Spraying feature… New self propelled sprayer series boosts cropper capabilities Cropland’s brand-new RG series of RoGator Self Propelled Sprayers are already making a strong impression with farmers around the country. “The big winner is the new drive system,” says Jeremy Rennick, Croplands Self Propelled Sprayer Specialist. At the core of the new RoGator RG series drive package is an advanced, Tier 4i, 8.4 litre engine with SCR technology and new seven-speed fully integrated drive system. “We’ve put a lot of work into making sure the whole hydraulic system on the RG series runs cooler and more efficiently, making it a more reliable machine,” adds Jeremy. The RoGator’s flex frame negates the need for traction control that is fitted to other makes of sprayer. This in turn means that hydraulic lines can run seamlessly to each individual wheel-motor with the whole system generating significantly less heat. Couple this to larger hubs, wheel motors and hydrostats and the result is less maintenance, less down time and lower running costs. The new Croplands RoGator sprayer. The new RoGator RG series machines are designed to offer significant advantages over comparable equipment in the big machinery class. According to the latest ‘Boom Times’ guide, released in May 2012 by independent agricultural research specialists Kondinin Group, operators are also showing a preference towards machinery systems that can handle wider boom configurations. The new RoGator RG series will not disappoint. “The RG Series booms are proven and have passed rigorous field tests with flying colours,” says Jeremy. Credit for the RoGator RG series’ big boom handling capability goes to a well thought out ‘goal post’ or rear mast mounted design, which not only allows the boom to easily slide up and down to adjust height but makes the weight distribution on the unit remarkably better than parallelogram mounted systems. The mast mount design offers extra stability, adjustability and ease of operation to help customers apply their chemical with the highest accuracy, an important feature when coverage and drift concerns are paramount. “We’re very excited about the new RoGator series – boom stability and handling is fantastic,” Jeremy adds. Thanks to new chassis design and flexible build specifications, Croplands are able to offer 24 to 36 metre boom options across all three RoGator RG models. As operators look to their all-in-one big machinery requirements, performance, smart design and big boom capabilities are on top of the list. Those seeking out a top end machine with plenty of clever features and new performance enhancements will find the impressive new RoGator RG1300 especially appealing. “There’s a lot of extra power in the ride,” says Jeremy. On the feature list, across all three models, is a solid boost of extra horsepower and enough torque range to easily pull through the toughest of field conditions, or ride comfortably across firm ground. Excellent visibility from the dedicated ‘sprayer’ cabin, generous layout of controls, precision-turning, smooth airbag suspension and a sleek new hood design on an easy to service machine round out a highly sought after package. Operators will also appreciate a considerably quieter, more fuel efficient engine and smoother transmission than on previous series machines. Along with significant reductions in in-cab noise levels, machine diagnostics and monitoring have also been improved via an ‘all in one’ console located for easy viewing while in operation. “The new RoGator RG is a machine you need to experience,” says Jeremy.

He’s at the top of his field. Congratulations to Nigel Corish of ‘Yambocully’ near Goondiwindi, Queensland, who is the 2012 recipient of the Monsanto Cotton Grower of the Year Award. ‘Yambocully’ is an excellent example of an all-round cotton farming enterprise, using industry best practice across the entire operation. In fact, since Nigel took the reigns in 2007, yields have increased every year and water use efficiency has doubled since 2005. We’d also like to congratulate the runners-up, Steve Porter and Geoff Miller from Mungindi, Queensland, and Scott Brimblecombe from St George, Queensland.
