Latest sprayer “redesigned from the ground up”

Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new Agribuggy features a redesigned cab, a 50kph variable transmission, a Cummins engine, heavy-duty drivetrain, and a 3,000-litre spray tank for enhanced performance, durability, and output.

With an unloaded weight of just 6,400kg, McConnel claims the new Agribuggy V300 remains the market-leading light-footed sprayer that allows growers to spray crops in challenging ground conditions and tough terrain, enabling safe and productive working earlier and later in the year.

The new variable transmission ensures perfect speed control for optimal spraying output, and OMSI drive axles with locking differential provide improved traction and handling with a generous 750mm ground clearance when fitted with large-diameter row-crop wheels.

Designed for all-day comfort, the brand new Agribuggy Comfort Cab offers outstanding 360-degree visibility and an ergonomic layout. Featuring 10 LED work lights, electrically adjustable mirrors, an air-suspended high-back seat, and a floating control console, it creates the perfect environment for extended working hours.

Powered by a high-performance Cummins 3.8-litre 148hp turbocharged diesel engine, the power plant is Stage 5 compliant with Euro emissions standards. Delivering 600Nm of torque at lower revs and utilising an intelligent engine braking system, the new power plant provides responsive power and performance both on the road and in the field.

The redesigned engine bay now comes with a wide-opening access panel, providing quick and convenient access for maintenance and servicing, including fuel, AdBlue, and engine oil fill points.

The V300 comes equipped with a 3,000-litre sprayer demount that has been internally baffled for extra strength and to prevent surges. A new electronic sight gauge with LED display for tank contents and remote PTO control has been added for greater convenience and accuracy. The 12/24m aluminium Pommier booms with a pressure recirculation system remain a standard feature.

McConnel sprayer sales specialist, Alex Fastnedge, commented: “The McConnel Agribuggy holds a distinctive niche in the market due to its low ground pressure and mechanical drivelines. The new model stays true to these principles while introducing a host of enhancements, including variable transmission and greater comfort.”

The Agribuggy V300 was well received by visitors to the LAMMA event.
