John Deere says its new R975i sprayer is the biggest trailed model the company has ever manufactured. Available in 2022, the 7,500l machine is set to join the rest of the R900i Series line-up, with tank capacities of 4,400, 5,200 and 6,200l.
For the first time on John Deere sprayers, the M900(i) and R900i Series models will offer 25cm nozzle spacing as an option.
This is an on-centre solution that means an additional nozzle is placed between each 50cm nozzle body on the spray boom.
The Multidrive 6185 is powered by a 185hp John Deere engine.
Based near the Giants Causeway, Bushmills, Co Antrim, James Richmond runs Causeway Agri alongside a sheep enterprise. However, not being your typical agricultural contractor, James specialises in liquid fertiliser application and crop spraying.
Background
Having originally started out as a general agricultural contractor, James moved into the area of crop spraying during the 1990s.
At this time, spraying potato crops with acid was the done thing and required specialist gear. Given that few farmers at the time were equipped with the suitable machinery, James had a niche offering which saw him spray on farms in all corners of the country.
