A new breed of mounted sprayers is set to offer cost savings & increased productivity to the amenity & turf sector this season. Kieran Would, Managing Director of Agrigem explains more.

‘The new range of FGA mounted sprayers manufactured by FarmGEM Ltd have been specifically designed with the UK amenity & turf market in mind. They are built very robustly using high quality steel and components that are all specified to meet the latest legislation.

The strong yet light & compact design enables connection to most tractors & operation is straight forward with all control functions located together and within easy reach. The operator has easy control of main on/off, individual spray section on/off, pressure adjustment, tank rinsing nozzle and turbo agitation jet.

The powerful 75 litre/min diaphragm pump provides more than adequate flow for application and can easily handle liquid fertilisers too. The liquid flow system is protected by both a large in-line suction filter and tank neck basket filter, cutting down on blocked pipes & nozzles.

In order to comply with the latest safety & NSTS requirements, each machine is equipped with two separate clean water tanks for rinsing the machine, including the internal surfaces of the tank via a spinning distribution nozzle and also an emergency clean water tank for hand washing. The boom height can be manually adjusted to suit differing conditions and spraying with only one wing boom open is possible for smaller areas, also as an option a retractable hose reel and spraying lance can be specified allowing applications away from the machine around buildings and pathways for example.

The FGA200 starts at £2,150 & the FGA400 at £2,800 (ex VAT). These sprayers are readily available for nationwide delivery and can be offered with extended 90 days’ credit.
