Chavtrac announce new engine and sprayer management systems for the 1998 Chaviot 2000

As the Chaviot 2000 enters its 8^th year of production Chavtrac announce improvements designed to maintain its position as the UK's best selling mechanically driven 2000 litre sprayer.

• The 2000 litre sprayer system is now controlled by the Raven SCS 460 controller. Chavtrac are UK distributors for this range of American sprayer control equipment. The SCS 460 has an extremely fast response to speed and flow changes and provides accurate control at all speeds. The SCS 460 controls pump speed rather than fluid flow and thus reduces power requirement when high outputs are not required. The SCS 460 is extremely easy to calibrate and program and users and dealers have been very impressed with the accuracy of the new system which is fully GPS compatible .
• A new electronic engine management system monitors engine condition and warns the operator of any faults. The VDO Logic unit has been developed for marine applications and is intended to protect and control engines operating without supervision.
  • In normal operation the operator sees only a tachometer and a single LCD display - normally indicating fuel level.
  • The VDO Logic unit constantly monitors Engine RPM, Fuel level, Oil Pressure and Engine Temperature and should any of these indicate a fault ie Overspeed, Low fuel, Low Oil, or Overheat then a visual and audible warning will operate.
  • In addition the system automatically keeps track of service intervals and provides a tamper proof engine hour counter. This system allows the operator to concentrate on the operation of his sprayer.
• The Chaviot 2000 provides the farmer and contractor with a proven, high output Self Propelled sprayer system. The simple mechanical drive system gives higher performance than hydrostatic sprayers with lower operating and maintenance costs. Prices are unchanged for 1998 with the basic 2000 litre /18m unit at £43,000.00.
