Engineered for the CaseIH® Trident™ high clearance chassis, the AB260CS pneumatic applicator can comfortably cover more than 90 acres per hour at 12 miles per hour. That’s over 14% more than the leading competitor.
With 80’ air booms and a two-compartment hopper for multi-product, variable rate, application, the AB260CS offers the greatest efficiency in the field. The new boom system has fewer moving parts and a tighter fold for greater operator visibility in road transport and the enhanced hopper means fewer fills and stops.
The AB260CS2 has an 80-foot working width engineered for stability at high operating speeds. The 80-foot span is over 14% greater than the next largest pneumatic applicator on the market. This working width can also be paired with many controlled traffic patterns to minimize soil compaction.
The hydraulic boom suspension allows for greater in-field stability at higher operating speeds and can be adjusted in-cab to maintain height in rolling terrain. The bi-fold booms are built with spring-protected break-away tips and boom skis are fitted to help further reduce the risk of tip damage during a boom ground strike. Enhanced mid-boom breakaway features allow the operator to fold the boom even if an object has been struck, breaking the shear bolt. The new boom system has fewer moving parts and has a tighter flat-fold for greater visibility during road transport.
The long-life, 304 stainless steel bin screens prevent large clumps of fertilizer and foreign material from being fed into the system and causing material flow issues at the funnel or through other systems.
Prescription variable rate control is handled through the CaseIH Viper 4+, with the Rave RCM™ software. Operators get a simple and intuitive interface. Left and right sections can be operated manually through the multi-function handle or automatically using sectional control. The fan is operated using a PWM valve and controlled through the Raven RCM controller. The fold controls match the wet boom system, simplifying use and reducing operator training time.
