Steep slopes, unforgiving potato ridges and plenty of rainfall are just a few of the reasons why Mungo and Joy Howat run a fleet of high-capacity mounted sprayers.
Unlike self-propelled machines, their four New Holland tractors offer plenty of traction, good brakes and a low centre of gravity.
Plus, they’re strong enough to handle the unforgiving workload without requiring a heavy maintenance regime.
Continuing the rugged theme, the tractors are teamed with custom-built 28m sprayers from Brechin-based manufacturer Scorgie.
Two of these are fitted with 1,500-litre tanks front and rear, with another benefiting from a larger 1,800-litre vessel at the rear.
