State-Of-The-Art Hooded Sprayer
"There is absolutely no spray drift or chemical escape at 22 mph with my new sprayer in field tests, so imagine how economical it is to run at the 4 to 8 mph field speeds it was designed for," says Georgia inventor Darrell Dailey about the state-of-the-art 3-pt. hitch hooded sprayer he unveiled at the recent Sunbelt Ag Expo at Moultrie, Ga.
Called the Spray and Glide, it was developed for cotton but is adaptable to corn and soybeans. Key to success is the patent-pending, stainless steel, 137-lb. hoods (38-in. wide is standard, 30-in. is optional). Stainless steel won't corrode or crack and, because of the weight, hoods stay exactly where you want them, Dailey notes.
Hoods are spring loaded and can be adjusted to whatever tension field and weather conditions dictate. They can also be adjusted 2 in. left or right.
Spray and Glide features three flat fan nozzles under the hood, two flat fan nozzles in back, one flat fan nozzle on the side and a hollow cone nozzle in front. Heavy-duty, 2-ply neoprene, close-cut curtains ensure whatever you're applying - fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide - doesn't drift or escape.
Comes with 200 or 300-gal. tank. Avail-able in 4, 6 and 8-rows beginning at $7,000.
