from the cab platform. Handrails can then be folded up on both sides of the dry box, allowing the operator to work more efficiently.

The 800R with the AB30 Air Boom improves the revenue potential for ag service providers by increasing machine productivity through greater durability and superior field performance.

Maximize seasonal capabilities with the LS20 Liquid System

Seasonal flexibility is crucial for maximum machine utilization. LS20 Liquid System option maximizes the seasonal capabilities of the 800R. Together with Hagie™ Manufacturing, this liquid system is designed as a complete package with industry-leading advantages. Learn more on the LS20 product page.

Accurately apply low-rate herbicide and high-rate fertilizer with a single machine

During the busy spring season, you need to complete jobs as crops are planted, from applying high-rate fertilizer on unplanted corn fields to low-rate pre-emergent herbicide on soybeans. Dual centrifugal solution pumps with dedicated magnetic flow meters work together to achieve pin-point rate accuracy through the entire flow range between 18.9 and 1457.4 L/min (5 and 385 gpm).

Fast, clean, automated tank filling enabled by PowrSpray™ technology

When the tank is empty, every second counts trying to get back into the field. PowrSpray features independent fill and spray circuits with dedicated pumps to maximize flow. The dedicated self-priming transfer pump can fill the solution tank at over 1135.6 L/min (300 gpm).

This PowrSpray system can:

• Automatically fill to a predefined tank level while automatically adjusting engine speed
• Pull fresh water from the rinse tank to clean the fill system
• Be manually reduced if a slower fill rate is desired
• Pause filling, giving you sufficient time to add ingredients and rinse containers
• Allow for quick and easy operation at the load station for all skill levels

Cover more acres per pass using the widest factory-installed boom

The time-proven 27.4-m (90-ft) sprayer steel boom unlocks reliable productivity for ag service providers. This durable boom features:

• Full-boom breakaway
• Tridirectional boom tip breakaway
• Auto-fold

The standard dual plumbing system features 76.2-cm (30-in.) off-center high-flow nozzle bodies (turrets) and a 152.4-cm (60-in.) on-center cam-lock. When configured for 152.4-cm (60-in.) cam-lock spacing, the effective spray pattern is 29 m (95 ft). The 76.2-cm (30-in.) nozzle body configuration achieves a 27.4-m (90-ft) spray pattern.
