Prairie Pro Series 2

Goldacres 

The Prairie Pro Series 2 now features the new electronic control system referred to as G-Hub. The G-Hub system comprises of an optional cabin display, external display, PLC (programmable logic controller), I/O modules, sensors and switches control and monitor all critical machine functions and packages it all into one easy to use fully integrated system. The G-Hub also operates seamlessly with all leading steering and mapping providers using the ISO BUS protocol. On-board diagnostics allows operators to quickly pinpoint problems without the need for laptops, specialised service tools, or internet connections, thus minimising downtime.

Arguably the biggest advancement to the new model is the adaption of Goldacres own in-house developed G-Hub sprayer control system. Goldacres has raised the bar in the trailing sprayer market with the all-new Prairie Pro Series 2. The Prairie Pro has been our flagship trailing model since its release 2015, however, with farming practices changing in a direction that requires higher accuracy, less wastage, and getting more done a rethink of the range was required. The philosophy behind the new model was to create a trailing sprayer that shared the same filling and application technology from the recently released G6 Crop Cruiser Series 2. Headlining the Series 2 range is a capacity-topping 10,000-litre version with a choice of the 36m RivX boom or the tri-folding 48m TriTech V Series boom. Totally redesigned 5000, 6500, and 8500 litres models are also available with boom sizes from 24-36m with the TriTech RivX boom or 48m TriTech V series boom on the 8500L. The new Prairie Pro Series 2 features a totally new chassis and adjustable height pull to adapt to different tractor drawbars. The pull is a narrow design with the pump located to the right-hand side chassis and the large rinse tank fitted under the sprayer platform. A new higher platform and boom rest design radically cleans up the appearance of the machine whilst making access to the tank much easier. Argueably the biggest advancement to the new model is the adaption of Goldacres own in-house developed G-Hub sprayer control system. Comprising of a full colour 5” screen and keypad at the fill station and an optional 12” colour touch screen inside the tractor cabin, the system allows all functions to be quickly operated with a minimum of fuss. One of the key features of the G-Hub is the ability to enter a tank fill volume and the system does the rest, shutting off the pump and fill valves once the fill volume is met. All sprayer plumbing is designed to allow for higher fill and application rates. Fitted with an IsoBus controller and boom plumbing in either 10 or 16 sections with the Goldacres RapidFire nozzle switching and RapidFlow boom recirculation as standard.
