Vanguard of the sprayer world – built for the next generation

Sustainable farming is a hot topic when it comes to future planning of farming operations.

Although much care is put into sustainable practices and methodology, we often shy away from talking about the tools we use to ensure these practices can be sustainable, especially when it comes to machinery.

It’s a known fact that motor vehicles are a proven producer of emissions, but there are manufacturers who concentrate on ensuring that the products they offer are focused to meet global pollution objectives; a critical benchmark Agrifac continuously work towards on every adaption to their range of self-propelled crop sprayers.

The latest addition to the Agrifac Condor range, the Vanguard, has been meticulously designed to be fully compliant of all regulations in a number of European countries.

Following on from Agrifac’s Condor V sprayer, the Vanguard is also powered by a Cummins B6.7 Performance Series engine, fully certified to the latest EU Stage V emission standards.

Rated at either 149 kW or 212 kW, the Cummins engine meets Stage V without the need for exhaust gas recirculation.

Its Single Module™ after-treatment combines DOC, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and is up to 40% smaller and 20% lighter than Cummins’ previous system.

Cummins’ B6.7 engine features optimised fuel economy and longer maintenance intervals offering low cost of operation, as well as reduced total cost of ownership for farmers.

In addition, Cummins’ in-house Holset® VGT™ turbocharging technology sets the industry standard for reliability, durability and increased productivity.

Precision farming and drift reduction are two important issues when it comes to sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural solutions too.

With the Condor Vanguard, Agrifac delivers a machine that truly lives up to its ethos; ready for future demands and compliant to all European regulations.

With a tank capacity of 6000 litres and a driving speed of up to 50 km/h, it gives the market exactly what it needs.

More high-quality yield is achieved more efficiently, due to the fast-filling, fast-cleaning technology and fast-folding booms.

Like all self-propelled sprayers from Agrifac, the Condor Vanguard is equipped with the most innovative and high-quality (stable and balanced) options, which takes it into the Vanguard of precision farming and drift reduction.

Agrifac’s 4E’s for growers principle is at the basis of this: efficient, economic, ergonomic and ecological from design to development and throughout the usage by the operator too.
