Cab
Operator Environment
The cab is well-appointed and offers efficient space to operate this level of self-propelled sprayer. Whether driving or spraying, the layout and location of controls is user friendly. Six air outlets in the ceiling lining directs climatically controlled air throughout the cab to maintain cab comfort.
A radio mp3 player with speakers positioned in the four quarters of the ceiling lining delivers quality sound. The system includes USB, SD card slots and is Bluetooth compatible.The overhead console houses the light and wiper switch controls.The right side window panel opens wide to provide external access to the right side of the sprayer. The steering console pivots in two places to provide the most comfortable driving position. The engine management monitor and engine warning lights are integrated into the console.

PRESIDIO Cab
For long spraying days and nightsthe PRESIDIO 4-pillar cab is operator friendly, comfortable and quiet. Tinted safety glass, with pull down sunvisor minimises glare and slim corner posts allows excellent visibility. The field of view to the boom and to the front wheels is excellent. Entering the row for row-crop spraying and maintaining accurate boom height has never been easier.
The forward sloping hood enhances the field of view to the road in transport and adjustable electric rear view mirrors are standard. Climate control air conditioning is set and-forget, delivering operator comfort in hot or cold conditions. The rear cab door provides easy entry and excellent access to the tank. |
Climate Control
A fully integrated climate-control air conditioning system provides set-and-forget cab comfort. A combination dust and charcoal filter protects the operator. BlueTooth compatible, AM/FM radio with 4 speakers is standard. |
Driver's Seat
To allow many hours of fatigue-free spraying, the PRESIDIO driver’s seat is made from high quality materials for the best comfort. The seat has airbag suspension and offers height, swivel, back and leg adjustment. A storage compartment is built into the seat mounting base. |
Auxilliary control console
Secondary control switches for lighting and windscreen wiper functions are grouped on the console just above the operator's head, along with the electrically operated external rear vision mirrors. Air conditioner outlets are located throughout the cab. |

Fluid System
Mixing, filling and transfer
Loading is fast, efficient and easy. The controls are within easy reach and are logically placed. Two color-coded SmartValves operate the primary filling, spraying and cleaning functions. Fast, high-capacity filling is through two 2" camlock couplings, one to the maintank and the other to the rinse tank. Main tank is filtered.
Loading chemicals is safe and easy via a high capacity TurboFiller that is lowered to provide access. The turbo deflector in the bottom of the TurboFiller creates a powerful liquid vortex which thoroughly mixes the chemical into a solution before it is transferred. The HARDI fluid system is fully integrated with slide pin, O-ring sealed manifold valves and is driven by the Ace 650 WetSeal RunDry centrifugal pump.
|
TurboFiller
Lowering the TurboFiller into the operating position is made easy with aspring-loaded drop down bracket that automatically locks for transport. The turbo deflector in the bottom of the TurboFiller creates a powerful liquid vortex for thorough mixing. A rinse nozzle is located there to clean out containers. |
DynamicFluid4
The PRESIDIO's DynamicFluid4 fluid system is driven by a high performance HARDI 650 Wet seal run-dry centrifugal pump, which can achieve 15 to 30 gpm. rate change in 1.5 seconds. The PRESIDIO fluid system delivers the target rate without lag whether sections are switched on or off, changing speed or turning in or out of headlands. Advanced fluid dynamics and rate control processes are employed to deliver fast response and accurate target rate application.Pressure, flow, pump speed, forward speed, boom sections and application rate is monitored and processed using advanced computations. The DynamicFluid4 processor analysis the spraying data 20 times a seconds and provides preemptive rate control capability, altering the pump speed with pin-point precision.The proportional hydraulics used to control the pump speed are highly accurate, smooth but incredibly fast. |

Chassis, Engine & Power train
Ride
PRESIDIO gives outstanding operatorcomfort and ride. To protect the sprayer and provide a smooth ride for best boom performance the PRESIDIO is equipped with compact front and rear air bag suspension and hydraulic shock absorber dampening.
The rear axle oscillates to maintain traction on all 4 driving wheels. PRESIDIO ground clearance is standard at 53". Mechanical track width adjustment is 94" to 120". Optional mudguards give added benefit to keep the machine clean.
|
4WD & Cruise
PRESIDIO has a 173.5 HP 6 cylinder Deutz TCD2012 engine which delivers excellent power to weight ratio. It is turbo charged, water cooled, has common rail fuel injection and is Tier 3 compliant. 4WD, 3-speed hydrostatic transmissionwith cruise control is standard. The engine, transmission and cruise combine to provide power, efficiency and smooth control of forward speed.
Electronic control of the hydrostatic transmission optimizes performance and ensures the engine does not rev higher than is needed increasing driving comfort and improving fuel savings. Forward speed and direction of travel is managed by the joystick control or cruise control regulator which allows the operator to concentrate on the application. Cockpit info is centrally located, includes a wide variety of operators chosen data with audible warning alert. Diesel fuel tank capacity is 82 gal., providing easily a day’s fuel efficiency. |
Wheels and tires
The load carrying performance of the PRESIDIO tires have been selected to provide the best ride and flotation characteristics while minimising crop damage. Adjustable axle options from 94" to 120". |
Suspension
The compact air bag axle suspension elements carry the load and hydraulic shock absorbers dampen the ride. The suspension is ideally suited to different load ratings, providing the PRESIDIOwith a low centre of gravity and enhanced boom stability. |

Boom
EAGLE Boom
EAGLE boom is renown in broadacre and row crop applications, offering unequalled performance in rough conditions. Available in sizes from 75 to 90 feet, the EAGLE is a strong two dimension truss construction supported by fast acting paralift boom height control. Individual wing tilt is standard for tilting the boom wing on headlands, over obstiacle and to keep the boom out of harm’s way. A non-directional spring loaded breakaway system protects the boom from damage.
|
EAGLE wing fold
The wing sections are a strong two dimensional construction. Hydraulic cylinders near the center fold the inner wings and simultaneously fold the outer wings by cable. |
Effortless hydraulic paralift
A wide paralift gives fast effortless boom height control to 86" with excellent boom stability. |
EAGLE performance
The exceptional boom performance is based on the inertia trapeze suspension and anti-yaw dampening system which delivers unmatched stability through cornering and headlands. The smooth ride comes down to a combination of the dynamically linked coil spring center and air-bag suspensionon the PRESIDIO.
The coils spring suspension absorbs shock transmitted to the boom from driving over normal field condition. All the nozzle are well protected behind the boom structure and can be adjusted to suit the nozzle tip length. The gull wing boom unfold and fold is uncomplicated fast and efficient. |

Controls
Application Control
Spraying is easy with all the operational and application controls at your fingertips. On the driver’s seat console is the forward reverse hydrostatic control joystick On-the-go 3 speed range selector, engine-rev dial and cruise control work together to provide a smooth accurate forward speed.
Engine revs can be stored in memory and set at the press of a button. A foot brake alongside a foot accelerator allows the PRESIDIO to accelerate and stop like a conventional vehicle. The in-cab HC 8500 application controller platform provide the highest level of performance and application precision with function & rate control at you finger tips.
