New John
Deere trailed
sprayer at
Cereals 2015
»»A new high
specification 4400-litre
capacity trailed sprayer from
John Deere (pictured) made
its UK show debut at Cereals
2015 in June.
The R944i model on
display, together with its new
M Series mid specification
equivalent the M944(i), mean
that John Deere now offers a
wider range of specifications
and configurations than ever
before in a machine of this
size, with a choice of manual,
semi-automatic or fully
automated sprayers.
The latest models offer
the same basic features
as the larger M & R Series
sprayers up to 6200 litres,
but with a smaller tank size.
Both new versions have the
same low profile tank design
and low centre of gravity for
maximum stability under all
spraying conditions, while
the established axle steering
system provides accurate
tracking on the headlands to
reduce wheeling damage.
Powerful, high-capacity twin
piston diaphragm sprayer
pumps supply liquid at 560
litres/min for fast automatic
filling and spraying. An
optionally available centrifugal
pump boosts filling capacity
to700 litres/min.
A wide choice of durable
steel spray booms is available,
from 24 to 30m (doublefolding) and 24 to 40m
(triple-folding). These feature
a central pendulum for boom

levelling, anti-yaw suspension
system, vertical and horizontal
boom breakaway protection
and durable pivot points.
Optional intelligent
solutions for more accurate
and efficient spraying include
the BoomTrac automatic
boom height control system,
pressure recirculation
and AutoDilute. The
SolutionCommand automatic
solution management
system with AutoDilute lets
the operator accurately fill,
agitate, spray and multi-cycle
rinse the sprayer, disposing
of residues at the push of
a button on the tractor’s
GreenStar display.
The standard GreenStar
2630 display in the tractor
cab supports a full range
of automatic guidance,
documentation, ISOBUS
implement control and
performance monitoring
features; this and the multifunction joystick are the only
two operator controls in the
cab.
The new M944(i) and R944i
also offer a wider range of
tyre options than ever before
on trailed sprayers of this
capacity, to reduce ground
pressure and thus help
avoid compaction and soil
damage.
The full range of R900
& M900 Series sprayers
replaces the previous 800
Series trailed models, which
will stop production later in
2015.
