AgQuip Gunnedah and Dowerin WA field days 2009 were once again a success for Crop Optics Australia. Our team spoke to many interested farmers about the benefits of WeedSeeker. See below some photos of our sites and here for the article in The Land.
Hydra Boom
Above and Below: The first 36 metre factory fitted Hydra Boom for the WA market was released at the Dowerin Field Days.
This boom is set up with dual tanks and dual pumps, with the WeedSeeker and Overall lines operated at the same time from separate tanks. We not only get the advantages of Dual Line operation but also the additional advantage of tailoring chemical rates and mixes to each line individually. This configuration allows use of specialist chemicals at WeedSeeker rates.
