With precision spraying technology on a meteoric rise, it may seem like your equipment is falling behind. Some available upgrades could mean you don't have to put your sprayer out to pasture just yet.
The Italian company ARAG Precision Technology has recently opened a distribution subsidiary in the United States in a move to expand operations. The company works with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) for first fit and also produces aftermarket parts to retrofit older sprayers, spreaders, and planters. Its catalog has more than 12,000 items, including GPS and computer monitoring systems inside the cab, nozzles, valves, and spraying tips.
"If you look at our catalog, it's as thick as the New York White Pages," says Jeff Happe, North American president for ARAG. "We provide a solution for everything from touch to tip." In addition to work done for manufacturers, ARAG also designs parts to update old spraying machinery to meet the standards of new precision systems.
