Equipment Technologies’ Apache sprayers


equiptechimageStarting with a torque-converted mechanical drive, growers will begin to notice something is very different. Make no mistake: it is the mechanical drive of an Apache that proves different is better. Through the simplicity of the drive train, Apache customers boast 50 percent better fuel efficiency, easy do-it yourself maintenance, significantly less soil compaction and an overall smoother, quieter ride compared to hydrostats. The drive train makes comfort and profitability possible, but the full picture requires a closer look at the suspension.

 Moving a little closer to ground, there is a patented hydraulic suspension. When combined with the focused power of a mechanical drive, the Apache’s suspension allows an operator to take off from any gear position and do so without tearing up the field. They can do this because the Apache is geared to multiply engine torque up to two times when needed for hilly terrain and muddy conditions. Then a limited slip differential kicks in and the operator gets traction where they need it. This unique suspension system also features anti-sway and auto-levelling technology designed to keep the booms out of the dirt on sharp turns regardless of whether or not the tank is full or close to empty.
