Hardi presents new Alpha evo for agriculture

Ergonomics, Visibility and Optimization

Longer spraying days and nights and higher spraying speeds place heavier demands on comfort and easy operation.

ALPHA evo features a fine balance between front and rear and has a low total weight giving an optimal weight/capacity ratio and high performance even under wet field conditions. Also the high ground clearance from 61 in./67 in. gives a flexible usage from low to tall crops like sweet corn and sunflowers.

Optimizes visibility with 3-pillar design

The new large spacious EvoCab II is specifically developed by HARDI with its “3-pillar design”, which provides a new standard for visibility with more than 320° around the sprayer.

The cabin is equipped with a pressurization system, a dust filtering of fresh air, an aerosol and vapor filtering to protect the driver and fulfill the Class 4 requirements.

The new climate control system has been tested intensively in the climate chamber in order to bring the highest driver comfort in the warmest condition.

By equipping the ALPHA with the optional FloatRide, the standard coil spring suspension is replaced by airbags. This ensures even more boom stability and maintains the balance of the ALPHA in a strong slope. The chassis’ height will be maintained whatever tank volume.

By allowing for individual wheel movement, the ALPHA provides maximum comfort, even at high spraying speeds through wheel travel of 33 mph.

Hydraulic Track width Adjustment

The ALPHA evo EcoDrive with FloatRide suspension can be equipped with Hydraulic Track width Adjustment. This Hydraulic Track width Adjustment axle allows a track width from 88 to 126 in. (depending on tire dimensions).

The driver will set his track width from the cab display and will be ready to drive. This will allow changing track width from the road to the field and from cereal crop to maize, row crop or vegetable with a variation of 1 m between minimum and maximum.
