Part of the Royal Horticultural Society, Rosemoor garden near
Great Torrington in Devon, needs no introduction.
In need of upgrading their
sprayer, Rosemoor has taken delivery of a KUHN Actis P300.
Fitted with chemical
incorporator, rinsing tank and two rear-mounted hose reels (50m) the sprayer was
supplied by recently appointed KUHN Amenity Pro dealer, H Curtis & Sons from
Pensford near Bristol.
Initially convinced by the outlook of the sprayer, Philip
Peard from RHS Rosemoor says "The sprayer is a good compact design, so the
weight is not a problem for a small tractor (not too far back). The controls for
the induction hopper and the flush tank are easily accessible & easy to use
once you get use to them. We found that there is only less than 200ml left in
the tank after wash down which is a lot better than our old
sprayer".
KUHN take extra care in the design and shape of their tanks,
resulting in interesting features such as reducing foaming; an issue on Rosemoor
previous sprayer.
The KUHN Amenity Pro range offer a wide range of sprayers
ideally suited for nursery, greenhouse applications.
Starting at 50 litres
capacity, the sprayer can be tailored to suit individual requirements following
a comprehensive list of options.
The Actis P300 currently used by RHS Rosemoor
is 300L tank fitted with induction hopper, rinsing tank, fresh water tank and
two 50m hose reels operated via manual controls.
