Sprayer transforms farm’s operations
8th October 2024
At W. H. Gittins & Sons, the integration of the Agrifac Condor Vanguard into their farming operations has marked a significant shift in efficiency, comfort, and work-life balance.
Sam Dutton, manager at W. H. Gittins & Sons, explains: “The choice of 25cm nozzle spacing and the inclusion of the PWFM system, which offers individual nozzle control, have drastically reduced chemical overlap, leading to substantial savings.
Additionally, the Condor Vanguard’s 15% reduction in fuel consumption per hour compared to previous equipment has made the investment economically sound.”
Steven Forbes, the head sprayer operator, manages around 4,000 acres and praises the machine’s reliability and comfort. He has seen a remarkable improvement in productivity, now able to cover 400 acres by mid-afternoon, leaving time for personal activities. The machine’s 288hp engine, smooth operation over tough terrains, and easy maintenance have exceeded their expectations. “I even have time left to play cricket with my kids!” he says. Who wouldn’t want that kind of efficiency and extra time in their day?”
The robust support from SOS Agricultural in Shrewsbury has only bolstered their confidence. “For anyone considering an Agrifac, I recommend a demo. The Condor Vanguard is more than just a sprayer; it’s a comprehensive solution that enhances productivity and comfort, transforming daily operations,” says Steven.
