John Deere’s self-propelled 500R sprayer will be making its first appearance at Cereals where it will take part in the Sprays and Sprayers Arena demonstrations, as well as lining up alongside the 300M and R975i on the stand.
Developed to meet the needs of those looking for the ultimate in cab comfort, spray accuracy, droplet quality and precision telematics, the 550R and the 540R have tank capacities of 5,000 litres or 4,000 litres respectively. Both have the option of a 30m or 36m steel boom – capacity and boom span are the only key differences in what is otherwise two almost identical standard specifications.
The sprayer won’t be the only new piece of equipment this year, says Chris Wiltshire, John Deere’s tactical marketing manager for the UK & Ireland. “We will have more news to share before the event gets underway, so there will be several very good reasons to come to our stand at what should be a really great show in its new location,” he said.
