With the country that Agri Contracting covers ranging from tame pasture to extreme conditions, a vehicle that could go anywhere was needed for use in plantation spraying. A six-wheel machine has been converted into a spraying machine which has a clearance of about one metre and will virtually go anywhere. It's able to drive over stumps and rocks with relative ease.

     

The Interrowers are purpose built spray rigs that are designed to apply two different chemical mixtures simultaneously. A hooded boom sprays between the mounds with end jets spraying over the mounds or over the trees. The units are telescopic for varying mound widths from 3.5m to 5m.
