The all-new, cutting-edge LM Linkage Sprayer with fully hydraulic M-fold boom will be onsite

The LM Linkage range is a product of BA Pumps & Sprayers’ 35 years of experience developing and building sprayers.

Helping ensure farmers can achieve a safe, highly efficient operation in almost any terrain, LM sprayers can be specified with a 900- or 1150-litre tank. The unique T-shaped tank reduces the amount of mud and debris that can collect on controls and access areas and ensures weight is distributed forward for optimal performance.

Chemical loading is easy and efficient, thanks to the built-in waist-height induction hopper. For operator safety, there’s a built-in flush tank and handwash tank. The pump and lines are easy to clean, helping maintain the spraying system integrity. LM sprayers have Bertolini 75-litre Poly Pumps, which can handle liquid fertiliser. In-cab electric control allows the operator to switch on and off or adjust pressure on the move.

Auto rate control, GPS, and ISOBUS-ready upgrades are available for advanced operations, which means the LM Series can fit into a precision agriculture operation.

The M boom is available exclusively on LM Series sprayers. It offers full wing lift and hydraulic fold functionality from just two hydraulic remotes. M booms are available in 10-metre or 12-metre variants, and they can cover up to 18 metres with an optional factory-fitted fence line kit.

The boom opens and closes hydraulically. Folding is activated from the tractor seat and no operator intervention is required.

M folding and full wing lift enable farmers to get the productivity benefits of a 12-metre boom, even when working in rolling country. Built-in breakaways enhance safety and prevent damage to the equipment by clearing obstacles during spraying. Also, the smooth outer shape of the LM minimises fence hook-ups and ensures uninterrupted spraying.
BA Pumps & Sprayers general manager Mark Harris says the LM Linkage Sprayer can save farmers up to 50% on spraying times.

“It’s a world-first design, built for New Zealand’s local conditions. LM sprayers prioritise safety, efficiency, and durability. It’s so innovative that the LM Series and M Boom is a finalist in the Fieldays Innovation Awards,” says Mark.

As well as the LM Series, the BA stand at Fieldays will feature their other linkage sprayers, including the 1000- and
1300-litre LS Series plus the 1600- and 1900-litre LK Series. There will also be a selection of trailed and deck mount sprayers for those smaller spray jobs.

“Fieldays is a great way to connect with farmers and contractors and we’re excited that we can take the LM sprayer out to market for a closer look,” says Mark.

BA Pumps & Sprayers are at stand C30 at Fieldays, 12–15 June, Mystery Creek.
