WEED-IT 7000

The first fully integrated twin-tank, twin-line sprayer.

Croplands’ heavy-duty, hydraulic fold 120ft contour-following booms are designed to take on the most challenging broadacre farming conditions.

Designed to maintain even height above the ground to optimize weed detection, the Croplands WEED-IT 7000 can operated at five different planes to mirror the contours as accurately as possible. Hydraulically steered inner boom wheels and air-ride suspension guarantee a smooth operation at higher speeds, longevity and easy folding and unfolding of booms.

Named after its 7000-litre (1850 US Gal) main tank, it also includes an 800-litre (200 US Gal) flushing tank and 1500-litre (400 US Gal) hot tank, the latter of which holds high-concentration chemicals for spot spraying. This combination enables the opportunity to apply different chemistry in the same pass through separate spray lines, helping in the management of hard-to-kill weeds and inhibiting herbicide resistance.

Croplands’ high-tech ground-following boom is available in two more compact sizes – 4000-litre (1050 US Gal) and 6000-litre (1600 US Gal), providing a fit for every farm size.

dual line plumbing

• Main tank/blanket line is a hydraulically driven Hypro centrifugal pump. This traditional 5 section line can be used both with and without the WEED-IT line. The blanket line only draws chemical from the main tank, but can be shut off when not required. The blanket line has traditional 110° nozzles at 50cm spacings.
• Hot tank/WEED-IT line is a Hypro centrifugal pump with LifeGuard seals. The WEED-IT line targets actively growing weeds and can be used on its own or in conjunction with the blanket line. The WEED-IT line can draw chemical from either tank depending on the application and has 40° nozzles at 25cm spacings.
• Fence line nozzles are fitted to both the blanket line and WEED-IT spot spraying line

controls

VISIO tank level display – a small in cab screen accurately displays the hot tank volume. Easy to use main control panel suitably positioned between both chemical hoppers. Hinged for easy access to plumbing.

in-cab monitor & controller

WEED-IT’s easy to use intelligent display provides constant monitoring of solenoids and sensor operations, with malfunctions or errors reported on screen – including warnings for low pressure, sensor faults and voltage.

The smart design allows for easy fault identifications. Response time is automated to ensure the nozzle hits the target.

Turn compensation is a standard feature.
