The Knight demount for the JCB Fastrac is designed to optimise the load space of the Fastrac and give the best possible weight distribution.
Sprayers are available for the full range of Fastracs. Most popular are the smaller tractors which are available with four wheel steering and are perhaps better suited to work in standing crops. A special low profile boom transport system is available on these smaller machines.
The stainless steel tank holds in excess of its rated 2000 litres. Capacity can be increased with the optional 1000 litre front tank system. A clean water wash tank is fitted to the rear spray tank and can carry around 200 litres of clean water for use in the sprayers tank cleaning system and with the optional LASER agitation system.
As with all Knight Sprayers, the APS control system simplifies operation of the sprayer controls.
Boom widths start at 12m and increase in stages up to a maximum 24m.
The sprayer can be removed in under 10 minutes and the tractor is then free to perform other duties. All hydraulic services are duplicated at the side of the tractor along with the electrical connections for the sprayer. This greatly simplifies the procedure of mounting and de-mounting the machine.
For maximum carrying capacity, a front tank unit can be fitted to the Fastrac. This unit comes complete with a 4 pin coupling system or can be fitted to the JCB front 3 point linkage. Tanks are available in 800 litre and 1000 litre sizes. Chemical can be added to the front tank via the filling hopper on the rear sprayer. Agitation and transfer are provided by the hydraulically driven front pump unit.
Knight produce an extensive range of sprayers for the Multidrive Tractor. This vehicle has proved particularly popular with people who favour a mechanical transmission over hydrostatic.
Sprayers up to 4000 litre capacity with 36 m booms are available. A compact design with exceptional strength and reliability has proved popular with larger farmers and contractors.
A separate clean water wash tank is mounted compactly onto the top of the chemical tank. This modular design gives two completely separate tanks but still maintains the line of the machine.
A choice of single or multi nozzle units with up to five turrets are available. Alternatively twin spray lines can be fitted
All boom folding functions are hydraulically controlled. This can include just the basic height control and folding system or a combination of sophisticated options including hydraulic outer folding, boom incline and boom levelling.
A protective clothing cabinet is provided for the operator to store contaminated and clean PPE. This same unit houses a clean water supply for personal washing.
As with all Knight Sprayers, the APS control system simplifies operation of the sprayer controls.
As well as conventional application systems the Multidrive sprayer range can be fitted with Twin Fluid or Air Sleeve application equipment.
The combination of AirJet and satellite application control makes this sprayer the ideal Precision Farming tool.
