Thoughts on Amazone UG3000 trailed sprayer

[Wheatdog]

Looking for peoples opinion on these sprayers, look a tidy machine,

I see there is linkage based and hook based steering systems, can anyone expand on these how they work etc

and general spec people feel is adequate/needed

 

[Wheatdog]

Surely someone on here must have/operate one??

i have one, it's a basic spec and simple to use. The drawbar steering on mine -mechanical- is not that good at following the tractor's marks so it doesn't get used. after about 3 years i noticed severe underdosing and got some orings in the distributor replaced. later i had a section motor go and that's about it regarding breakdowns. As i said, it's a simple spec with amaspray but it can also be specced with isobus, gps shutoff, line recirculation, motorized valves, single or dual pumps, hidraulic drawbar steering etc.

Thank you, is yours the drawbar that goes on link arms?
Also what size tractor you pull it on and how does it travel?

 

[radu]

Yes, on the link arms. Pulled it successfuly with a 85hp lightweight JD, now using a JD 6115M. All level land here. Fully loaded it weights around 6000 kg, usual spraying speed is around 11kph.

We had one for 5 years up until this season. Great simple sprayer. Very reliable!! I liked it a lot.

Thanks, what kinda spec was you running at and how did you find drawbar a tracking?

Basic spec. Tracking on linc arms. Worked ok but you had to learn how to drive. Turn too sharp or fast and booms would wap about. Did liquid fert with it too and worked well
