New Massey Ferguson sprayer combines performance and technology

Whatever the size of the cultivated area, whether on small, medium or large rural properties, spraying is one of the most important and demanding steps in the agricultural production cycle. To contribute to daily productivity, Massey Ferguson presents the MF 8225 sprayer to the market, designed to efficiently face field challenges.

“Technological advances in agriculture have also brought a new era of operational challenges. Therefore, our objective was to think of a product that is robust, reliable and available to work at the right time for each application, meeting all current needs in crop management, reducing environmental impacts, generating savings and optimizing rural work, highlights the Strategic Product Marketing supervisor AS Application Equipment at Massey Ferguson, Carlo Stella.

The MF 8225 combines low fuel consumption with high traction capacity, in addition to operational comfort. The onboard technology, such as the height and leveling sensor, allows gains of up to two bags per hectare and facilitates handling, avoiding waste of inputs in the most varied terrain and topography conditions, with uniform spraying and assertive quality. In addition, it has up to 237% greater fuel autonomy, helping to increase productivity.

Equipped with a 174 hp four-cylinder AGCO Power engine, designed specifically for agricultural use, the MF 8225 provides fuel savings of up to 60% compared to models on the market. It favors the operator when finishing crops, avoiding damage to the bar when using the finishing tip; When maintaining the spray circuit, the plugs at the ends of the boom sections facilitate cleaning. Its transmission system combined with the flexible chassis with independent axles makes it possible to operate on terrain with up to 32% slope depending on soil conditions, humidity and previous crop residue.

The equipment also has a spray controller with a 12,1” operator-friendly touch screen and management of the centrifugal spray pump using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) valve, improving application efficiency with quick responses to terrain fluctuations and, mainly, decoupling the engine rotation regime with flow control bringing significant gains in operations in double areas.
