In many countries, farmers do not have tractors of 65 hp or more. To help these farmers, we decided to develop a few 3-point mounted machines, that require less horsepower.
These machines have a 2-speed gear box. On the lower speed, less horsepower is needed. Of course, the protected area will be smaller.
To have most weight as close to the tractor as possible, the fan is mounted vertically and two gas bottles are put in front of the fan.
There are 3 different models:
- The F252 has two lower exits. It’s capacity (6 to 8 ha) is not as big as the capacity of the F501 (8 to 10 ha)
- The F252S has 1 low and 1 high exit. This machine is smaller than the F252 and can be used in rows of 2m wide..
- The F152 has only one exit below and therefore less capacity then the F252 (2 to 4 ha). It’s ideal for smaller, narrow plots.
