The ComfortDriveFlex chassis has its wheels mounted on a movable frame. This gives the machine unique flexibility to adjust track width and ground clearance – the optimum set-up for every crop.
The front cab on a central frame and the parallelogram-mounted boom give optimum axle weight distribution (almost 50:50) – in the field and on the road.
This frame design allows a working tank of up to 8,000 l and stands out for its smooth ride and stable handling.
TrackControl
Hydraulic track width adjustment, conveniently from the cab: 2.60–3.50 m or 3.00–4.10 m * (* with 380 mm tyres; track width depends on tyre size and transmission type).
ClearanceControl
Variable ground clearance of 1.60–2.00 m – mechanical or hydraulic.
Intelligent powerful drive
Infinitely variable individual hydrostatic drive for each wheel
Intelligent four-wheel drive: traction is redistributed dynamically
Selective traction control on each wheel
Larger-displacement hydraulic motors on the rear wheels give the VL the traction reserve it needs for any terrain
Comfortable automatic driving mode
Economical and efficient
Powerful drive
Large-diameter tyres – always the optimum ground pressure
Large tyres up to 2.18 m tall and 75 cm wide
Maximum footprint
Optimum torque transfer in difficult conditions
Stable boom with automatic guidance
Stable design with patented suspension
Wind-resistant parallelogram suspension – hydraulic damping and compensation
The patented parallelogram suspension with centre-section control prevents the boom from swinging in turns and on headlands
The stable design ensures smooth boom travel and an accurate distance to the target surface in any conditions.
Nozzles protected against mechanical damage and spray fans protected against wind.
BoomControl
Automatic boom guidance at low height, including at high working speeds and on flat terrain.
Reliable, confident boom guidance at less than 50 cm from the target surface.
Minimal spray drift.
Fully independent boom suspension.
No compromise between damping and free suspension.
Active ground following with control sensors (up to 6).
AutoSelect pneumatic nozzle switching
Nozzles at 25 or 50 cm spacing with pneumatic switching of different combinations.
The AutoSelect system lets you choose the optimum nozzle combination, working pressure and boom height – comfortable, reliable premium control.
With pneumatic nozzle switching, up to 42 part-width sections in the desired configuration and automatic switching-off of part of the working width with SectionControl are possible.
