Linkage mounted sprayers come with sleek design
The latest Hardi Mega range of linkage mounted sprayers offers a sleek modern design with 1500 or 1800 lire capacities, complemented by Pro Series booms with 15-18 metre working widths.
Danish sprayer supplier Hardi will again join the ranks of sprayer suppliers at Fieldays.
Its sprayers, booms and nozzles were first sold in New Zealand in the early 1980s.
Then in 2011, Hardi aligned its NZ business with a regional base in South Australia. It has 10,000 m2 of manufacturing and distribution facilities in Adelaide.
Its NZ regional managers are Andy Elmslie in the North Island and Ross Dickson in the South Island.
Its Fieldays site will show the NK linkage sprayer and the more sophisticated and larger Master range. The NK is available with tank sizes from 400 to 1000L and boom options from 6m to 12m, making it light and flexible on difficult slopes.
The Master has 1000L to 1800L tank options with booms from 12m to 21m, making it suitable for rolling properties and commercial row crop spraying.
The company also markets a range of mist blowers for vineyard or orchard applications, and trailed and self propelled sprayers for large scale farming and contracting operations.
Hardi will promote its expertise developed during 60 years of R&D in fluid control systems, chemical induction hoppers, manual and hydraulic folding booms, diaphragm pumps and precision ISO-standard nozzles.
Hardi will be at site E24-26 at Fieldays.
