Connect by pattison

The fall of 2020 brings exciting news with the release of the newest Connect Sprayer. The Sniper is in a class of its own for Pull-Types with the latest technology integrated into the spraying system. This implement will become the go-to applicator on your farm for fertilizer top dressing and herbicide application. With today’s high clearance market, the cost to purchase a new self-propelled sprayer can be in excess of $600,000! We are introducing an alternative means to fill the sprayer gap on the farm with our Connect Pull-Type models. You get the best quality products at a third of the cost.

As our farm has expanded to 15,000 acres. we where at a point where at certain times we needed or could use the extra spraying capacity.  Specifically at herbicide timing, when at times we should be doing first pass Canola at the same time as cereals.

With the cost of new high clearance sprayers very high and being in the situation that two high clearance sprayers would be more then we need we started thinking about pull types as a good way for us to fill the gap.  We did a lot of research and number crunching before deciding to go with the Connect Sprayer from Pattison. At 1600 gals and all the new technology you would find on a new high clearance we thought this would be a good asset on the farm.  The Raven Hawkeye system with individual nozzle control saved us 2-4 percent over our current 11 section self propelled unit.  The circulating boom and new Raven boom high control systems worked very well.  On the farm we have numerous MDFW tractor and or 4WD’s that could pull the connect sprayer and are not being utilized at this time during the year.  With equipment costs continuing to move higher each year, we felt that for roughly a 1/3 of the cost of a high clearance sprayer this would be a great option to help fill the gap and get better utilization of our equipment.

The unit exceeded our expectations and worked very well and also is quite a simple system. The fact that it also will be ready and can be used with the DOT autonomous platform is a bonus as well. We where able to operate comfortable at 12mph and could cover a good 1/4 section or 160 acres in about 75-minutes which is just a bit longer then it would take to cover with our 120-foot high clearance sprayer.

The team at Pattison was great to work with and was very responsive to any issues we had and helped us work through the learning curves of setting up and operating a new machine. I would highly recommend taking a close look at this unit for your operation.  The innovation we see coming out of western Canada and a dedicated team behind it gave us the confidence to try the Connect system out. We have been very happy with the results and feel confident in working with the great team at Pattison Liquids Systems.
