He adds that farmers are wanting the time saving of being able to quickly ‘hitch on and go’ compared to the usual mounted machines aimed at this customer segment. A Honda petrol powered engine option means the sprayers can also be used with an ATV/UTV or farm truck.
Both models have a tandem axle and galvanised frame, with a couple of tweaks already in the pipeline such as a step at the front to make filling easier. A hydraulic version of the 12m boom is also being developed.
The spec of the sprayer can be pretty much tailored to the end user as Clever Agri has a vast selection of parts. The smaller, self-powered unit on show has a price tag of €5,400 (plus VAT) with electric sections, suction and pump out arrangement. The larger machine with pto-powered AR pump is around €8,500. The fabrication work is being done by local fabricator Killerig Engineering.
As well as the supplying sprayer parts and other agricultural electronics, Clever Agri is the Irish importer for Arland sprayers from France.
