CONNECT SNIPER-WEED-IT
The next generation of pull-type sprayers.
The Sniper is in a class of its own for Pull-Types with the latest technology integrated into the spraying system. The WEED-IT Series of Connect Snipers are designed to save your farm money on input costs by only spraying what you need to.
Why use your expensive high clearance to do jobs easily done by the Connect Sniper? Leave your high clearance parked in the shed for spring and fall applications, then bring it out for in crop applications.
We are introducing an alternative means to fill the spraying gap on the farm with our Connect Pull-Type models. You get the best quality products at a third of the cost.

WEED-IT Quadro
WEED-It Quadro once again sets the standards for precision spraying. Effective weed detection and elimination is becoming increasingly important in today’s growing environment with less precipitation, limitations on herbicide usage and resistant weeds. To help growers combat weeds more effectively, precision spraying specialist Rometron introduces WEED-IT Quadro: the next generation spot spraying.
The new WEED-IT Quadro incorporates 10 years of worldwide experience with the current WEEDit Ag system. Quadro refers to the four detection zones of every WEED-IT detection sensor, each accounting for 25 cm of the entire spray boom width. The extra small zones with improved optics make sure the system never misses any weed. Whereas this additional accuracy is easily missed by the human eye, the new blue LED-lighting is not. Blue LED’s have proven to be more sensitive to weeds and less sensitive to background noise and thus more efficient compared to the red LED-lighting used to date. Blue is the new colour of the next generation of spot spraying technology.
Adding to the increased accuracy and efficiency is the new dual core processor for fast communication and high sampling frequency. It guarantees higher communication speeds that would be needed to enable VRA, weed and biomass mapping and working with application maps in the future.
Features & Benefits
- Robust detection sensors
- Fast PMW solenoids
- The right spray rate at the right place
- Work day and night
- Automatic background calibration
- Dual spraying
- Fits on every sprayer
- One single recirculating wet boom line
Additional Operating Modes
The improved pulse width modulation (PWM) nozzle control is capable of individual flow control per nozzle and this opens the technology up for two additional operating modes:
- Dual spraying
- Cover mode
This means, that with the new WEED-IT system, you can not only use the system in spot spraying mode to target all living green material on fallow land. In dual spraying, you can apply low application rates (like 30 l/ha) full width and higher rates (like 100 l/ha) with just one spray line. WEED-IT is the only manufacturer capable of offering dual spraying technology! And in cover mode, WEED-IT acts as a normal sprayer with pulse width modulation to be able to vary the rate continuously.
