Tool carrier
The tool carrier
The TOOL CARRIER with multiple purposes, primarily built for field testing. The carrier can include plot sprayer, mechanical weed control by row cleaner, weed harrowing, fertilizer application, drilling of backed seed of multiple crops via belted and or cell cones system and drilling of standard plots from a traditional seeder.
SAFE
Minimizes the operators’ exposure to pesticide contamination.
EFFICIENT
Designed to include as many field-testing operations as possible.
EASY TO USE
Automatic GPS steering, speed control, water filling and cleaning system.
Safety for Operators
Whatever field testing operation is needed, the carrier will operate with a high focus on operator safety as well as pesticide contamination.
The field trial officers are not contaminated as he or she are mounted on the sprayer in front of the spray boom and therefore not walking next to or behind the spray boom. Filling and in general operations with pesticides include high-safety and simple operations. A compressed Air system is included which means no operations including high air pressure involve trial staff.
Efficiency and ease of use
Traditionally, field operations often include 2 or more trial officers, but with The Tool Carrier they can be operated by a single field officer. The officer is mounted on the tool carrier which includes GPS steering and speed control calibrated to the field conditions.
The carrier width in transport on the trailer is 190 cm. The tool carrier has a standard ground clearance of 120 cm which can be extended to 180 cm and makes the carrier operational in flowering oil seed rape for fungus- and insect applications as well as a plot separator and maize. Specific row cleaners and weed harrows are constructed based on customer needs and plot widths up to 300 cm.
Spray system
The highly sophisticated spray system from Speedy 2500 can be mounted on the carrier. This makes the Multi a full body sprayer and superfluous other field operations.
The sprayer includes an automatic spray program controlling up to 8 treatments per loading in 4 replicated trials: automatic water filling systems, rinsing of pre-measured pesticide bottles, and total cleaning and washing of syringes and nozzle – the entire spray system require no officer handling.
It is easy to handle without any heavy lifting and the spray boom operates to guard the officer and provides field test spray in wind speeds up to 7 m/s – compressed air is produced by the sprayer.
