Chavtrac announce new engine and sprayer management
systems for the 1998 Chaviot 2000
As the Chaviot 2000 enters its 8th 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.
