The Patriot Series from Case International comes in three models. The Patriot 3230 brings a 220-hp 6.7-litre six-cylinder turbocharged Case IH NEF diesel engine with a tank size of 800 U. S. gallons. The bigger 3330 has a 250 hp 6.7-litre engine with a tank size of 1,000 U. S. gallons, and the largest, the 4420, boasts a 290-hp, 8.3-litre engine with a tank capacity of 1,200 U. S. gallons. Boom widths range from 60 to 120 feet.
Case IH emphasizes that its “Cab forward design” offers better weight distribution, which helps minimize soil compaction even with a full product tank. The Surveyor cab also enhances comfort and visibility in order to boost productivity by reducing operator fatigue. This is further increased with what the company describes as its “aircraft-style suspension,” designed to reduce driver fatigue and also to extend boom life by absorbing both vertical and lateral shock loads.

Each Patriot sprayer comes with the “AIM Command” spray system. This offers independent pressure control where the operator can manage droplet size to match field conditions without changing tips, speed or rate. This enables the operator to increase the average field speed, control drift on the go, and maximize chemical utilization and limit off-target application risk.
