A replacement for the popular SpraCoupe lightweight sprayer, the RG700 delivers more power with a new 175hp Agco Power engine. It’s also equipped with the latest technology systems, is easy to operate and, like larger RoGator models, features an application-specific cab design that maximises operator comfort and safety.
“From the ground up, the RG700 is designed to deliver exceptional precision and performance at the top of its class,” Challenger manager product marketing manager Hubertus von Dungern said. “No matter what the conditions, the RG700 provides all the power and dependability to get in the fields and get the job done.”
The RG700 offers an industry-leading all-wheel-drive Smart Drive System, even weight distribution and Parallel C-channel Flex Frame, all of which combine to provide consistent field speed with stability and excellent traction with all four wheels remaining on the ground. The result is a smoother ride, less wear and tear on the booms, and more precise product application, even under varying field conditions.
With 175hp, the RG700’s Agco Power engine is more powerful than many competitive sprayers, and produces more torque that provides consistent power to pull through hills, rough terrain and soft, wet ground. The single hydrostat 110cc drive system provides infinite speed ranges, with no gear shifting. The operator can select the desired speed for the spraying task in hand and maintain spray output precisely, regardless of field conditions. A top speed of up to 48km/hr cuts travel times on the road.

Drive pressure is kept low, which keeps the system cooler, limits engine load and extends engine life. Hydraulic flow is meticulously controlled based on speed and terrain, and oil temperature is carefully controlled so you’re always working, not overheating. Speed sensors at each wheel motor ensure that all four wheels are always turning at the same speed, eliminating wheel spinning when entering the field and on soft, wet ground. Automatic traction control is standard to allow the RG700 to work in wet conditions and on hilly terrain without spinning wheels or getting stuck. Crop damage is minimised, spraying is consistently accurate and workrates are improved.
The RG700’s unique frame keeps all four wheels on the ground and driving, even on rough, uneven surfaces. Pioneered by RoGator in 1993, this system is so stable that wheels can flex as much as 35cm and still maintain four points of solid contact with the ground. The result is a smoother, safer ride and consistent application of product to the ground through improved boom control.
The state-of-the-art Air Spring Suspension System with rear sway control gives a smoother ride that is more comfortable for the operator, along with consistent boom height position for more accurate spraying across the field. It also offers a constantly adjusting ride as the tank empties and the load diminishes. Spring suspension keeps booms level, minimises wear and tear and gives straight, true steering as the improved shock absorption and lower vibration means the machine stays in the row, further minimising crop damage. Less wear and tear also means less maintenance, longer life and better resale value.
Two axle configurations (narrow and standard) allow for multiple track widths to operate quickly and easily through a wide variety of crops, crop heights and field conditions. The standard 2.26m axle gives clearance of 1.36m.

The RG700’s cab has been built with operator comfort and safety in mind. |
All RoGator models feature the industry’s only cabs designed specifically for application, built with operator comfort and safety in mind. Visibility is enhanced by the RG700’s six-post cab design that provides a wide, panoramic front windshield and curved windows in the corners for unmatched visibility. Folded booms rest below the sightlines for better road visibility.
Safety is improved with wider platforms and a lower first step onto the walkway that provide easier, more convenient access. There’s no need to go under the booms to get in and there’s enough room on the platform to easily open the door and enter the cab. Operator comfort is addressed with sound-dampening materials for a quieter ride plus an ergonomic armrest and joystick configuration that controls all functions from boom raise and lower to the master on/off and shuttle shifting, so all operations are easily to hand.
The filling station is designed for a quick, simple and safe filling process. The liquid system is designed to achieve maximum output flow and industry leading tip-to-tip application accuracy. There is a choice of 24m or 28m boom widths, equipped with 50cm nozzle spacing. Norac Boom Height control can be specified for perfect field contour following and reliable, accurate spraying even on undulating ground.
From sprayer and boom height controllers to assisted steering systems to the AcController information centre and AgCommand telemetry system for monitoring machine performance data, the RG700 is fitted with the latest technology systems to maximise productivity and profitability.
