It’s easy to justify investing in an Apache sprayer compared to any other application option. Take the time to compare us against any alternative — pull-type sprayers, custom application, or other self-propelled sprayers. You’ll be glad you did!
Apache Advantages vs. Pull-Type Sprayers
- Speed. Spray double the acres in the same amount of time.
- Comfort. Apache’s patented self-leveling hydraulic suspension smooths the ride in the cab.
- Clearance. Higher clearance allows you to spray later into the season.
- Performance. Apache offers less crop damage compaction and better fuel efficiency, all without adding hours on your tractor.
- Resale. Apache retains (on average) 72 percent of its value after five years.
Apache Advantages vs. Custom Application
- Timing. With lots of acres to cover in a limited window, owning your own sprayer allows you to spray when you need to spray.
- Quality. Doing it yourself gives you the confidence that it’s done right.
- Cost. Compare the cost of hiring vs. doing it yourself. You’ll be surprised that in most cases, it’s smarter to spray yourself.
Apache Advantages vs. Hydrostatic Sprayers
- Cost. Less fuel. Lower ownership cost. Significantly less initial investment. Better resale value.
- Maintenance. Simple mechanical drive is easier and less expensive to maintain.
- Compaction. With 3,000 to 14,000 pounds less, Apache is lighter and reduces yield-robbing compaction.
- Power. Hydrostatic drive sprayers lose up to 30 percent of their horsepower before reaching the ground to power the sprayer. Horsepower is expensive!
