| 45 Spray unit covers more ground in less time Kelly Deeks New Zealand’s major spraying equipment manufacturer, BA Pumps and Sprayers, has a world-first solution for farmers looking to cover more ground in less time, with its recently released LM Linkage Sprayer and fully hydraulic M boom. The product has been designed for a range of spraying applications and built to be safer, faster, and stronger. BA Pumps and Sprayers has been researching, designing, and engineering sprayer technologies since 1989. Starting out in Hamilton as a spraying services operation, then becoming the Bertolini importer for Australia and New Zealand, BA Pumps and Sprayers now produces the most comprehensive range of high quality New Zealand made sprayers into the agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, and industrial sectors. BA Pumps and Sprayers’ approach is built around a combination of good old Kiwi ingenuity and the world’s best components and technology, backed up by nationwide support and personal service. BA Pumps and Sprayers’s new LM Linkage Sprayer is a shift towards more efficient, safer, and productive spraying. Designed to take advantage of the typical 100hp to 120hp already operated by a lot of farmers, and coupled with the world-first 12m M boom, the LM Linkage Sprayer allows mid-sized farmers to do their own largescale time-critical spraying at an affordable price point. “The M boom’s full wing lift capability from just two tractor remotes is a game-changer,” says BA Pumps and Sprayers general manager Mark Harris. “It means farmers with rolling country can now use a 12m boom where before they will have had to use a 6m or 8m boom. With the full wing lift of our M boom, they can adapt to the shape of their country and cover a lot more ground before having to refill the 1150L tank.” BA Pumps and Sprayers has produced the LM Linkage Sprayer and M boom in response to time-poor farmers needing their spraying done at the right time. “Spraying is a critical task for crop establishment and pasture management which needs to be done at the right time and in the right conditions,” Mark says. “Farmers are using contractors and if they can’t get a contractor at the right time,they will use their own small manual-fold 6m or 8m boom. It’s a lot of work.” RURAL SERVICES » BA Pumps Sprayers As a dairy farmer himself, Mark is running the LM Linkage Sprayer and M boom at his own place, and says its ease of operation makes the job of spraying a pleasure rather than a pain. “You actually look forward to doing it. Having a machine of this size at this price is really good value. I can improve the quality and quantity of my pastures, get rid of the weeds, and get set up for cropping at the right time.” Mark says the new machine is a great opportunity for an industry that needs to be driving productivity and looking for efficiency gains. More and more weeds are becoming established on New Zealand’s 30,000-odd farms and spraying is the way to maintain quality in pastures and establish crops to produce cost-efficient feed. “Liquid fertilisers are becoming more and more popular and this machine can be used to apply many pre-mixed fertiliser products as well. dynamicmaintenancenz Dynamic Maintenance Proud to be an Official LM Series Stocking Dealer for BA Pumps and Sprayers www.dynamicltd.co.nz Lorneville Roundabout Invercargill Ph: 03 235 8833 Proudly supporting BA Pumps & Sprayers The new LM Linkage Sprayer and 12m M boom allows mid-sized farmers to do their own large-scale time-critical spraying at an affordable price point.
