Redesigned from the ground up, main features of the all-new McConnel Agribuggy V300 on display at Lamma today include the redesigned cab and 50km/hr transmission.
The new variable transmission is said to ensure perfect speed control for optimal spraying output, and OMSI drive axles with locking differential provide improved traction and handling. Ground clearance is a generous 750mm when fitted with large-diameter row-crop wheels.
The new 360-degree visibility Comfort cab comes with 10 LED work lights, electrically adjustable mirrors, an air-suspended high-back seat, and a floating control console.
The 3.8l Cummins Stage V 148hp turbocharged block delivers 600Nm of torque at lower revs and has an intelligent engine braking system. The wide-opening access panel on the redesigned engine bay provides quick and convenient access for maintenance and servicing, including fuel, AdBlue, and engine oil fill points.
With an unloaded weight of just 6.4t, the standard 3,000-litre sprayer demount has been internally baffled for extra strength and to prevent surges. A new electronic sight gauge with LED display for tank contents and remote PTO control has been added for greater convenience and accuracy. 12/24m aluminium Pommier booms with a pressure recirculation system remain a standard feature.
“The McConnel Agribuggy holds a distinctive niche in the market due to its low ground pressure and mechanical drivelines,” comments McConnel sprayer sales specialist, Alex Fastnedge. “The new model stays true to these principles while introducing a host of enhancements, including variable transmission and greater comfort.”
