Vicon recently launched a new trailed sprayer iXtrack T3. With its smart, compact design and volumes of 2600 and 3200 litres in combination with high technology features the iXtrack T3 fulfils the requirements of farmers spraying today and tomorrow say Vicon.
“The iXtrack T3 is developed in cooperation with farmers and designed with focus on a short, low and compact design in combination with smart electronics and user friendliness”, says Alexander Sassenberg, Director Sales & Marketing.
With the new tank design the valve panel has been re-designed for more user comfort. The tank outlet is close to the pump and short hoses are used to minimise rest liquid. iXclean Pro is the next generation of Vicon’s automatic valve management system. This means that all functions can be controlled from the cab at the push of a button.
The iXtrack T3 has one central frame which is made out of heavy duty steel, also known as High Strength Low Alloyed, that has higher flexibility and durability to withstand the impacts of modern farming with higher driving speeds in the field as well as on the road.
The frame is now riveted instead of welded, which leads to a very strong and robust construction. The sprayer has a low centre of gravity and compact dimensions for higher working speeds, safe transportation and easy parking in the barn.
The iXtrack T3 is equipped with a smooth, suspended parallelogram that is active when in the field and in transport. The parallelogram combines optimal stability with soft boom balancing and limited vertical movement to minimise spray height deviations, securing correct crop coverage.
In transport position HSA aluminium or HSS steel spray booms fold away nicely over the new tank design and far away from the tractor cab. This results in a transport width of 2,55m and a height of only 3,20m that together with the low gravity point provides excellent stability.
The iXtrack T3 is equipped with ErgoDrive headland management as standard, to activate boom functions and steering by one push on the button. With the optional GEOLIFT® function on the IsoMatch Tellus PRO terminal this can even be fully automated based on the GPS position.
The heavy duty HSS spray booms from 18-30 metre are available on the iXtrack T3. The HSS spray boom profile combines a minimum of weight with maximum strength and stability. The high tech HSA 21 or 24 metre aluminium boom protects the nozzle holders efficiently within the bottom profile and are designed for easy cleaning. Aluminium bonding instead of welding saves on weight and has remarkable strength.
