CROPLINER XL PROVIDES NUTTY SOLUTION

Joe Sgambelloni, a chestnut grower from Myrtleford, VIC, was facing a common challenge: how to effectively spray trees that tower up to 13 metres tall. His old air-blast sprayer just wasn’t cutting it.

Our old sprayer was only reaching about 80% of the tree. The Cropliner gets right to the top—10 out of 10.

With 70 acres of chestnuts and a canopy full of fruit at the top, Joe needed a sprayer with serious reach. After a chat with Brendan from McGregor Machinery, he was introduced to the Croplands Territory Manager Brett Kay and the Cropliner XL. A demo sealed the deal.

“It’s just a great unit. Well-built, powerful fan, and it does exactly what we need it to do,” he said.

Joe also praised the customer service from both McGregor Machinery and Croplands, with Brett helping Joe fine-tune the machine with a flow meter and jet adjustments to suit varying spray volumes.

“Brett was fantastic. He came out, brought different jets, adjusted the machine—it was great service.”

With years of experience and a strong relationship with his local dealer, Joe says he wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Croplands to other growers with tall trees.

“If anyone’s after a sprayer for tall trees, I’d highly recommend using something from Croplands. I wouldn’t go past them,” he said.
