IN A FAST paced technology culture, the ability to upgrade is paramount.
Recognising this, Case IH have offered Patriot owners the novel solution of a retro-fit.
Case IH Patriot Product Specialist Andrew Kissel said the Aim Command Flex retro-fit kits are now available in Australia and New Zealand and can be installed on any Patriot sprayer manufactured from 2009 to 2016..
“It’s great news for owners of older Patriots who’d like to take advantage of the improved technology, but aren’t in a position at this stage to invest in a whole new machine,” he said/
Case IH dealer, Intersales, co-owner, Adam Blachut said the retro-fit kits were easy to install, meaning little machine downtime for farmers.
“You can put this system on your old sprayer, and have it do just as good a job as a new sprayer with the latest and greatest spray technology,” he said.
Mr Blachut said earlier in the year, the dealership had installed a kit for a customer who had initially decided against the AIM Command technology on his Patriot.
“The customer was having some issues with weeds and with trying to get the right droplet size on the target,” he said.
“So upgrading to AimCommand Flex meant he could maintain droplet size at different speeds, achieving a far better result.”
Features of Aim Command Flex include 36 section overlap control, application rate turn compensation and constant boom pressure which can be adjusted independent of the target rate and sprayer speed along with increased application rate flexibility across the boom.
