John Deere and Hagie Manufacturing have announced that they will update model year 2019 Hagie sprayers to improve performance, as well as functionality.
Model Year 2019 Hagie STS10 and STS12 machines will be powered by 6.8L PowerTech™ John Deere diesel engines, providing 280 and 300 horsepower respectively. These engines are specifically designed to deliver consistent power and they ensure that the machine can operate over a range of different terrains. Hagie is also introducing a high-performance cooling package, which will increase the fuel efficiency of the STS10 and STS12 models.
"Commonality of engines across all John Deere and Hagie Sprayer platforms makes sense from a customer service perspective, making it easier and convenient for customers to get their sprayers serviced by their local John Deere dealers, no matter which brand they own," says Doug Felter, product marketing manager for John Deere application equipment.
The Dual Product System (DPS) that has been offered will also now be expanded. DPS allows the tank to be divided so that two different products can be applied in one pass.
"The Dual Product System is perfect for late-season applications of nitrogen and fungicides or insecticides to corn, for example," Felter says. "This makes the Hagie DPS the most versatile application system for nurturing and protecting crops from emergence to harvest in a single trip across the field. DPS-equipped machines save time, fuel and damage to crops by reducing the number of passes, and has become more popular with many customers in recent years."
