How To Perform Crop Sprayer Maintenance For Spring

Right now, the ground is frozen, but soon spring will begin to thaw everything out, and it’ll be time to get back in the field. Owners love taking their crop sprayer out of hibernation and starting it up for the first time. However, we always recommend conducting a full seasonal inspection beforehand. The same way you winterize your sprayer, it’s important to check your crop sprayer at the start of spring for any potential issues that need repairing.

Our Apache Agricultural Sprayers are built tough and the best way to have your equipment last a lifetime is to perform the proper maintenance. It doesn’t matter if you own an earlier model BRUIN HS1100 or NEW AS1050 Sprayer – conducting a full inspection is a must before hitting the field.

Crop Sprayer

Performing Crop Sprayer Inspection

When performing a sprayer inspection, you’ll want to prepare to spend 8-10 hours. This will provide enough time to inspect all of the sprayer components. We suggest using a checklist that includes the engine, hydraulic and dropbox oils, air intakes, lights, accumulators, tire pressures, air conditioners and cab filters, chemical tanks, booms and spray nozzles, and onboard field computers. If you’re unsure what parts to inspect or fluids to use with your model, refer to the Apache Operator’s Manual for servicing recommendations and specifications.

Here’s a breakdown of what is commonly performed during a spring inspection. 

Basics

Similar to a car or truck, start the inspection by checking the oil and tire pressure. Reference your manual for recommended tire pressure and oils to use. You don’t want to use regular oil if your model calls for 80/90 weight or vice versa.

Crop Sprayer

Air Intakes

Pull off the air cleaner and check for animal nests. The tubes can make a cozy winter hideaway for small animals, such as birds or mice.

Accumulators

If your sprayer is equipped with accumulators used for stabilizing the boom and suspension, it’s necessary to keep these devices fully charged. Sprayer Dealers are equipped to test and service accumulators if you suspect an issue. 

Air Conditioning

Don’t get stuck on a hot day with a broken air conditioning system. Turn the system on and check for blowing cool air. If the system is blowing hot air, it will most likely need repairs. 

Chemical Tank 

The chemical tank straps should be tight. However, they can become worn and stretched over time. Operating a crop sprayer with loose chemical tank straps could cause an accident. So, don’t forget to check the straps during the inspection.

Booms & Spray Nozzles

Take time to carefully examine the booms and spray nozzles for cracks and leaks. Also, check booms for extreme wear and test folding operation. 

Crop Sprayer Boom & Spray Nozzels

Field Computers

Stay up to date with data from the field. If your field computers are cold, bring them indoors. Plug the computers into an outlet and check if they’re working.

Crop Sprayer Field Computer

Save Time & Money 

Inspecting your sprayer before the busy season can save you time and money. If there are issues, you can count on a Sprayer Dealer to get your fertilizer equipment back in working order. Don’t forget to refer to your Apache Operator’s Manual for model specifications. We’re always here to help and love to hear from our Apache family – contact ET today.

APACHE SPRAYERS INCLUDE NEW MODELS AND ENHANCEMENTS

The 2022 Apache lineup is here. Farmers already know that each year our sprayers are the most reliable and efficient on the market. This year is no exception, with exciting new models and enhancements. We always strive to create the best value sprayers that work as hard as you do. And rest assured, whichever model you choose, you can’t go wrong with Apache.

This year we’re proud to celebrate 25 years of providing premium performance and unbeatable value to our customers, from our leading 5-year warranty to being the only 4-time winner of the “Highest Retained Value” award by EquipmentWatch™ across all equipment and Ag categories – not just sprayers. Our goal has always been to innovate and provide value year after year.

Don’t just take our word for it; Apache customers say it best:

“The Apache is my first self-propelled sprayer, and as a first-generation farmer, it was a big step to upgrade from a pull-behind. Not only has my Apache paid for itself, but the fact that I still own the machine today after 7 years says a lot about the value- It is light and nimble and the structure is sound. It’s been a really good machine.”

Eric Orem, 1st Generation Wheat Farmer

“We are 4th generation farmers out of south-central Illinois, and we farm around 6,000 acres of soybean and corn. Being able to cover a massive amount of acres in a day is so critical. Having a sprayer that is dependable, and has a large capacity, like the one we have with Apache is not just efficient, but necessary if you are going to be a top producer.”

— Brad Damery, 4th Generation Farmer

2022 HS1100 HYDROSTATIC SPRAYER

This year, our HS1100 offers an upgrade to the interior for a more modern feel. This high clearance sprayer is equipped with a 60″-70″ crop clearance that adjusts hydraulically on the go with a push of a button and is engineered for those seeking performance, maximum crop clearance, ease of use, and flexibility.

NEW CONSOLE

The modern operator interface is designed with the best ergonomic comfort in mind by utilizing the common joystick, display, digital keypad, and buttons, offering similar style and ease of operation of proven Apache models.

2022 AS SERIES MECHANICAL DRIVE SPRAYERS  

Our customers provide valuable feedback every year, and Equipment Technologies (ET) engineers use this information for continued product development. As a result, the new 2022 lineup includes the latest enhancements and Apache Sprayers patented POWER-TO-THE-GROUND™ technology, featured in Apache AS650, AS850, AS1050, and AS1250/XP agriculture sprayers.

The Model Year 2022 AS Series from left to right AS1250XP with Stainless Steel Tank AS1250, AS1050, AS850, and AS650.

IMPROVED OPERATOR RIDE

Enjoy a more comfortable ride. Our fluid elastic active “Hydrocone” cab isolators from AMC Mecanocaucho improve the ride as much as 50% by better absorbing shock and displacement of the chassis.

EASE OF STEERING

Our new variable displacement load-sense piston pump provides the right amount of hydraulic flow at all speeds while reducing steering effort by as much as 20% for ease of steering at headlands, hills, and tight corners.

BOOM RECIRCULATION

Helps in priming the boom before spraying, ensuring a precise and uniform spray pattern. It also reduces and/or eliminates product settling in boom pipes, enables accessible and complete cleanout of the booms, detects spray mode vs. recirculation mode automatically, and works with different precision options such as individual nozzle control, section control, etc. with built-in low-flow alert.

3 Reasons Apache Sprayers are Better

When it comes to investing in a farm sprayer there are a lot of facts to consider. You work hard for your money and you want to make sure you’re getting the most value and maximum productivity from your farm equipment. That’s why we produce the best, most efficient, and affordable agricultural sprayers in the industry and back it with the best warranty on the market. Keep reading to find out the 3 reasons Apache Sprayers are better.


1. Return on Investment

Value is always a factor to consider when investing in farm equipment and agricultural sprayers are no exception. After all, farming is a business, and return on investment matters. In fact, Apache Sprayers are favored by profit-focused farmers who want the highest possible return on their investment.

And speaking of return on investment, with Apache you can spray for as little as $3 an acre! But don’t just take our word for it because our customers say it best.

“The dependability, the pricing and the serviceability – it’s the complete package.  It was a no brainer to me.  our custom applicators were in the $5-$7 range.  We’re comfortably underneath $3/acre with our Apache sprayer and that would be a high number for me.”

Pervis Ellis Harrisburg, Illinois

In addition, Apache Sprayers by Equipment Technologies is one of the first in the U.S. to adopt Cummins Performance Series power- this means an increase in both power and savings. “With the new Cummins Performance Series engines, Apache sprayers receive a performance boost of up to 15% due to the increased power and torque available throughout the engine speed range. They are also more productive on the farm, saving farmers 8% in fuel with an overall combined fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) saving of 3%. Not only does this have significant environmental and sustainability benefits, but it also lowers operating costs – which is a big win for our customers.

AS1250 and AS1250XP Sprayers are equipped with Cummins Performance Series engine.

2. Best Warranty in the Industry

The best sprayer on the market is backed by the industry’s best warranty. Every Apache that rolls off the assembly line comes with a five-year limited warranty. Apache Sprayers by Equipment Technologies is the only manufacturer with full machine coverage for the first two years (<1,000 hrs).

While other Ag equipment manufacturers attempt to produce everything from combines to sprayers to lawn mowers, we have stayed true to our vision since the beginning. We focus all of our resources on creating the best agricultural sprayers in the industry and then we put all our cards on the table with the industry’s best 5-year powertrain warranty.

“For ET to be able to put a 5-year warranty on a piece of equipment says they definitely stand behind it and feel like they’ve done the best they can in building a quality product.”

Nate Kuntz Covington Ohio
All Apache Sprayers are built right here in America using common tools and parts. And when you need support your calls are answered right here in Indiana.

3. Highest Retained Value

Apache Sprayers is proud to deliver customers unbeatable value, year after In fact, this year EquipmentWatch™ named AS Series Sprayers as a four-time award winner for Highest Retained Value (across all product categories – not just sprayers). 

“For purchasers of equipment, there is perhaps no single measurement more influential in the buying decision process,” said Garrett Schemmel, Vice President of EquipmentWatch. “The residual value of an asset will have a significant impact on leasing terms and lifetime ownership costs. Informed buyers do well to weigh value retention heavily when considering equipment acquisition”.

“I think the retained value just goes to show how well these machines can hold up and how long they’ll last. I’ve kept track of how much my machine is worth today, and actually, I could sell it for about $20,000 more than what I bought it for three years ago.”

– Jared Wagner (Danville, Iowa)
“The Highest Retained Value Award is indicative of excellence across a manufacturing organization,” Schemmel said. “Product quality has the most obvious impact on an asset’s performance on the secondary market, but residual values are also highly impacted by brand affinity and fair original pricing. A manufacturer must excel on all three fronts to gain recognition as a Highest Retained Value Award winner.”

Dare to Compare: Apache Sprayers Cost Less, Weigh Less & Deliver More

Not all large capacity sprayers are created equal. In fact, when it comes to investing in a farm sprayer there are a lot of bells-and-whistles to consider. Keep reading to find out why Apache Sprayers consistently beat the competition.


Apache Sprayers Weigh Less

Heavier sprayers consume more fuel and can cause soil compaction. Ever wondered what makes them heavier in the first place? Typically, it’s due to additional parts and components that you may someday have to replace. More horsepower is required to move the machine and its chemical product load. Lighter sprayers like the Apache get the same job done while using less horsepower and fuel. Plus, they create less soil compaction for increased crop yields.

Did you know that Apache AS1250 weighs on average 68% less than the competition?

Simplicity, Reliability & Durability are Priceless

That is what you get with the simple mechanical drive and reliable Apache AS 1250 and AS1250XP. Built using common parts that are easily repaired using regular tools puts you in control and means less hassle. Less is truly more when it comes to price, weight, maintenance, and repairs. And don’t mistake simplicity for less comfort. The AS1250 and AS1250XP (Extra Power) comes equipped with features like independent air suspension that makes the AS1250 the smoothest ride in the field, and a leather seat for all-day comfort.

With the competition, you might lose a day or two waiting for a repair tech, causing an even bigger dent in your wallet. All Apache Sprayers are built right here in America using common tools and parts. That means when you need help your calls are answered right here in Indiana.

Apache Sprayers are made with common parts that can be repaired with common tools. And precision upgrades come equipped with 24/7 remote in cab service.

Because Value is Invaluable

Price is always a factor when investing in farm equipment and agricultural sprayers are no exception. After all, farming is a business, and return on investment matters and so does overall value and resale value. Value, Simplicity, and Reliability is what Apache Sprayers is known for and that’s why Apache Sprayers ranks #1 for the highest resale value in the industry by EquipmentWatch four times and counting!

Did you know that on average Apache Sprayer cost 34% less than the competition?

How does the Apache AS1250 stack up against the competition?

Apache Sprayers
Costs Less,
Weighs Less and
Delivers More.

In fact, other sprayers weigh up to 68% more and cost up to 34% more than Apache. Heavier sprayers consume more fuel and cause more soil compaction. Lighter sprayers like Apache get the same job – while using less horsepower and fuel – plus they create less soil compaction for increased crop yields. With the highest retained value and the best warranty in the industry. It’s never been a better time to own an Apache.
