Challenger’s Self-propelled Sprayer to Work at Cereals 2016

Challenger’s RG600D self-propelled sprayer (including models RG635D, RG645D and RG655D) can be used with several new precision farming features.    The in-house developed application control for example can be connected with a Yara N-sensor for ‘on the go’ control of the application rate depending on the sensor’s reading.    Meanwhile, the TaskDoc Pro documentation system provides wireless data-exchange between the vehicle and the office, while the TaskDoc Variable Rate Control (VRC), a map based product application, provides optimum usage of fertiliser and crop.    The RG600D is also the first machine to use AGCO’s newly-developed global cab – 22% (32cm) wider than that of the previous RoGator C series, providing superior levels of operator visibility, space and comfort.    It is the largest workplace in the industry for the operator, while several storage places, including an integrated coolbox, have also been incorporated.    The front screen is 1.34 sq m (around 90% bigger) – greatly improving visibility at the front, while a flatter, wider and curved design of the rear windows help to improve visibility of the booms.    The new Category 4 certified cab also features an updated automatic climate control system as standard, while the twin screen terminal from the RG600C has been replaced by the RMC (RoGator Management Centre) with standard single or option of double 10.2” screens.    The fuel and ad-blue tanks have also been redesigned and incorporated in the new front bumper and the size of the diesel tank has increased from 230 to 320 litres.    The height of the side-walls of the pull-out chemical storage container have been lowered, making it easier to replace spray cans, while a new position for the hydraulic tank behind the cab has allowed the access platform to be made of a flat floor design.    All machines are telemetry ready with Auto Steer as standard, with the flexibility to connect to most RTK networks, including Trimble.
