“I needed more output for better timeliness, and the most flexible solution for my business was the Kverneland iXter-iXtra combination,” says Jack, pictured. “The Kverneland iXter B sprayer offers good weight distribution, better stability than a trailed model on steeper slopes, and since I already have tractors, it provides far better value than a self-propelled one.”
With the ability to carry 1,200 liters up front and 1,800 liters at the rear of his John Deere 6R155 tractor and work at 12m, 18m, and 24m, he says the outfit is easy to hitch and remove thanks to the use of an A-frame. “I can often put the sprayer on and off several times a week,” he says. “I face a huge variety of crop types, so the sprayer must be easy to use and very easy to clean.”
Supplied by RC Dalgliesh, Jack opted for a high-specification package that includes Kverneland iXclean Pro, Kverneland iXspray control, and Kverneland iXflow-E with Boom Guide.
“As an ISOBUS Kverneland sprayer, it is plug and play through my tractor’s extended terminal, and with the Kverneland IsoMatch Grip joystick, I have full control of functionality, alongside auto section control and auto start/stop.”
Simplifying multi-tank management, the Kverneland iXter B sprayer is also equipped with TwinFill capability. “I really like Kverneland TwinFill,” he says. “It ensures that the correct volumes of liquid in the correct concentrations for each tank are correctly mixed, split, and transferred. As a contractor, that’s very important for me and also my customers.”
