Features

Ultra Low Profile

Ultra low profile

We understood the dangers of climbing onto sprayers with chemical, or to see inside the tank. So with careful tank/chassis integration we’ve kept it compact and ultra low so that you can easily operate the sprayer from on the ground.

CoupleUp filling system

Filling’s a snap, fill as you normally would through the lid or with our unique CoupleUpTM 2” tank filling system, if you have a mixing station or trash pump you can fill directly using that pump, or you can also utilise the Katipo’s own pump to fill out of a trough or stream with an optional 10m filling hose.

Agitation flow

Agitation flow

To save you stripey paddocks, Hustler used the latest CAD flow simulation technology to create the perfect mix of fluid throughout the tank without dead spots

6 Metre DuraBoom

New Zealand’s toughest manual folding boom. The 6 metre DuraBoom with fully shielded AirMix nozzles, TaperLock pivots, Stainless tubes, quick fit anti-drip nozzles. Also available in 8 metres

Adjustable valve mount

Adjustable valve mount

The adjustable valve mount means when the sprayer is parked in the shed the valve can be adjusted out of harms way, then when you’re using the Katipo it can be adjusted forward so that it is easier to reach from the tractor.

ViziGauge

ViziGauge

A floating ball tube gauge makes it easy to read the calibrated ViziGauge that is visible from 120 degrees, so you can easily see from the tractor and the ground how much fluid you have left

Unique chassis design

Compact and built to last, it has the biggest section in its class! Careful attention to detail and unique chassis/tank/pump integration has allowed Hustler to produce the most compact sprayer available today. The Katipo’s chassis has been CAD tested for stress and real life tested for fatigue on our destroyer. It lasted in excess of 4 times the required benchmark.

Linkage plates

Linkage plates

ISO standard double clevis CAT 1 and CAT 2 linkage mounts are quicker to hook up and it doesn’t need to be parked on a pile of pallets

SkidPlate

SkidPlate

A built in SkidPlate protects the vital parts from damage should you misjudge a hump or hollow

Tank Drain

Tank drain

A high flow tank dump operated from the top of the tank saves you from climbing underneath to empty the tank and reduces clean up time.

Deep sump

A generous sump size is all part of the design, so that you can spray on steep terrain without sucking air and leaving missed patches

Toolbox and wash up

Toolbox and wash up

Integrated into the design is a handy toolbox that is quick and easy to open and has plenty of space for spare nozzles, filters and is also handy for storing controllers when the sprayer is not in use. It has a built in 18 litre tank for clean water so that you can wash your hands once finished filling.

3 Section controls

3 Section controls

3 section controls are standard with a pressure lock function which eliminates any accidental rate change and with our unique SlickFit system you can upgrade, or swap controls in a flash, as and when you like. The valves are protected and tidy behind the control mount.

Comet pump

New model 110l/min flow Comet pump. Any fluid is only in contact with either plastic or stainless steel parts which eliminates any chance of corrosion.

Large opening with spill catcher

Large opening with spill catcher

The larger 455mm lid to the tank with larger sieve, has a built in hinge so that you can’t lose the lid. We’ve also added a spill ring around the lid to catch any accidental spillages to save them getting on your clothes
