The Steketee Multispray is specially developed for weed control in all row crops. This method enables applying Round-Up on crops. The Multispray is best mounted on the tractor front in combination with the Steketee Front Linkage Device. The Multispray consists of a bearer with two furrow wheels and drawbar points for mounting on the front linkage device. Elements consisting of adjustable U-profiles are fitted to the bearer. This U-profile protects the crop from the pesticide used. A spraying set with self-closing spray nozzle is mounted in between these U-profiles. The self-closing cap has a Lo-Drift nozzle. Utilising a Lo-Drift nozzle reduces the spray drift considerably. The spray set can be continuously adjusted in height. The machine is completed witch a header plus close textured filter. The Multispray assembly is protected by toothed plates at the front and lateral sides.
