Recently, the editors of Conservation Tillage Guide asked the manufacturers to share their latest innovations designed to improve the precision and efficiency of pull-type sprayers.

Below is a roundup of the information that was submitted by the manufacturers.

Top Air Wireless Controller

A new wireless controller from Kalida, Ohio-based Top Air allows the sprayer operator to control several functions from the cab, or up to 100 feet around the sprayer.

The controller hooks to power source cable for charging and operates up to 30 hours on a full charge. The receiver mounts under sprayer’s platform and accepts signals form the controller, and the necessary cables run directly into the receiver from the sprayer.

The wireless controller allows operators to control several functions, including rinse, filter purge and pump in/outlet, steerable hitch controls, foam marker controls, fencerow nozzles and 10-boom section control.

The controller is standard equipment on 2012 Top Air Premier T-Tank models.

Greenleaf Technologies TADF Nozzle

The TurboDrop Asymmetric Dual Fan Nozzle (TADF) is designed to improve coverage on vertical and angular targets with contact chemicals.

With single flat fan nozzles, the force from the travel speed of the sprayer deflects the downward-oriented droplets forward in the driving direction, which means coverage on the backside of the plant can be minimized.

The 50-degree rearward spray of the TADF is designed to overcome this effect and improve back-side coverage. The 10-degree forward spray will provide a combination of penetration and front-side coverage.
