The prototype of Ploeger’s self-propelled three-wheeled slurry machine has been spotted at a Dutch contractor. Called the AT4103 – AT (Application Terra) 4103, the manufacturer remains tight-lipped and says that the design and colour scheme of the final version will differ when the commercial version is brought to Agritechnica in November.
What we can reveal is that the engine comes from Scania, the CVT from ZF, and the cab from Claas, and the machine will be made at Ploeger’s Dutch facility in Roosendaal. The three-wheeler will not be the only configuration, and versions will also come for spreading both liquid and solid fertilisers and FYM.
