Homburg Holland has developed a self-propelled spraying machine in collaboration with machine builder Widontec in Veghel: the Homburg HeroW. This self-propelled driver responds to the demand from open-field vegetable growers, arable farmers, arborists and contractors for compact, manoeuvrable self-propelled drivers with plenty of ground clearance and maximum visibility.
Homburg HeroW
With a tank capacity of 3,000 liters, the HeroW H430 has a higher spray capacity, but it remains a compact self-propelled driver, especially with the latest cabin for even more visibility. The self-propelled driver is available in two axle versions. Hydraulic adjustable from 1,500mm to 1,800mm as standard or optionally continuously hydraulically adjustable from 1,800mm to 2,250mm. The H4 series can achieve a maximum driving speed of 45 kilometers per hour. The HeroW H430 also meets the latest exhaust gas emission standards.
Features of the HeroW
Optimum visibility
Comfort is paramount in the cab. The driver’s seat guarantees clear visibility, space and tranquility. Thanks to the design and the four mirrors, the driver has a clear view all around, both on the road and in the field. Glass panels next to the seat make the front wheels clearly visible, which is especially useful when growing outdoor vegetables. The cab has standard climate control with activated carbon filters and positive pressure.
The power and manoeuvrability of the Homburg HeroW
The Homburg HeroW has 2-wheel steering, 4-wheel drive, a wheelbase of 2.45 meters and variable track width. The robust chassis allows the use of the air-assisted 30-meter HARDI TwinForce spray boom. The Deutz TCD3.6 L4 engine and hydrostatic drive are on the rear axle, with a 3,000-liter water tank in the center. In the front are a 500-liter fresh water tank and a 135-liter fuel tank. This weight distribution provides excellent maneuverability and stability for the HeroW.
Variable track width
The Homburg HeroW can be fitted with an optional variable hydraulic track adjustment feature (max. 0.30 m). This makes it possible, for instance, to have a track width of 1.50m in the field and 1.80m on the road for greater stability. For growers who have different rows of crops this track adjustment comes in very handy. Other track width combinations are available on request. The ground clearance is 85 centimeters on tire size 11.2.R32 at the front and 12.4.R46 at the rear. Other sizes are possible. Thanks to the large wheel angle (50°), the Homburg HeroW is very maneuverable. Even with a track width of 1.50 meters, the turning circle remains limited to a radius of only 4.50 meters. With this, Homburg HeroW distinguishes itself emphatically in the self-propelled vehicle market.
