We were lucky enough for Agrifac to bring us their new Condor sprayer to test on farm. We spent the morning using it and all our guy love it. At Warter Priory Estate, we run 36m tramlines. Although this sprayer has a 40m boom, it was able to fold the two end sections in and spray at 36m. You’ll see a mixture of both shots (we tried the 40 as well). The tank holds 5,000 litres.
We put the sprayer into one of our fields with steep hills. It coped very well! We were very impressed with the demo!
So is 40m too big for our fields? We think not... it would be a huge gain in efficiency as it would let us cover more ground with each pass.
Warter Priory is a world class farming operation set in the heart of East Yorkshire amidst 12,000 acres. At Warter, we pride ourselves on our reputation for quality and efficient farming. The main crops we focus on growing are wheat, barley and oilseed rape. We also grow peas in partnership with Birds Eye and some of our land is used for growing potatoes.
