Case Patriot sprayer has big features in a small chassis

Section control, high clearance and an FPT diesel engine, are just some of the features bundled into the 2,498 litre Patriot 2230 sprayer.

Case IH, high horsepower and sprayer product manager, Alyx Selsmeyer said the the Patriot 2230 has features which will appeal to a wide range of operators, particularly vegetable and cotton producers.  

“Its capabilities in the field are proof you can get all the features of a big sprayer in a small chassis package,” she said. 

“This is a cost-efficient machine with the Patriot DNA, consistent and accurate application every time in all conditions, great fuel economy and cab comfort that delivers on even the longest of days.”

Ms Selsmeyer said the 2230 features higher clearance then competitor models.

“It has the greatest distance from the ground to the lowest point on the underbelly of the machine, which, depending on what you’re producing, makes it very appealing,” she said.

Ms Selsmeyer said standard Patriot technologies, including auto-guidance, were included in the 2230.

While the Aim Command Flex spray system, available on request, would improve pressure and product flow control with greater precision than a conventional rate controller.

The 2230 also features a 130 to 142 kilowatt (175 to 190 horsepower) FPT engine, a standard Patriot cabin, automatic boom section and height control and an independent suspension system. 

Ms Selsmeyer said the sprayer was likely to appeal both to horticulture and cotton crops, requiring higher clearance, as well as those on smaller holdings. 

“The charm of the 2230 is that it’s an entry-level machine that doesn’t compromise on efficiency, durability or comfort,” she said.

The 2230 is available in either an 18.3/24.4 metre (60/80 foot) and 18.3/27.4m (60/90 ft) boom width, with 160 centimetre range of motion delivered by the parallel-link design.
