Crop Sprayers

Sandstone Estates with its extensive arable lands has opted for two tractor drawn sprayers rather than one big self-propelled machine. The nature of our lands and the fact that they are spread out over a large area requires an organised spraying programme.

Rather than have one big machine that would have difficulty with some of the topographical conditions on the farm we have elected to operate two tractor drawn units which are as follows:

This is our Jacto which has been in service for many years but which has been fully refurbished with new booms and advanced new GPS based electronics by Quantum in Kroonstad.

The second unit, which is new to the fleet, is the fully South African manufactured Quantum drawn sprayer, here seen being offloaded at Sandstone Estates recently.

We are now well equipped to cope with the nearly 4,000 ha of arable land that needs to be planted in the 2013 summer planting season.
