Berthoud’s new Vantage is a high-spec, trailed sprayer that stands out from the crowd and won the prestigious Sprayer of the Year award at SIMA 2017 in Paris.
The Vantage has all the fundamentals of the brand: Actiflex II axle suspension, DualMatic operation and motorised Dualelec, as well as the Berthoud boom range. It provides an answer to customers looking for a made-to-measure spraying solution adapted to their farm and their crops. It also provides access to ISObus technology either with the Berthoud VT Tronic touch screen or IsoTronic directly on the tractor’s control screen.
“The Vantage is the sprayer for farmers who want to combine application precision, high working speed and comfort,” the head of products at Berthoud Crops, François-Xavier Janin, said. “This concept reveals a new facet of the Berthoud brand in the high-spec trailed sprayers sector.”
The Vantage inherits the best features of the Berthoud Tenor range of trailed sprayers which it replaces. With its low centre of gravity and dynamic tank design, it keeps the compact proportions that mean good handling and stability both on the road and in the field – all of this while limiting residual volumes. It has all the assets that have made earlier ranges a success: tried and tested equipment such as the Omega pump, the Actiflex II axle suspension and simplicity of operation with the Berlogic Panel.
The design is a successful alliance between dynamism and robustness. All of the hoods have been designed in Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) high-impact plastic to provide optimal protection of the sprayer components.
The original personality of the Berthoud Vantage is also to be seen in its style. The combination of the dark colour and the elongated tank line give the new trailed sprayer a sporty, technical look with a low centre of gravity.
The new Vantage range of trailed sprayers comprises five models of 2,800, 3,500, 4,300 and 5,500 or 6,700 litres that can be fitted with three boom types ranging from 24m to 44m: Axiale 24 to 38m; Kondor up to 38m; and Ektar B3 up to 44m.
