The Protector 1600 Mounted Sprayer features a heavy duty contractor level of construction and comes with a three-year warranty. The close coupled frame and narrow profile polyethylene tank ensure weight is kept close to the tractor for enhanced stability. The Protector has latest “Series 3” boom which is the same as fitted to both trailed and self-propelled series. The “Series 3” boom offers widths out to 24m and all boom movements are controlled by electro hydraulics via operators control box. The “Series 3” boom can be folded and operated at half width (e.g 24m boom fold to 12m). Nozzles and stainless steel spray lines are fully protected within the boom structure, and a multi-directional 2m break away tip protects against accidental damage. The boom also has tilt correction and boom lock as standard features and the booms can also be specified with independent variable geometry and independent outer boom fold. They are manufactured using a highly durable “lattice style” construction from 3mm & 5mm thick high tensile steel which is then treated with a protective oven baked powder coat finish. Every moving joint on the boom is secured with stainless steel pins which a tab secured to prevent excess wear, each joint also has a greasing point. The “3D” active suspension system controls boom bounce, incline and yaw providing a very stable platform for the spray nozzles, the bounce suspension remains active when the boom is in its transport position, protecting the boom when travelling over rough farm tracks and roads. All moving hinge points have greasable bearings and bushes for long, trouble free life. It has stainless steel spray lines which are automatically flushed and primed by a re-circulation system. The logical controls can be complimented with the addition of a Delta 80 colour terminal with auto rate control and joystick for boom movement and all spray function control.
