New Pumps with Integrated PWM Control Valves from Ace Pump Corp.
For years, pulse width modulated (PWM) control systems were limited to self-propelled sprayers. Now, the same technology can be implemented easily on pull-type sprayers and fertilizer applicators, thanks to four new pump models with integrated PWM control valves from Ace Pump Corp. The new lineup of Ace pumps with integrated PWM control valves are designed for use on any closed-center hydraulic system. The pump and valve combination provides quick rate changes for constant and variable-rate applications. No bypass circuit is needed to route excess flow back to the tank, thus preventing excessive heat and foaming caused by large bypass flows. The pumps run only as fast as necessary to minimize horsepower requirements, as well as wear and tear on the pump and other system components.

360 Y-DROP® Nitrogen Application System
Get more from your self-propelled sprayer. The 360 Y-DROP® turns your sprayer into a late-season nitrogen application system. That means you can extend the value of your sprayer and get the yield-boosting advantages that come from improved nitrogen timing and placement. Corn uses 75% of its nitrogen after V11. 360 Y-DROP allows you to delay your final application to match the peak use period. Plus, by applying later, you can adjust application rates to match the needs of the corn plant — based on the weather impact of your field's nitrate levels. It’s a simple retrofit to your sprayer.

Gearmore Venturi Air Boom Sprayers
The Gearmore Venturi Air Boom Sprayers were developed for vegetable crops that require total plant coverage. Our turbine fan produces high-speed air up to 400 mph, which is required to obtain 20-40 mph at each outlet. The air is passed through venturi tubes with the introduction of liquid, which is sheared into extremely fine (50 micron) fog-size droplets. The air/liquid movement allows the chemical to completely cover the vegetation, especially the underside of leaves. The booms raise and lower hydraulically for different crop heights, independent of the sprayer. Booms also have breakaway and hydraulic fold-away systems. These sprayers have 150-gallon tanks with boom lengths of 27 and 40 feet.

New Kuri Tec® Truespray™ Hose
The Kuri Tec® Truespray™ hose has been proven to reduce unwanted herbicide carryover damage. Even after repeated flushing, other spray hoses — rubber, PVC and PVC/Polyurethane constructions — can retain significant amounts of herbicide residue buildup long after use. During re-use, this buildup can unexpectedly leach out of the hose, causing costly crop damage and subsequent yield loss — even years later! The Kuri Tec® Truespray™ hose features a permeation-resistant inner liner, ensuring your herbicides and pesticides wind up where you want them — on the field. Scientific studies have shown that the Truespray™ hose provides superior clean-out characteristics vs. other hoses now used. Read the Weed Science Society of America 2017 report.
