Kuhn: Deltis sprayer is designed for smaller tractors

Kuhn displayed models from its tractor-mounted sprayer range at Cereals 2010, including the Deltis which was on display in the UK for the first time.

According to the company’s UK sales manager, Duncan McLeish, all the models in the range are designed to meet the requirements of UK arable farmers and will offer some significant advantages for many.

The Deltis, with compact polyethylene tanks and forward centre of gravity, is available at up to 1,200-litre capacity and 24m boom width for tractors of limited size.

“This machine is notable for its suspended mounting, which reduces the stresses on the machine when in transport,” Mr McLeish said. “More damage is done to sprayers in transport than when in use in the field, so this is an important advantage and again shows that the design is focused on low maintenance and longevity.”

Other mounted sprayers in Kuhn’s range include the Omis (600-1,200 litres) and the Altis (1,300-1,800 litres).
