The focus is on cab comfort, which is important during the many hours of operation. The sound insulation protects hearing, reduces stress and allows focused driving. A three-layer category 4 air filter is available for the Nova as required. There is permanent overpressure in the cab, which prevents any vapours from entering. An automatic air-conditioning system, a Bluetooth radio and plenty of storage space improve working comfort.
The operator has a full overview from the air-suspended seat. All controls are ergonomically located in the armrest. The latest-generation joystick with numerous function keys can be freely configured according to the user's needs. The application technology is controlled by the proven LEMKEN MegaSpray on CCI 800 or CCI 1200 terminals. It includes section and flow control, a GPS guidance system and job management. Agrirouter, the cross-brand data exchange platform, ensures communication with the farm management system in the office.
The Nova chassis is fitted with a telescopic axle allowing the track width to be adjusted from 1,8 to 2,3 metres. Hydraulic track adjustment is available as an option. Tyres from 300 to 650 millimetres wide can be used. Thanks to all-wheel steering, the rear axle follows the path of the front axle perfectly. This protects the crop as well as the high ground clearance of 1,20 metre. For particularly tall crops, there is a hydraulic chassis lift of up to 1,60 metres. Independent wheel suspension with hydropneumatic springing makes for a particularly smooth ride and also keeps the boom balanced on uneven terrain.
The aluminium boom is robust and lightweight. LEMKEN's AdaptiveBalancingControl (ABC) with proactive automatic guidance ensures optimal boom alignment and the correct distance from the surface to be treated. Up to five sensors allow the individual boom sections to adapt directly to variations within the crop or terrain. In the booms, the continuous circulation system with individual nozzle control ensures precise application and minimal residual tank leftovers.
The 55-litre induction bowl has a drift-free rim sprayer and is suitable for receiving closed transfer system (CTS) canisters. Its height can be adjusted for good ergonomics. The water circuit can be easily operated via a colour screen just above it. The high-strength PE tank has very smooth walls. The clean water tank has a capacity of 660 litres. Electrically controlled injector agitation automatically keeps the mixture in the tank homogeneous depending on the level. The tank bottom drains completely.
The LEMKEN Nova will be available from mid-2020.
