“Our aim with the Lite-Trac SS2400 series was to develop the highest capacity two-axle self-propelled sprayer available on the European market” says the firm’s managing director Paul McAvoy. “Our machines are extremely versatile and are capable of operating efficiently with the highest payloads, the biggest booms and the largest tanks available, without sacrificing manoeuvrability.”
The spec list on the SS2400/48 extends to pneumatic suspension and an on road top speed of 50km/hr. The unit can have GPS steering and automatic section control. The centrifugal pump is rated at 1,380 litres/min.
