The AGCO brand’s smallest model has arrived in Australia via local spraying specialist Croplands.
Launching in autumn 2014, Croplands says the RG700 is equipped with the latest technology systems and features an application specific cab design that maximises operator comfort and safety.
The company adds the 2650-litre machine is built with the same durability as its larger brothers but is designed to deliver just the right level of power and weight for the requirements of the professional farmer.
The RG700 features an AWD Smart Drive System, even weight distribution and Parallel C-channel flex frames to provide consistent field speed without shifting as well as traction with all four wheels remaining on the ground.
The Smart Drive System maximises machine performance and minimises fuel consumption by ensuring the engine, hydrostat and drive motors all work together.
Other key features of the RG700 include:
- A high-torque 165hp engine
- Adjustable track widths in two axle configurations (narrow and standard) allowing for multiple track widths to operate through a wide variety of crops, crop heights and field conditions.
- Six-post cab design with a panoramic front windshield and curved windows for visibility
- Folded booms that rest below the sightlines for better road visibility
- Wide platforms and lower first step for easier and safer access
- Efficient reload station design for a quicker and safer chemical reload process
- Latest technology such as sprayer and boom height controllers, assisted steering systems, RoGator Management Centre and AGCOMMAND telemetry system
Croplands Self-Propelled Product Manager Steve Norton says the company has been receiving orders from dealers even before the machines landed in the country.
“There is very strong interest in this machine from farmers and contractors alike,” he says.
“We really see the RG700 as a great fit for applicators hat are looking to maximise their production and efficiency while minimising their machine weight and application costs.”
