HORTICULTURE BUYERS’ GUIDEFrequentlyAsked QuestionsQ My tractor doesn’t have the hydraulic capacity to run thenumber of Quantum Mist fans that I need, what can I do?A A self contained, PTO driven, hydraulic powerpack for fandrive is available as an option on Quantum Mist sprayers.Q Because of varied crop conditions and foliage densities,I will need to run my Quantum Mist at different fanspeeds during the year. How will I know how fast thefans are spinning?A Single or multi fan speed (rpm) sensors are available forthese sprayers as well as electric fan speed control, so itcan all be controlled from the tractor cab using theHV4000 controller.Q Can the airflow be regulated on the Quantum Mist head?A Yes, you can electronically or manually adjust hydraulic oilflow which in turn varies fan speed. The electronic versionrequires a HV4000 controller to be fitted.Q My vineyard has a mixture of row spacings and I want tobe able to cover this.A The Quantum Mist is available with hydraulic outer-rowadjust as an option, or comes standard with manual rowwidth adjustment.Q I am looking to update my old sprayer and purchase aQuantum Mist. What support from Croplands is available tohelp me?A We have a number of key sales and service staff who workclosely with our dealer network to ensure the delivery, setup and operation run smoothly.Q Can a GPS device be used as a speed input on the autoratecontrollers?A Both the MT3405 and HV4000 are compatible to use witha GPS sensor in lieu of wheel magnets and sensors.Note some crop canopies may interfere with the GPS signal reception.Q The vines do not look to be getting as wet using theQuantum Mist with these lower water rates as they didwith my old sprayer at 1000 L/Ha.A The turbulent air and fine droplets ensures the spray volumepenetrates right into the canopy. The more you get in, theless you can see from the outside. 1000 L/Ha is a volumedesigned to reach the point of run-off which naturally lookswet. The concentrate volume used with the Quantum Mistcan achieve the same or better coverage by using lesswater. It is not the wetness but the coverage that makes agood application. When we run trials using dye in differentspray equipment and check the coverage at night, theresults from the Quantum Mist will show coverage on allsides of the foliage and penetrating right into the grapebunch, as opposed to an air blast machine that generallyonly covers one side of a leaf.Q How easy is it to set up the Quantum Mist for optimumcoverage in different canopy growth stages?A Very simple!1. In many cases you may only need one nozzle set up forthe whole season.2. You only need a 19mm and 24mm spanner to loosenthree bolts to adjust the fan heads.3. Fan speed can be adjusted from the tractor seat whenfitted with the HV4000 controller and optional electricfan speed control.Q Can I manage drift better by using the Quantum Mist?A Yes, a correct Quantum Mist setup directs the sprayvolume into the canopy, not up in the air. If the fanspeed is matched to the canopy most of the spray will beretained within.Q My vineyard has limited space at the end of rows, what isthe best option to move in and out of the headland?A The self-steer drawbar is designed to make turning easierby ensuring the sprayer tracks with the tractor.Q How can I be sure that good coverage will be achieved withthe Quantum Mist?A Scientific trial analysis has been done by independentindustry experts David Manktelow and Geoff Furness,and set-up guidelines are available on DVD. Reports areavailable from info@croplands.com.auQ One of our properties has sloped plantings, what is the bestsetup for this?A Take a look at the left or right terracing kits, these can alsobe setup with in-cab controllers so you don’t need to get outto make the adjustments.18
