Based in Quebec, Gregson has launched a new line of Hi-Tech sprayers in 500-, 750-, 1,000-, 1,250-and 1,500-gallon units with booms 60 to 120 feet. These sprayers incorporate new features, including full-length baffles and a sloped bottom for better drainage. As well, the Gregson Hi-Tech sprayers feature very clean plumbing to reduce pressure drops and make them easier to maintain.
These sprayers also have interesting design features, such as a centre pivot with shock absorbers for self-stabilizing, plus hydraulic pumps placed at the centre of the sprayer, immediately at the sump. From there a two-inch hose takes the spray solution into three to 10 boom valves depending on boom size.
